Warrior needs an overall 15% damage nerf

They’re absolutely insane right now, probably the third best class in the game after Mage and Hpal. They’re getting buffed even more in 9.0.5. They’re a utility power house that hits like a truck. Who can justify a buff for them? I don’t see how Turbo won’t be hands down the best comp come 9.0.5, they’ll be globaling at the same rate as Combust and Rets.

really just need execute/condemn/massacre to be looked at in terms of damage

but obviously the real issue lies in their utility and specifically how oppressive intervene is atm
wish they’d make intervene 45 sec / 1 min with a shorter duration

really wish they’d just make intervene stance specific to battle xd
wish there was actual risk to using it

Its their damage with their utility. I’d rather their damage be reduced instead of stripping them of their utility. They top damage in must Arenas with having MS and SB. I’m fine with their utility and enjoy the skill of intervene.

Then they should get the Rogue Treatment :stuck_out_tongue:

The Arms kit alone makes them great. The damage they have right now as well, makes them tread the line of completely broken.

Warriors have always done consistent high pressure damage. its a key point of the class. high damage with no healing. nerf the utility not the dmg.

Intervene is one of the higher skillcap abilities left in the game, you need to be reactive. I’d rather lose to that than getting mongod by cleave comps. Intervene allows them to protect healers and casters.

Arms is actually best dps spec now in game according to arena mate.

It’s not the damage thats an issue. Every class pumps out crazy damage in this metta. The problem is their 15 defensives that make them such a hard target to kill. Keep intervine (maybe a small nerf) but something has to give with the other stuff. They just have way too many outs.

Condemn is so cringe

Blizzard added an ability that somehow simplifies your rotation?

And gives mobility?

And tankiness?

Like, it’s almost never the wrong thing to do to press Condemn when it lights up. It either needs to not work with Death Sentence (unless they’re below 35%), do less damage with Sudden Death, not be able to cleave with SS, not bypass armor, not give damage reduction, or do like, 70% damage in PvP.

it’s just such a stupid thing to add

Can’t agree more with this title

condemns you

Intervene WAS one of the higher skillcap abilities when it only redirected one ability so you could intervene blinds/kidneys. Now it’s just “Press this button every go”.

Blizzard is reactive and not proactive. Anyone with a little bit of insight can see what’s coming but Blizzard will wait a couple months until everyone is completely tired of the meta before they do anything

If it makes you feel any better warriors are getting buffed in the next .5 patch with their new and improved lego

Crunch the numbers again, I came up with 14.57%

I wouldn’t nerf damage at all except for maybe condemn. Just intervene.

not when it’s a blanket 6 seconds on a 30 second cooldown

proactive > reactive

reactive will always be the lowest possible skillcap

its not even a skill ability anymore they just press it off cooldown anytime the healer is cced and eat your entire burst, sometimes they get 1 shot by ret troll stuff, but half the time it ruins any cooldown i try to use as a hunter.
