Why is there no Phase 2 Raid 2h Weapon better than WW Axe or Ravager?

Compare: https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=213292/gizmotron-gigachopper and https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=213416/thermapluggs-rocket-cleaver

With: https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=6975/whirlwind-axe and https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=7717/ravager

Both Ravager and WW Axe are able to be acquired pre-40 and have higher top-end numbers than every Raiding 2h - which require Level 40.

This also means that Alliance has the exclusive BIS 2h this phase - https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=6830/bonebiter

I was expecting a Raid 2h to have at least 175-180 top end damage. Yuck.

So now Blizzard is forcing players to PvP for PvE BIS items? Yuck.

This.

I’m pretty sure we will use those over the PvE items unless you get your hands on a pendulum of doom but idk if even that is better than the PvP items.

They arent forcing you to do anything.

Reminds me of the “the libs force me to marry my friend and adopt a child” skit.

You got more option then you think the best 2h wep is going to be Staff of jordan with a 40.4 dps you got pendulum of doom at 38.88 and bonebiter at 38.82 still bis is staff of jordan cant wait to see warrior with these.

Any SOJs are going to be way too expensive - staff is likely BIS till 60 for casters.

Less than 0.1% drop rate.

Alliance only.

They said stats aren’t final, on Twitter of course

Yup.

You’ll survive.

Probably.

It was also said numerous times in the P2 sneak peak video, as well as said in the forums post about it.

I was told raiders just raid for the joy of it, and that’s why I shouldn’t have a pvp gear progression. That I, too, should just grind BGs for the fun of it. Hmmm. Turns out that was just a lie :open_mouth:

Season of discovery is about discovery.

That meas you have to play the game pve and pvp included

Do you have a link?

Because one shotting after a charge is good game play? Over-tuned class bro, what else is there to say.

Nope, staff is already worse than bfd loot, nevermind new gnomer loot

That’s Vanilla, bro. If you don’t like it, don’t play.

No… I am pretty sure this is SoD… And the devs made it their mission statement to make warriors LESS OP than in Vanilla. You dont like the new system with better class balance and want to one shot after a charge? I have some advice for ya…

If you dont like it dont play.

Source? Because Warrior is well over 100 dps better than it is in Vanilla at this point.
