Warriors are TRASH

2.3K Chaos Bolt crit
1.6k Arcane Surge
1.3K SW:D
900 Lava Burst
700 Mutilate
Not even gonna talk about melee hunters.

Meanwhile Warrior does 300 damage with his pathetic slam (ty soooo much for wasting 2 rune slots on this forgettable filler ability instead of making up something original and cool).
And no, being good in PVE doesn’t mean that Warriors need to be trash in PVP. This isn’t a valid argument it’s just moronic whataboutism.
Not a single dev plays Warrior and it’s showing. Season of discovering that incompetent devs don’t play their game and have no idea what they’re doing.

Warriors received 2 stealth nerfs and a massive bug fix last phase, and all the bosses in Gnomeregan have huge armor pools. Warriors currently aren’t good in PVE either.

There’s always this one deranged weirdo that can’t forget the trauma of warriors being bis in era so he has to mention it in every warrior thread. That line is single-handedly meant for him.

Now the “experts” will come and say that we should carry priests in our pockets and that it will be “better” with the gear from Gnomregan.

I feel for you guys… I got my warrior to 40 and instantly saw how bad it has become and already re-rolled :joy:

Maybe Phase 3 will give us a glimmer of hope

I love using 30 rage (almost a third of our resource) to cast our supposed most powerful instant cast ability, and only hitting for 300.

Meanwhile my guildie just tested casting shadow word death completely naked and it did 700 damage NON crit.

Garbage.

If warriors aren’t top or near-top DPS who the hell would want to play the class.

It’s completely miserable solo, has zero farming tools, loses all 1v1s and is literally useless in any world PvP event (which is apparently half of SoD). This is why warriors were balanced to be monsters with proper support… because they have nothing otherwise.

I keep saying it, but our main “Big ability” is one of the weakest going right now, I’ve had priest penance do 230 damage and my mortal strike hitting for as low as 240, it’s a joke.

For Chaos bolt to hit that hard I think the warlock needs to have Berserk buff, you stand in the lake of fire effect and also he casted an incinerate before. So that comes to 30% extra damage from Berserk and 75% more fire damage and at least ~230 spell power and probably curse of elements and berserker stance.

I’m not saying it can’t happen but that is a lot of lining up to do in the frenzy environment that is the PvP scene nowadays, he literally has to be stealthier than a freaking rogue to pull that off.

I am not sure what people expected really, lvl 40 chars are having lvl 60 prebis(or slightly better even) levels of spellpower and access to spells that even lvl 60’s didn’t. I don’t know how they would even fix it since while some abilities of those listed can be easy to perform… others do require some brain activity and risk taking to pull off and can be countered easily.

The game was just not made to have such strong abilities so early, there’s a reason these spells were obtained much later.

Dont forget to use your 89 damage Rend :slightly_smiling_face:

Why does your rend hit so hard? Mine does less than half of that.

If it makes you feel any better, its the same for Feral cats. There is simply no place in pvp.

If things stay the same, you “may” be still ok in organized pvp at 60, Feral will not change, it will just get worse and worse as the lvls go up.

So yes, some specs are totally useless in pvp, and others are melting. When you say that to the Devs their reply is that they are not interested in balance.

MECHANICAL creatures have double the armor of non mechanical creatures. its natural for physical classes to do poorly this phase, you should ask for pvp tuning instead.
we all know warriors will most likely be in a good spot in later phases anyways pve wise

its natural for physical classes to do poorly this phase
Melee hunters would like to have a couple words with you.

Anyway, war in this state, with the huge armor and nerfs placed on the class, even with full bis won’t reach the scaling you are talking about. That’s already simulated.

warriors are absolutely amazing. MS + Hamstring alone is enough. I cringe when we have no warrior in BG cause they are so good.

Besides, they will nerf Gnomer soon anyway, or the casuals and dads will cry.
