Dear Warriors of the EU forums,
It is with a heavy heart and thoughts that I have to bring this information to you all.
The purpose of these nerfs are to make it so that Fury Warrior is no longer the only premium pick for on-demand AoE burst. As we feel Fury warrior is doing this job too well, we decided to see you reigned back to a more seccond fiddle position. You are still very strong and a good option, you are just fine even with the nerfs and will be a decent pick to bring for this task area. It is just too oppressive when Slayer Fury can outburst our other more high-skill specs that require more thoughts and action structure to perform at the best level.
The goal is not to hurt Slayer, or rather Fury as a whole, in M+. This is sadly just an unfortunate impact of these much needed changes. The goal is not to see Fury become obsolete, and you have my and the whole teams word that Fury Warrior will still be fine and a viable pick for your M+ 10 groups.
We ask that you look at it from the other side. How would retribution feel if it didn’t bring better burst, more sustained damage, offhealing and more utility? Indeed, it is clear. Retribution would be in a very bad spot comparably.
Please understand that being fine, and you are fine, is fine. Being excellent at nothing is perfectly fine. Your damage is fine and it is all fine.
As such, with the goals above and the path we set for the spec being Fury, we hope you understand that AoE burst will be further nerfed in the future. Don’t worry, we will compensate with flat damage aura buffs next tier.
We wont delete your points or concern on the forums, as they wont be read either way. But don’t worry, we make sure to have the Warrior Discord and Reddit moderated to remove such misscontent and missinformation like; “warrior is not fine”. We do again stress, you are fine and everything is fine.
I thank you for time and understanding.
Sincerely,
The Blizz Dev Warrior team
