Prot War - dead on arrival

At this point WCL has ONE warrior in top100 tanks.

Best performing tank warrior has a score of 36,72, which is below every other tank spec in the game.

There are
3,8k parses for rogues
9k parses for warlocks
12,1k parses for paladins
9,5k parses for druids
4,3k parses for shamans
and
10,2k parses for warriors

it’s not a statistical error, the most iconic tank class - warrior is just downright bad and on top of that we got this:

  • Warlock’s Metamorphosis now increases threat by 77%
  • Rogue’s Just a Flesh Wound threat increased from 111 to 165 + Main Gouche additional 50% threat after using SS
  • Paladin’s Righteous Fury from 60% to 80% and new libram proccing shield with literally windfury

Warrior got devastate threat buff for 50%, a skill that is normalized to weapon dps. No general threat buff. Literally 10k warrior tanks just got a slap in the face and are forced to reroll.

What was it in the beginning of SOD said?
“We are not going to nerf that hardest hitting warrior class, we are going to buff others!” - or something like that.

Well - it’s time to buff protection warriors and finally remove stupid devastate nerf from phase2.
