Warriors are broken, here's why and why they should be reverted to top DPS on a no wbuffs setting

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
1

The essence of wow classic has always been warriors are top dps, regardless of wbuffs and without world buffs

What SOD dev team is trying to do is to base off a balancing on alaundoh’s top dps with all wbuffs possible. This means without wbuffs, warriors can’t do much damage

Well I’m telling you warriors are SUPPOSED to do far more damage than every class, even without wbuffs setting. You should never try and balance a warrior class based on world buffs, a wbuff is just another bonus icing on the cake. If warriors in era do 2x the damage on wbuffs vs other classes, that’s perfectly alright and okay because he’s a warrior buddy. You can’t give that double damage role away to mages, rogues and hunters or any other class there is

Warriors are supposed to be top dps BY FAR , without wbuffs

The reason why warriors are designed by original ganster or OG blizzard to be top dps to begin with, is because they’re trash in pvp, they literally have no control over other players compared to the control of hunters, rogues or mages

Now you’re basing their damage off of wbuffs, is a highly uneducated move and highly distorted move. Which makes the warrior really underwhelming and out of context of what the class is meant to be. Other classes should never come close to a warrior’s DPS and greatness, that’s not being biased, it’s how OG’s designed the warrior role commensurate and synonymous to other class roles, controls and functions

Stop the bullshido balancing, follow the original chessboard and learn to develop by following the game of chess, because clearly you’re making moves that are outside the game

Do you understand?

Uh no? The design philosophy for warriors for vanilla was “Main tank, comparable damage to rogues.”

Um, you have a source showing this is what they are doing?

No, they aren’t.

I’m talking about OG developers of blizzard, not the new movement of let’s try and even out the barbarian class with magicians, archers and dagger wielders

What’s happening now is that, oh yeah warriors carry that huge enormous axe, but let’s make it half the size because my magics are not as strong as that axe. But your magics has far more control and functions

This is what I mean by the context of the game of chess, the OG’s understood this and they made classes have their own roles. The SOD dev team of activision now does not know how to make moves on the chess board

I respect your opinion though

Yes I am too. It has been stated by the original devs. They never said warriors were supposed to be far higher damage than other classes. In fact, they explicitly said that warriors doing that much damage was not intended.

That’s not what is happening. You’re just mad that you aren’t getting a free ride from class pick. Something that was stated would be changing before SoD even released. Era is still there, go play Era.

You haven’t played era if you haven’t seen how the OG’s made the warrior class

Warriors are definitely out of anyone’s league in PVE

But are garbage in PVP

6

I have played Era, how Era is structured =/= design intent. The original devs literally wrote books and did reddit AMAs on this. Go read those.

Yes, and it was entirely NOT intended to be that way. But again, if you want to play Era go play Era.

At the end of the day

If warriors are not reverted to how the class is meant to be by the OG’s

All it means is they’ll remain garbage with a 10x factory in pvp

This is exactly the implication of the balancing being made

8

You’re being melodramatic and wrong.

9

Shamans, Paladins, Hunters, Rogues, Mages, Warlocks

are not wrong when dominating warriors in PVP in ERA

It’s a 10x factor in SOD

That’s not an exaggeration, but a certainty

10

Everyone dominates Warriors in 1v1 PVP in Era, and every warriors dominates everyone else in organized PVP. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Git gud or go back to Era.

11

Oh really organized PVP, a mage organized PVP or a rogue organized PVP

also exceeds warrior organized PVP

You couldn’t say otherwise because I actually know how the game of chess works

They could open a season of arena in SOD and it only proves this thread

Organized PVP as in group based PVP activities, BGs, etc.

I bet you I play chess way more than you do, and do you know what the most common group was for 5 man STV last phase? Warrior, ret paladin, feral druid melee cleave.

13

And a rogue or ehance shaman replacing that warrior setup would do much more

Wrong. Do you know why the warrior was key to that group? The warrior has the highest level of control tools for large scale conflicts. Multiple charges, the ability to break roots, fear immunity, mortal strike effects, pummel, hamstring, and they are beefy. Way beefier than rogues.

You don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re just mad you aren’t doing as well as you think you should. No free ride, no easy wins. Go back to Era.

era is much more balanced than sod,

it’s a fact where all classes have their own dilemma counter class

16

I’m sure you believe that. You should go back there and play it then if it’s such a better version of the game. Why are you even here in SoD?

17

it goes back to playing chess, the OG’s proves that in ERA

whereas as in SOD, there’s no chessboard

18

Then go play Era. It still exists. Go play it.

I can understand your point of view, however I have a different way of counterbalancing perceived OP classes. I play them instead, until the ones I want to play are the OP ones. “No King rules forever” as some early Blizzard voice actor once said.

i agree with you but this is season of le heckin hybrids and aggrends favorite classes aka shamans and lolrets.
don’t worry too much, era is gaining more and more traction after it’s been very evident how much of a dumpster fire this soddy experiment has been. we’ll get fresh 'nilla soon(ish)
