What benefit is there to playing warrior

@Bladetsar-arugal

Again, what is the point of playing warrior versus these two classes that eclipse it completely?

Plenty…

1. No competition for Tier piece so you gear up ultra fast in progression when it matters most

2. superior mobility

3. most fun to play by far (in part due to above)

Like it or not, these players are currently ‘the best’ by any measurable metric at classic wow, and they choose to use a prot warrior sometimes. They spend incredible amounts of time deliberating over their raid comp, every choice matters when you’re going for the fastest clear time in the world. It shows clear value for prot war in high performance environments, in context of the forum thread titled ‘what benefit is there to playing warrior’ it’s pretty damn relevant.

I’m the 1 who first mentioned that the fastest clear time used a prot war and a bear and dude just ignored me lmfao.

[Serrannah-eranikus]

Because it didn’t fit his view.

[Ferine-eitrigg]

You’re talking about a speed running guild with some of the best players in the world. This isn’t mythic retail that’s not where the balance focus lies.

Nothing is particularly wrong with prot warriors either, they are simply redundant and not pursued by the vast majority of the player base

[Bladetsar-arugal]

Clearly nothing I said fit your view, since paladins decided to report me off the forums.

I’ll be sure to do the same in kind. So you better watch what you say from now on, I’ll be keeping a close eye.

[Serrannah-eranikus]

I’m sorry, are you admitting you’re going to abuse the reporting system from now on?

And for the record, I haven’t reported any of your posts.

you sure it’s paladins who reported you?

he just did exactly that.
Given how much personal vitriol is spewed here on this board, if you are banned here, you did something to deserve it.

That’s what top parsers are using (raid logs)… why are tanks any different?

[Serrannah-eranikus]

@Dredstan-atiesh

Well, I’m pretty sure that’s breaking rules. Maybe you’re the one that needs to be careful from now on, Bladetsar.

[Dredstan-atiesh]

@Serrannah-eranikus

I’m pretty sure that’s breaking rules.

it is. He was banned for a reason and will be banned again if he tries that.

[Ferine-eitrigg]

You’re talking about a tiny percentage of the player base

The vast majority of raids and guilds are not looking for Prot warriors

[Bladetsar-arugal]

Nonsense, I called the paladin playstyle “soft-brained” and I stand by that statement. Astroturfing me with reports is the only way paladins can get me to shut up about their whining which has caused two balance changes now.

I never suggested I’ll spam the report tool. I’ll just use it appropriately now whereas before I didn’t use it at all.

I’d be shocked at Serrannah’s scarecrow tactics towards me if they weren’t so commonplace.

The damage rotation itself isn’t complex. But then you have to weave in other spells like:

Hand of Salvation on your ranged during General Vezax to ensure they don’t pull threat
Hand of Protection if they do, or to clear physical debuffs in other fights
Hand of Sacrifice or Divine Sacrifice or Aura Mastery for boss mechanics
Lay on Hands for tanks/healers
Divine Intervention so you can rez quicker on Algalon to get more attempts in
Flash of Light instant casts during heal intense fights (and when you can’t Exorcism)
Hand of Freedom on your teammates during mobility based mechanics

A good Paladin will do all of these things and more while bringing as much damage as possible. A bad paladin will just do the dps rotation.

@Bladetsar-arugal

Astroturfing me with reports is the only way paladins can get me to shut up about their whining which has caused two balance changes now.

Or maybe its your really bad takes and personal attacks which have caused you to get flagged. I swear, you and Yama really lack in self reflection.

@Bladetsar-arugal

Gaslighting at its finest folks.

You’re the one threatening to abuse report tools, don’t put that on me.

[Bladetsar-arugal]

You can deny the truth (which is what I imagine a lot of paladins do) but I didn’t report anyone before this happened.

I didn’t threaten to abuse report tools, but I will report you for trolling (slander) in this case. Quote where I said that.

I said if people are going to astroturf my posts with reports to get me to shut up I’ll simply start using the report tool as intended on my end. Both instances (ret pallies whining about buffs, and this reporting nonsense) were started by other parties.

[Maru-benediction]

this dude never stops complaining. Blue parsing warrior. Maybe start parsing in the top 5% and then you can complain about warriors being bad.

[Bladetsar-arugal]

Already up to purple bud. Like I told parse-lords like yourself, I had to move from prot to fury (after going prot from level 10) so check my progress through the weeks.

Then compare it to yours and despair at your joke of a post.

Also it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. So quit being pathetic and stay on point.

[Modorcaid-grobbulus]

God what a disingenuous turd you are.

[Bladetsar-arugal]

Careful, he’s gonna report you so it seems like there are no counter-opinions to his.
