Warrior is only a damage bot and a mediocre one at best, it gets out damaged by a dozen better specs.
Cant solo hold nodes, cant hold nodes without a healer.
Can’t steal nodes.
Can’t run the flag.
Can’t keep up with MW, Pres, Druid EFC.
Literally can get easily 1v1’d by any class if the player is good.
All it does is spin mid while doing poo dam and you better pray your feral, rogue or hunter are going to carry you on off nodes.
It’s so boring how little impact this class has in blitz.

I play arms and prot and both do well.
Can solo hold nodes
Can steal nodes off hunters and rogues
Runs flags when needed (especially prot)
MW can’t get away from my prot and arms they die before they do
1v1 against anyone, hmm not really
Think that is your problem, you don’t have to spin mid all the time, try getting out and about
Boring - I love it
Two charges, leap, intervene makes it one of the better battle mobility classes
Has two stuns and a fear so it can put out some CC
Avatar can remove roots and slows and there is a talent to make your stam shout do it as well.
Warrior can stack mortal wounds on enemies so healers have to work harder to heal anyone getting hit by the warrior
Execute still is one of the best abilities at securing kills compared to other classes versions.

Warrior this expansion plays more like a utility class that gets stronger with more team mates around you. In a big group fight a warrior can basically man handle the enemy into having to over invest into a fight.
I will bounce around the enemies backlines to force them to stay and also distract the healers with keeping them up. If the backline focuses me I just leap back to my side get some heals then charge the healer smack it with a CC then charge the backline again.
enhance sham seems kinda poop too man i mean … what do they even have that sticks out? like… what do they EXCEL at??? serious? i havent ever played one really so idk

I played CTF on my alt warrior last night. Killed efc and capped twice. Not useless dude. It has its problems sure. But definitely not useless.
Warriors forever on the gaslighting crusade to convince everyone they are perpetually unviable.

I just don’t get all the hate. Been playing warrior since vanilla. Still my favorite. It needs fixes in some areas that’s for sure. Lol
Their class forum is so doom and gloom.

I didnt look to see if you were playing Arms or Fury. For Fury its usefulness is or at least was, nuking anyone that puts themselves out of range of their healer. The burst that Fury has or had(not sure how bad the nerfs were) allowed it if supported, to mow down anyone without active physical damage mitigation in just a few seconds. Whirlwind to negate traps and other CC and generally just Zug Zug one target until it goes to the graveyard. Its not the pinnacle of flag carrying or node CC caps, but it is doing ok. If you’re outnumbered and several ranged focus you, you die like almost anything else does. If you want more mobility, and to maintain disarm, MS, gain pets and teliportation, maybe try WW.
warrior has spells and abilities so I think it’s generally in a really good spot compared to specs that do not have spells or abilities.
If you can’t keep up with classes as warr with 2 charges, leap, intervene, spear, stuns. I don’t what to tell ya.

here is a tip, go onto the ladders and copy the specs of people in the top 10 and use their builds. They tend to be better than Icy Veins suggested builds.
Also the warrior MaxDPS addon is good to use for a little bit to learn the order to use attacks because the way the skills work right now there are damage buffs that are applied when using certain skills in certain orders.
I’ve been using the maxdps addons to setup my combat bars and then once I have the buttons down to something easy to remember I just have the maxdps addon there as a prompt to tell me something just got off cool.

Yes. Certainly some Warriors excell, some dont. Unless a spec has nearly no representation near the highest CR, doing poorly could be improved with the right knowledge and practice. However, specifically for Fury, players of the spec with lots of rating might have gotten that rating pre-nerfs. I havent had enough experience fighting Fury players after their damage and my survivability were both nerfed to have a strong opinion about how they compare.
Enh excel at firmly pressing their W key and getting carpal tunnel

Literally everything you said only prot can do (except kill a mw)
Im experienced at playing arms and nearly every other class except warriors can easily kill you within a 3-4 global window during their burst, as fury its FATAL100% since every dps now has a MS. Unless youre in the 700 bracket and mmr you are never going to solo steal a base from a sole rogue or hunter as both hard counter warrior (delusional to think otherwise or never been to a higher bracket in pvp altogether) the only way you can do that is if theyre terribly bad.
The only thing arms is good for and warrior in general is following a healer and engaging in group battles as without a healer you are 100% griefing and dead in every situation
Solo chasing a EFC is griefing as well since youre not going to 1 global them like a feral druids 500k rip dots.
Running flag besides last second flag steal is also considered griefing if youre a warrior as well. Youre not a FC youre a group battle unit cleaning up situations with a healer giving fc a easier time running back and to flag
warrior has almost been bad without a healer in pvp for the entirety of the game…find a healer. its literally always been this way for pvp for warriors.
