What's the point of playing warrior in pvp solo shuffle?

Hello,
Im trying to figure something out as i fold like a crouton to every single pve rotation opening from mm, ret, ww monk, assa rogue, destro lock, surv hunt, devo evoker, ench shammy, arcane mage, did i misss anyone?
Forced to play defensive stance 90% of the time so thats 15 % perma dr + pvp gem thats 20 + the garbage ability called die by the sword which people disarm you and gg no more wall, not to mention the fact that my dmg is nowhere near close to any of this classes, and warrior is 100% dependent on a good team, while the rest just faceroll pve rotation and you die.
Why is this class like this ?

Warrior damage is ridiculous though? Almost impossible to kite them as well.

That’s a you problem. I 100-0 a ret today. Warrior damage is ridicolous.

Yeah, no.

I almost died in a stormbolt on my druid even though I used SI before it, just to the warrior.

Soo… all the Warriors in Solo Shuffle are all insanely good players making this weak class look good?

Well can’t link with right filter. Your class is the second most played dps above 1800. If Warrior would be struggle this much like your claim it wouldn’t be the case.

I’d argue that arms is top 5 melee in shuffle right now, and competes for 2nd to best melee below elite or so. It doesn’t really fall off until you meet casters that are cracked at their game.

Current solo shuffle stats say that arms warrior is the second most played spec above 1800 across EU and US regions, right behind ret pala. Above 2400 they are more middle of the field, but still well represented.

Outlaw, Enhancement and Feral are the melee specs that are currently in trouble.

Every post you do is about Rets… :thinking:
I bet you have a dart board with a picture of Rets on it… :joy:

Yeah there are a lot of us and we die like a piece of paper, i go for warriors when no casters or hunters also, so easy to kill…

And every post you make is something non related on pvp or arenas, are you interested of increasing your exp in pvp by learning something in here or in general wish to discuss something related pvp in this arena section. This thread is about arms warriors in shuffle according the topic.

It looks like the person you replied mentions ret paladin related to arms and youre reply to him were neither related arms or pvp or arenas. Now either you start keeping your replies pvp related in the threads or they start getting treated as spam. The post you cherry picked two word from went as follow and it was related the thread and arms unlike your reply to it:

Arms dmg is as high as ever and ms is doing its job. I feel like Retri, dh and probably ww too are just so overtuned now that some might think that war is not strong. I think if retri and dh get flat dmg nerf it will make more balanced meta for melee and otherwise everything stay as so far that double caster will be annoying to deal for arms etc. I’m playing in double DH, DH, Retri lobbys and the dmg of both dh and retri is just out of this world and never stops. Both dh and retri should gain nerf if we want more balanced melee meta.

Yeah those classes do high dmg all the time, ret has wings so often and high base dmg, played vs one last night that kited me with freedom and steed never stood in melee and melted me from caster range, dh is just constant huge dmg also, ww monk 20 sec cd i think parry with 90% slow and delete button, uh dk does a lot if dmg, and since its dk he wont die…
Listen i know im bad I’m newish to pvp but some things are very obviously wrong atm, and playing in to those every game is very frustrating

Ive been playing my Paladin since wrath and started playing middle of TBC… If you can teach me something im all ears…
Let just rap this up… We have 5 classes that can 1 shot people and because Paladin can stop this we are OP… We have gotten a damage buff due to the fact that we was lacking in both PvP and PvE and with our movement being handicapped, we have been brough to spec and equal… I know we got immunities and all, we have always had them… So I dont for the life of me understand why a class that hits decently and brought up to eveyones level an issue… End of the day, lets start storting out these 1 shots out, endless ccs out and mobility out and then we can start looking the lower end class and bringing them back up to speed… If Paladin is stopping this 1 shot with an abilitie that we had since Vanilla and that doesnt make us OP… No class should be 1 shotting, no class should have CC with little to no CD, a class shouldnt be able to move across the world with no CD… Your Druid class counters us and fighting a Paladin in low end gear doesnt also make us OP… We have LOADS of counters, more than other classes… Some reason because people have this dislike for Paladins, they want them nerfed… If you dont like a class then thats fine, dont break them because you dont like them because we can all come along and make threads about Druids being OP of which they are and we can all get that class eventualy nerfed… You are wasting peoples time by doing this… The classes that are 1 shotting should be nerfed… Likewise im done with these threads… Insulting people is a sign of defeat…
Im going to bed soon because im tired… good day and ps: dont bother replying to this, as I wont read it…

I was today years old when i learned that i can disarm die by the sword - the dmg reduction seems to stay intact, but no more parry tho.

the holy trinity of zugging that is ret dh and warr is back in action, the only reason arms is second is because ret is way overtuned and the moment ret gets nerfed you will see an even increasing number of arms.
if you look at the dmg arms already deals opressive dmg not to count the invisible effect of MS which you wont see in dmg meters… coupled with warr having crazy mobility its bound to ruin SS for most specs soon
