Not only less rage from doing less damage, but also less rage from taking less damage.
The damage reduction changes are a huge buff to any class that can heal (which ofc warriors cannot).
In addition, it makes any spec other than pvp arms worse because you now NEED mortal strike to deal with the buffed healing value. RIP to any glad chads out there.
Since you know the finer details of the damage reduction aura being added, please list out the specific details here in this forum for the rest of us to read.
Except you’re talking about systems that change base on the target being affected. Anger management only ever impacts the Warrior with it. So again, how do you differentiate whether the combat you’re in is PvP or PvE?
It can’t be based solely off being pvp flagged or if you’re in a specific zone either. The combatants in the given encounter also can’t be the sole factor either.
I just answered that. The same framework that differentiates between PvE and PvP combat in Retail can do so in SoD. There are HUNDREDS of abilities that do different values or have different functionality between PvE and PvP on retail already. It just isnt applied or utilized the way it needs to be there.
SoD can benefit from that framework and functionality if and only if it is properly applied and utilized. It can be implemented on SoD because of the base client SoD uses.
Seriously though, why does the SoD team have such a vendetta against warrior players? Why the hell is such an iconic class constantly being destroyed outside of raid?
I dont think its a vendetta. I think Warriors were honestly the benchmark they compared everyone else against for PvE and tried to bring everyone to their level while allowing scaling modifiers(wrecking crew, CBR & flagellation specifically) to do the heavy lifting to prevent them from falling behind.
They didnt change much with warriors because there wasnt much that needed changing. Arms was one of the premier PvP specs, Fury the top dog in PvE and Prot was the bar against which all tanks were measured in Vanilla/Classic (and often found wanting)
