Avatar is Boring

Classes Warrior
1

Avatar is a boring spell, basically just a Warrior’s Avenging Wrath.

Why not make it so it acts as a massively more powerful Heroic Leap?

You activate it, and you get a targeting reticule like aforementioned spell and when you land in a group of mobs it does a huge amount of damage, and THEN you get to be a colossus for 20 seconds or so. Perhaps make it only last 15 in order to balance the new effect. Maybe even the more enemies you land on the longer it lasts.

It would also solve the issue of it being a ‘press button to do more damage’ and that’s all you do with the GCD.

transforming into an Avatar would be nice AF … maybe adding 1 special ability … a giant / COLOSSAL aoe or something like that :smiley:

Avatar is great for Prot Warriors, use it with talent Unstopable Force and you are Godlike :smiley: How can you say spell is boring? you would want it to spawn dancing rainbow-coloured rabbits along with dmg boost?

A metamorphosis bis so ?

You really don’t understand the difference between effectiveness and interesting do you-- aah a common baffling nature of many WoW players.

“I’d rather play a boring but powerful rotation over a less powerful but more interesting one.”

The most inexpicable thing is how all these statistics lovers find their way into an RPG.

I’ve just stating explicitly what I think would be a good idea for it to do, or are comprehension skills another flaw for you?

Changing one 1,5m cd won’t make Fury rotation more interesting.

It’s ALREADY a Metamorphosis ability isn’t it? It changes the player into a stone colossus.

Much in line with Blizzard’s correct statement, they want cooldown abilities to have some impact when you activate them-- as opposed to it just being “You know do 20% more damage.” which is unsatisfying to use a GCD on from a purely fun gameplay angle.

EDIT: Yea I haven’t played DH all that much as frankly I find them to be all flash and no depth. Meta does have that jump thing when you click it aye, but I think it actually makes less sense for them to have this-- it would be better if Warriors got that as they have Heroic Leap, and Demon Hunters created a Fel Wave from their wings when activating Meta.

Since Avatar is an ability developed by the mountain kings, it would make more sense to have it tied to a storm affinity.
Something like you pop it, and then a massive thunderstrike crashes down ontop of you to turn you into the avatar would be cool. Would of course do damage as well.

TBH Avatar would summon powerful Storm Giant to fight at your side for 20 seconds, having unique abilities etc. That would be something new for warriors except chance on hit effect from Deathwing sword ^^

The whole theme of the warrior is to be self reliant though.

11

Maybe that’s why people are considering warriors boring, just a simple guy, with big sword/axe/mace and hitting with it, not a single spell included, nothing magical about warriors.

12

You’d think so yeah, but that’s why some of us prefer warriors.
Warriors is the only thing in this game which has actually happened. There’s just a certain satisfaction in overpowering some Mary Sue without having to use magic.

13

I think you’re reading to much into this.

I’m just following on from what the developers have said. They don’t want long cooldowns that you just press and nothing really happens visually or on a gameplay level. Just having 20% more damage doesn’t feel any different.

It’s boring.

Yes it generates 20 rage, which really is very little and lost in the swamp of normal generation anyway. The CC break is also just thrown in for balance, and clearly in say raiding, is never really considered because the 20% damage is what the ability is used for.

14

incorrect. your statement about warriors beying the only thing in game that actualy happend. priests still exist today. shamans existed in some cultures and druids from celtic culture.

15

You’re not serious right?
Shamans chopped off people’s head with hatchets and practiced voodoo magic. Not so much with elements.
And the only spell a priest ever casted was a tax spell.
I also haven’t seen anyone turn into an animal before.

They have the same title, but at their core they’re not the same.

I don’t notice Bladestorm being effective damage wise in pvp. It’s an extra trinket on a 60 sec CD. Other than that it’s useless.

Avatar is just another trinket in pvp to break free from snares and roots.

17

must be joking, bladestorm dmg is good currently…
