still no change for survival set bonus? you don’t even manage to keep your word, it’s weird.

    • Protection
      • Developers’ notes: Our goal for these changes is to reduce Protection Warrior deaths to the dangers that are most likely to kill them, like burst or magic damage. There are some talents that warriors have for protection against these threats, like Disrupting Shout, Bolster, or Battle-Scarred Veteran, but it can be difficult to find the talent points for them. To provide more build flexibility we are reducing the power of the Battering Ram talent and moving its damage and defensive benefits into core abilities. We’re also increasing damage across the board and buffing some defensive talent options.

Okay for Fury what you should do is put the Mortal Strike and Cleave damage to 50% not 15%, Increase crit by 25% not 10%

And Crit strikes of said abilities buffs your damage by 40% for 6 seconds not 8% for 6 seconds

There fixed it
