So, the data is out for fury, not that we needed to wait to see it, everyone knew it. What plenty people said would happen, happened. Week 1 heroic logs, no full tierset data on ALL the classes, although we already knew what to expect in terms of DPS gains from tierset, everyone knew fury tierset was garbage, I gained a whopping 5400 dps going from 2p>4p; exciting stuff.
This was just knee-jerk rubbish as usual from blizzard. They designed a raid where 6/8 encounters were based around periodic add waves and of course who’d have known it, fury was good at this; it’s the only thing we do well (or did - looking at frost dks), we got nerfed not once, not twice, but we’re being lined up for a 3rd nerf. And let’s not forget the 2nd wave of nerfs to fury ALSO nerfed our ST, which of course was already in the dumpster.
Let’s take the focus away from raiding for a minute though and talk about M+, I’m not a massive pusher by any means or a pusher in general, I do my 10s, maybe I do an 11 maybe a couple keys higher in a guild run, but in the last week especially I have noticed Rets, Frost DKs, Enhance shamans, Assa Rogues, doing the same, or beating me, even in less gear at times. And somehow fury is expecting another nerf in the coming patch, make that make sense blizzard or anyone for that matter…I need someone to make it make sense because classes like Ret paladin, not only do more sustained aoe damage than myself, they also bring much more useful utility than I. If blizzards plan is to make fury just bad to average joe on everything, then why should I bring the fury warrior over the ret paladin signing up for my key? I wouldn’t. Simple.
This isn’t the first time fury has been in this situation, it happened once or twice in dragonflight aswell, fury starts a tier well, blizzard panic for some reason? and que the kneejerk nerfs. And it’s so predictable at this point it’s actually exhausting.
Why would I bring a fury warrior? To burst some adds down? and we aren’t even the best at doing that, again frost dks can do this AND boss damage, yet for some reason completely avoided your last 2 tuning passes.
I want blizzard to clarify what their goal for fury is, or will be going forward, because right now, it looks to me like you don’t want fury being good at anything. And that confuses me because there are some specs currently, that can do it all.
