“Oh don’t worry guys warriors will be back on top”
Rogues doing 1400 average boss dps, warriors doing 900 lol
So not only are warriors the worst in PVP, the worst levelers, worst soloers can barely kill 2-3 equal level mobs in open world, and worst tanks, but at level 60 when they were finally supposed to be good, they’re the absolute worst
“Oh they just need gear!” Yes, I’m sure MC gear will account for a 500 dps difference (It wont) not to mention rogues will just scale with better gear also
The devs basically lied when th ey said they’ll make everyone OP. Their aim has been to destroy warriors every phase and now they finally have
Yeah and it’s not like they’ll have an opportunity to close the gap as long as you need that much fire resist
And ofc every class is neutered by this so it’s not like warriors can do anything to suddenly close the gap. The difference between Ironfoe and Brut Blade is literally 2-3 dps on sims lol
First off the warcraft logs I have been looking into aren’t that dire, there are more rogues about the 1400 but not by much, and there are still warriors doing that much too. Kind of implies the gear is the issue not the class.
Second, Warriors were also underperforming in ST week 1-2, and then became top dps? No one said warriors would be top day 1. They said they would scale more with all the MC gear than anyone else.
Look at the top 20 rogue logs to clear heat 3 vs the top 20 warrior logs. It’s absolutely that dire
Warriors in ST had about 50% more damage from runes that were taken away in phase 4. So the phase 4 warrior is not the phase 3 warrior
And the MC gear is absolutely not a big enough jump to scale. Ironfoe is about 2-3 dps points below Brut blade. The difference is very minor and won’t account for 500 dps
and this is JUST raid DPS where warriors are supposed to shine
Let alone all other aspects of the game - solo play, leveling, farming, pvp - that make up 90% of our playtime where warriors are the absolute bottom
They took away ~50% of damage increases off runes. This will not at all be the same song and dance. MC gear vs pre bis gear is barely an upgrade, 100 dps or so if that
Rogues spam backstab and top meters warriors have to stance dance and have multiple macros and talents in order to do dmg its not the same. SoD is just bliz stringing people along hoping it will hold ppl over till classic + gets released while there are P servers that are currently doing classic + better than the bliz dev team that weren’t even around when vanilla was made let alone play or care about the game.
It’s been 1 hour. Every class gets some massive set bonuses. Why don’t you wait longer than 5 minutes complaining about the best scaling class in the game not doing the absolute TOP damage immediately…
