The 15 years of Warrior you’ve played is irrelevant in SL, most of the beta experience is also completely irrelevant. Some of the most respected high end Warriors in the world were saying Fury was strong a week before SL launched, and a tonne of changes to legendaries and boss mechanics happened in the weeks coming up to launch.
Very few people had much of a clue of anything prior to launch, people only recently figured out Monks were the strongest melee spec… And you somehow think you have any idea about the spec when you haven’t played it.
Honestly It baffles me that you sit here on the forums and you’re not even playing the spec. How do people know I play? Because I’ve been giving advice and first hand opinions every day on my raiding, M+, PvP and torghast experiences with the class?
You can’t fake playing the class, and you talk with such confidence in yourself and you’re the only damn person on the forum who doesn’t even play the class, you’ve less experience with SL Warrior than anyone here. Please, just go level your Warrior up for christ sake.
These are things that you could had theorised out and/or is saying based on the inspiration of what others have said. If my 15 years of experience have no meaning then what you say without posting on your Warrior is irrelevant as well.
As I said, it’s so easy to prove me wrong by showing your Warrior, and yet you keep posting on your Priest and keep saying “just trust me based on these easily debunkable things.” Objective evidence trumps everything else and you can so easily supply it, yet keep using subjective evidence as proof. Subjective evidence is useless. And the more you refuse to actually post on your Warrior the more I think my previous hypothesis is correct. It’s the WoW equivalent of “you wouldn’t know my GF anyway, she goes to another school.”
Just level up your character, your opinions will surely change even if your general line of thought doesn’t and your insight will be far more valuable. It annoys me that you never take part in any of the forum discussion that has anything to do with how Warrior actually is played.
You’ve no real experience with it and it shows, you sit there and talk concepts and fantasies about a future while being pretty oblivious to how it plays today. Just level your Warrior, why the hell are you here.
You make demands instead of actually doing as requested and going “I totally hgave a girlfriend but you wouldn’t know her as she goes to another school.”
All you have to do to show that you actually have experience is to change your posting Avatar from the constant LVL 40 priest, so either the system is broken or you never play that toon, in which case your life would be a lot easier if you changed your Avatar to your Warrior. It’s so easy and requires a minimum of effort and you refusing to do so is extremily suspicious and damaging to your arguments.
Ahh right so in the hilariously unlikely case that I’m lying about absolutely everything and all my insight into the class is just absorbed from stolen experiences of others. Assuming all that is true, then all I am is exactly the same as you?
Assuming this ridiculous nonsense you’re talking about is true, it simply would put me in the same situation as you, someone who doesn’t play the class but sits around talking about it?
Don’t be so ridiculous, I’m amazed you can sit here and talk about Warrior and feel like you have some sort of informed opinion when you don’t play it, like a backseat driver without a licence. Would it be so hard to just level up your Warrior?
A couple of minutes ago i have had a literal blast, so much fun in wsg, top of the list in kills, because we had a competent healer that was there for me when i neded it.
No, it does say a lot about you that you automatically assume this about others. You have the right to say whatever you want and I have the right to critique it if it has no basis in objective reality.
And no, what you’re doing is objectively worse than what I’mn doing since I actually post on an LVL 50 Warrior to provide that context to what I say while you post and keep posting, on an LVL 40 Priest despite it being ridiculously easy to change that. Stop playing both-side-ism to this when what you do is objectively worse than me posting on an LVL 50 toon.
Cool do you want me to post on a level 50 Warrior instead? Maybe I should cycle through all my Warrior alts with every post? All I’ve asked is that you level your Warrior so you have first hand experience and knowledge about what you’re giving feedback on.
That’s progress at least, now post on the LVL 60 Warrior instead, being technical solves nothing. If you post on your LVL 60 Warrior, with a public profile, people can check your words by looking at the objective data and determine for themselves if they should listen to you or you like Fira show a heavy bias and a Pollyanna attitude.
And again, you end with an insult that implies that you’re superior, yet you still refuse to post on your LVL 60 Warrior in a fit of immature defiance. Or does your “Warrior live in Canada and we wouldn’t know her?”
“15 years expereince” but you’re not maxed level now and you have an obvious hate towards the way warriors are now, so it makes your posting very biased.
If warriors were s tier right now you’d still argue they suck.
New expansion, new game, your expereince with the class is redundant from expansion to expansion.
Arms Warrior are actually okay / good in 1v1 right now (nothing great). The reason being is that burst is very high, and by chaining SB, Disarm, DbtS, etc you can prevent the enemy melee from damaging you for atleast more than 10 secs which should be enough to kill it with your own burst.
It’s strong enough for my Warrior to never lose a 1v1 in a World PvP settings.
Yes, because I chose another toon for SL. I’m impressed by your comment including both an ad hominem and a strawman in one. Do you know how to argue without fallacies at all?
I think Arms’ viability in duels/WPvP is entirely dependant on both your ability and the person you’re fighting.
Without a healer you have to use your abilities and defensives wisely. Trade defensives, but also don’t throw your burst into one of their defensives. If they’re any good at whatever class they’re playing, chances are they will grind you down eventually, but smart play can counter some classes quite easily.
tl;dr Warriors are as good as the people controlling them, though it’s obvious that our longevity suffers without a pocket healer.
I only have a handful of classes that i struggle with 1v1 now a days, I think SL warriors are probably top 3 out of all expansions for pvp at least for me.
