I would love to know how you decide to tune classes, you’ve made changes to a number of classes that are performing far better than Arms in raid and M+ and yet again not a single line of changes for DPS warriors.
Fury warrior has zero burst single target/AoE now, our “signature” AoE abilities are just not worth taking & our cooldowns are lackluster in general. Fury is in a much better place than Arms but the AoE situation is ridiculous. You need to either massively buff BS (& slayer specific aoe), Ravager, OF, Roar or stop being so stubborn with this 5 target hard cap on improved whirlwind and lift it to 8 target soft cap.
Arms warrior is just completely dead, AoE is lagging miles behind, single target in raid and especially M+ is low to bottom of the pack. To start with, the spec is clunky and awkward, the amount of GCDs we have to press before we start our rotation is pretty wild when comparing to some other classes, and even after that set up we tickle like a damp fart wafting by in the breeze. Even with a 10% Aura buff I think we’d be miles behind, please just give us some dedicated dev TLC, we’re all getting extremely frustrated over here.
You’ve had tonnes of solid, constructive feedback from the community for months/years now yet we see nothing. Theory crafters have now even made full talent tree reworks for both Arms and Fury which look far better than what we have now.
I would just love to know if you’ve shelved development for the class so I can reroll. Alternatively please get some of our awesome theory crafters involved with class change/future development discussions, because they display a passion & understanding of the warrior class that disappeared from Blizzard years ago.
I completely agree with this post. I’ve been maining warrior for 19 years now. The state of warrior dps currently is that its just not fun. I have poor utility and poor damage. Who wants a warrior dps to M+ dungeons? Like come on, why is there no tuning when just about every other class gets consistent tuning patches constantly and dps warriors get a 5% aura slap on the wrist and Blizzard continues to ignore the core issues?
It’s highly frustrating, I don’t want to reroll but I’m genuinely close, I’ve playing warrior since MC and ZG (on an old account). I would love them to release rework timelines, just so we know if it’s worth sticking it out or playing something well designed until we are getting a redesign. I also feel like the micro reworks we’ve had have made the class worse overall, especially nuking capstones which is one of the reasons our aoe is lacking behind the pack so much.
I play since February 2005 and my main is a warrior for two decades now, never switched, dedicated to this class.
Played prot for the initial years because of my guild actively raiding and pushing raid content hard until the late of TBC. After that I fell in love with arms and never touched fury.
Being a dps warrior is a pain, getting a pug group is pita too. Last season I pushed with pugs until 10-11s, then admit I decided to buy my 3000 M+ mount for Gold.
For the first time ever I did not have the will and strength to continue and bought a boost for my last seasonal goal (did everything else incl. solo 8 masks visions, solo delve boss etc.).
Funny is that in the end it ended up like I did not buy a boost, I Just bought a reliable group of people to play with. I just performed well in all those 12s and 13s contributing to overall dps properly and died like 1-2 times in all those 7 runs (1 run of M+12 I managed to find the inner strength to do with PuG - took me 4 hours with 3,5 hours getting a proper group through LFG). But competent PuGs won’t invite you still…
This is the state of dps arms warrior, without premade group and dedicated friends you are toasted in M+ and having a hard time ahead of you, if you want to reach the goals on your own by pugging. I do not want to reroll every season, but even doing the weekly outdoor PvE stuff with several alts in Veteran gear track feels better than my poor main
Time to play meta class every season to be able to PuG then? Why there is no M+ season with Arms being meta? Why are some classes and specs repeatedly a meta? Why do you have to press 2-3 times more buttons and monitor more buffs and stacks and still perform lower than some 4 button dps machine? Legit questions to ask the devs imho.
We, brothers and sisters, are just forgotten by the developers, as is the ruined PvP mode by queue syncers and wintraders. Blizzard does not care.
Too bad our community is not as vocal, we are straight dumpster fire now on dps specs, Arms is so bad in all accounts i cant even begin to describe it, doing pvp end of season was the full circle, there is no content where Arms is even decent not to mention the garbage state of the spec skills/talents animations, ALL is outdated and bad.
I must stop play this game when blizz dont know what is balance. Warr is now really bad and it was same on ptr. And what is blizz doing? Total nothing.
I’m trying, I posted a few things on the PTR forum and on here, but the community isn’t overly active unlike the US forums. I have to admit I feel like I’m wasting my breath. We literally have fan made reworks in the community which seems pretty solid, yet most changes blizzard make to the class are irrelevant/make things worse. They really need to hire some people from the community to help get us back on track.
