Literally on every conceivable front warrior is… bad
On PVP warrior is getting absolutely shredded by pretty much anyone
On PVE every single group is looking for rDPS or healers
My own guild kicked me out from signed up raid to Gnomeregan arguing they need more rDPS (EVEN THO I was one of the first to sign up and my parsing was 2nd place when looking at last gnome raid with them). Even tho Gnomeregan is not challenging on mechanical level, people would rather get a sub-optimal ranged damage dealer than a well performing warrior damage dealer which to me is insane.
No, I will not force myself to play a role of a tank - that’s not who I am and that’s not what my class fantasy and role was when I created my character.
No, I will not reroll another class.
Joining a new guild is futile, every one of them already has THE warrior (who’s probably GM’s BFF, girlfriend or uncle) and a second warrior in Gnomeregan raid is inconceivable.
Every single pug is looking for tanks, healers or rDPS
When the sub ends, I will not resubscribe, it’s impossible to play the game as my main.
No, I will not force myself to play a role of a tank - that’s not who I am and that’s not what my class fantasy and role was when I created my character.
not to mention, tanking as a warrior right now is an exercise in frustration, worse mitigation of all tanks if you want to have any chance of holding aggro, an your threat is so luckluster (it was good enough to hold in vanilla/classic IF you knew what you were doing, against the new runes, not a chance)
The problem with warrior is that we have some nice utility but there’s no point bringing more than one to a raid and everybody and their grandmother wants to play warrior. Over 15% of the playerbase are trying to play warrior.
Every WSG I join has had 3 warriors in it on my team.
That doesn’t sound like a very nice guild at all. I’d try to find another one if I were you. Avoid the sweaty ones.
Welcome to WoW.
Well if you’re trying to sell something people don’t want to buy, you shouldn’t bee too surprised that sales are low.
With the meta shift towards ranged dps in this phase melees in general have found themselves in a situation much like the release of TBC. Suddenly there was a massive surplus of warriors and rogues, with many raids taking perhaps one of each in TBC.
But the pendulum might swing in the other direction in the next phase and warriors will be the hot girl at the bar again. Either way, there are guilds that don’t adhere to the meta 100% and let people play whatever they want. Finding a good guild might take time, but when you do it will greatly improve your experience.
It most certainly is. You just gotta put in some effort.
Same.
Every gnomer group now wants 6 ranged so there’s not that many melee spots to begin with.
And then warriors gotta compete with the likes of ferals, paladins and melee hunters which all bring more dps and / or more utility.
Lol. What a joke.
I’m sorry devs some big scary warrior must have hurt you in era so now you do this.
Warriors don’t even MT anymore, the class literally can’t generate AOE threat to keep the trash packs in order, only viable MTs are warlock/shaman/paladin.
Which means you can only OT, and the OT role is one boss of menagerie if your tank can’t tank all 3 and switching on the last boss if your tank can’t kite. That’s it… and both of those roles are already optional and will be optimised out by most groups soon.
So effectively warriors have NO place in gnomer… gee wonder why the population is dropping so fast.
OR just play with people that aren’t poopieheads. Oh wait I forgot that many of you demand to be able to play with the worst people the community has to offer at any time of the day.
