Hey guys,
Do you have the same experience as me from a warrior perspective ?
I try it two entire evening to find a pug for gnomer and no one wants a warrior dps.
I was able to find a last boss group and killed him two reset ago but that’s all
Yesterday I take 2 hours of my Time for just burn my eyes in the lfg canal and whisp guys who didnt answer or said they want range dps or maybe feral
So what is the problem Now that armor is nerf ? Do we bring nothing on the table ?
The raids mechanics tend to go range dps ?
People only wants meta ?
Im a bit sad, i have a guild and i can go Whith them to clean the raid but that will equal sacrifices in my personnal life or work to go at their schedule, thats why a pug group at any hour was perfect in Phase 1, but Now wtf is happening

What you’re experiencing is what it’s like pugging as an overpopulated DPS spec that is not currently meta. Any DPS which is not meta will struggle to find spots in PUGs, the fact that there are countless warriors competing for the same spot you are only makes it more difficult.
Gnomeregan boss armor values are overturned, it’s extremely unfavorable raid for all kinds of melees. That’s why people are leaning towards rDPS to avoid the unnecessary challenge even tho the raid itself is an absolute joke. If a warrior doesn’t have feral in his group and priest doesn’t use Homunculi warrior is forced to stack sunder which makes warrior’s damage one of the lowest. As in PVP, same goes for PVE - warrior without help from others is a one of the weakest if not the weakest class in SOD. The situation might change in Phase 3 or 4
And this is why 20-40man raids are a good idea and 10man raids are a bad idea

So spending 2 hours LFG isnt “sacrifice” your life ? 
This is pretty funny. Setting aside an hour once or twice a week to raid with your guild means the end of your real life. But spending hours upon hours scouring the LFG, begging to get into groups is somehow ok

Yea man, just make a core raid team and 80-90% of your problems disappear… and the left over % is when people cant make it and you just replace that slot.
Ive done with my guild the raid and I was always top3 dps. People want meta for content that meta isn’t required.
Just find a guild that suits your needs. Pugging is the worst thing ever

It is indeed but the main problem is that my schedule is not fix and not
Usually compatible with the guild schedule
In P1 you log and 10 min after you have a raid ready at any hour
When I say « sacrifice » its a bit exagerated but its not that easy to plan something when you have work and life like mine thats all and it wasn’t the case last phase
the changes next week i think will help a lot in time, more people will level alts (hopefully not the same spec!) and there will be more people looking for more raids

Yeah, because you were the meta pick in p1. How many DPS shamans or shadow priests do you think had the same experience then?
i never even saw a shadow priest in P1 lolol
Its not a good example cause i played shadow first phase ^^
And I must admit it was not eazy to find something as shadow but you can easily heal with shadow spec and I never fail to find a raid on it, Even find two or three Times as dps
In gnomer im not sure you can easily tank as arms main, or maybe im wrong ?
Could always just swap to tank spec for raid, but tell the raid you will be rolling on Dps if they want ya.
people always looking for tanks
That just means you were healing with a suboptimal spec.
Furthermore there are more DPS warrior parses than any other class! 340k warrior parses, with fire mage coming in second at 300k. Rogue, another class which according to this forum can’t find PUG spots is in third place with 298k. Maybe all these warriors and rogues are only playing with guilds, but I doubt that.
Join a guild plus dont forget to thank blizz that raids are so small and keep fingers crossed they will have it 40 man from BWL so there are spots not only for meta parsers.
Not when you could bring more to the raid than dps.
Half the bosses can be single tanked, half wants an offtank.
Grab a shield, learn to offtank bosses 1/5/6.
You can DPS boss 2/3/4.
Now you’re actually beneficial to the raid comp.
Phase one made it easy to find a raid,- 10 chars Altdorado
a lot of people have quit raiding all together and are just preparing for lvl 60 farming rep, PvP rank, gold and so on
melees not being that good anymore is just part of your struggles
Warriors are already damn near the top dps on most bosses in Gnomeregan.
As they’ve always been on all other vanilla content.
A lot of people roll warrior for that reason, and with the puny 10m raid size with actual mechanics requiring someone other than tunnel-visioning melee to do them, there just isn’t room for more than a couple of warriors.
It is what it is, it will get better once we get raid content instead of dungeon+
The logs prove warriors are in a good spot, it’s just that poor players in poor groups will perform… poorly.
