Warrior capability and survivability in pvp is depressing

Too many casters now have insane self heals, all the hunters just send in scorpid pets, casters with tank specs that are tuned to crazy amounts, palas with wotlk rotation and all warriors get is… pve talents and 1 charge cd in combat? What were the design decisions going into this, and what is going to be done later to level the playing field?

Make warriors look boring in comparison to other classes in phase 1 so 90% of the population doesn’t roll warrior like you would imagine they would if it was ERA fresh.

well if u are playing warrior and planning to go pvp atleast go gnome :smiley: or orc for ressist

It is useless to resist a stun from time to time if in any case our dps is starving, our rage generation ineffective, the total absence of skills or useful runes (the only rune which modifies our gameplay a little with SoD is Warbringer… which is behind a depressing farm) in short, the warrior is the most neglected class in SoD at the moment, I could add the hunter from the absence also of rune which changes its gameplay (nothing new since Classic) but at least the hunter is doing very well in pve and pvp. On the other hand, paladin, warlock, druid, rogue, it’s the festival in pvp, fun, efficient gameplay, good runes…

Not every class needs to be amazing at level 25. Warrior is doing the most DMG ALREADY in raids and they’ll only get better. If it goes the way it’s heading now, warriors will be even more of a broken mess than they were in classic wow era.

At least now other classes gets to shine before you warriors inevitably do 3x everyone’s damage at 60.

Im doing pvp with shield in def. Stance and its much better for pvp. Very hard to kill plus alot of useful abilities for support like kick, disarm and devastate so other melee can kill faster. Devastate actually does fair amount of dmg so can even stand your ground 1v1. I also specced into piercing howl so peeling off FC or gain distance if im FC myself is quite easy. With help of consumes pvp isnt that bad. And warbringer is total mage killer at long last.

That said i will agree that warrior plays almost identical to Era servers so nothing new and exciting to press for us at the moment…

In a perfect world, this wouldn’t be the case but anyone with the most basic of Classic WoW knowledge knew that warriors at 25 suck in pvp. It is what it is, someone had to draw the short stick.

The issue isn’t even sucking at level 25, it’s that basically none of the warrior runes are transformative or interesting in any way.

Quick Strike is Hamstring+ for WF fishing, Devastate is Sunder Armor+, 20% more rage or 2h AA speed etc. Literally None of these change how the class is played but hopefully this will change in the 40 bracket.
