Then for half of TBC we were at the bottom and now in WoTLK, we’re at the bottom. And no, mages were better DPS in Classic than warriors, warriors were just preferable for speed clears thanks to cleaves and no downtime.
As of right now, a warrior has to mess around stance dancing and weaving in weak and useless abilities like Rend and Overpower just to still be at the bottom on the DPS meters.
I would have been fine with absolutely zero buffs for my class if it weren’t for Blizzard listening to the Feral and Ret crybabies, both specs of which are useful just because of their classes utility. I don’t have no raidwide defensives, or innervates or combat ressers. All I have is garbage DPS and a slight buff for dirty rogues.
