Hello Blizzard team,
The Warrior is in a really bad state right now, and while it’s good you’re at least doing something with the Protection spec, both DPS specs — Arms and Fury — are in a really poor place.
Arms is an extremely dull, overcomplicated spec, full of random multipliers, yet it doesn’t even reward the player with solid damage. It’s just button bloat, especially with abilities like Colossus. There are ability desync issues all over the place. Just look at what you’ve done with Unholy DK — their cooldowns line up beautifully. Can someone explain to me why you can’t achieve the same with Arms? Why is it so difficult to design this properly?
And Fury… for the love of god, stop being so stubborn. People are not happy with this spec. Yes, it plays somewhat fast, but it’s a completely outdated design with no real place in Mythic+. It’s old, offers nothing, and what’s worse — it doesn’t even bring strong damage. In a 5-target cap environment, Fury should be a god, and yet we’re among the bottom DPS specs.
So please, stop with the rhetoric that you’re satisfied with Fury. I don’t know who’s playing it on your end, but compared to other specs, it’s honestly a disaster.
I also can’t understand how Mage DKs Hunters gets yet another rework, along with multiple other classes, and Warrior still gets nothing. As far as I know, Warrior is one of the most iconic classes in all of gaming — it deserves some real attention, not to be constantly ignored.
From the perspective of a Warrior player,
we’re watching classes around us receive various updates while we’ve had practically no meaningful changes for years. Every time there’s a poorly designed raid or a bad decision on your end, our class ends up paying the price — often with a massive nerf that makes us either unplayable or unwanted for the rest of the season.
For someone who doesn’t have hours and hours to spare but still loves playing WoW, this is a deeply frustrating experience.
No, I’m not going to level 5 other characters just to keep up with the whims of the balance team. Wouldn’t it just be better to balance specs and classes properly from the start? To actually reflect on what you’re doing?
Seriously — for a start, just raise Fury’s target cap from 5 to 8. Or increase Rampage damage by 30%. Anything. Literally anything would be better than your stubborn silence.
