It’s been really frustrating over the past few expansions, especially since the nerf to drums from 25% to 15%. Finding a reliable source of Bloodlust (BL) has become quite challenging. Our group typically runs with a tank/healer combo of DK/Pala, and for DPS we have DK, Warrior, Priest, Pala, Druid, and Lock. As we push into higher keys, someone always has to sit out so we can pug a class that has BL. This usually means swapping our healer for a Shaman, or replacing a Warrior with a Mage.
This problem isn’t new, though. In past expansions, playing as a Pala tank, it was tough to get BL if you ended up with an all-melee group and wanted a healer who wasn’t a Shaman.
There was a similar issue with Battle Res, which Paladins finally got last expansion, making things a bit easier. Evokers now have BL for some reason, yet Warriors were left behind. Warriors already lack utility beyond the 5% attack power buff, which is only useful for a full melee group, and most people will prefer a BL class over that. It’s time for this to be fixed. Plus, it makes perfect sense from an RP perspective to give Warriors a BL shout—way more than a random dragon having it.
