Having heroic leap was fun while it lasted.

[OscaR]

don't know why Heroic Leap got nerfed. It wasn't killing anyone and it was something to look forward to coming off cd in pve.

then you were doing something wrong. its wonderful. free rage..

leap away and charge back in

when did I say it's not wonderful? And you can just leap and do damage instead of leap to charge back in, pve that is.

[Sunnydee]

my bad missread haha. thought you wrote that it wasnt like you were looking forward for it to come off cd in pve
man 05 in the morning gets to u

[Gandrake]

still going to be doing it anyway regardless of glyph nerf

but nothing is set in stone

[skitzy129]

About time second wind becomes reasonable.

[Punisher069]

I hope the second wind change(not official yet) doesn't mess up my soloing

It will, because blizz wont bother changing it so it works differently in both PVE and PVP when it was only an issue in PVP. But even then it wasn't the whole issue. 3% healing plus damage reduction (via def stance and DBTS)

[cFortyfive]

Because it hit hard. Frankly there definitely should be some form of compensation as this should be easily a whole % of overall damage lost.

Shield Barrier is nerfed too.
The damages of both SS and Revenge are increased, though, so most solo should still be doable with a bit more tank gear and a bit less dps gear.
But yeah, some solo may be harder.

I should hurry up if I want to do my world first.

If it's for pve reasons, then again why? It's not like warriors need a pve nerf. There are many things that hit hard, you just don't nerf things because it hits hard.

[ohshift]

Talking about looks, the tier looks like a Mogu

Oh no I don't really think that it was nerfed because of pve although overlooking a couple of the changes to other classes I might think that they are as blind in that regard as in about everything else but I meant that it hit hard and was off the gcd and while the crying may have been not as loud anymore as it was about 2nd wind it was still rather prominent about warrior burst. I personally think that warriors are far away from being in true need of a pve nerf.

[pkm]

Heroic leap nerf?

Wut.

[TenebrusDH]

Heroic leap nerf?

Wut.

Blizzard said "Warriors are happy?? HA! Watch this!"

On the bright side:
+ slam hits harder
+ we always get two overpower charges after a Mortal Strike and we can pool up to 5 Overpower if we want to. This actually gives us a decent amount of burst versus other melees (due to not being able to be dodged/parried) without proper positioning or the need to stun our opponent to accomplish that.

Maybe i'll give Warbringer (pin + snare application) and Storm Bolt a second thought after all. And if you look closely at the other class changes we're not the only ones getting hit by the nerf bat.

Ps: i wonder what they'll do for Arms in PvE, it's the weakest specc right now ( http://simulationcraft.org/510/Raid_T14H.html ) and with TFB in it's current form gone it might get even worse.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Unless the fix up the Rage generation and how Warriors DPS...My Warrior is...shelved...

[Flaks]

Absolutely perfect changes all around and exactly what I was expecting for 5.1. It's a patch later but still all around great. They're managing to nerf us without gutting us. I never thought I'd see the day.

All other classes are getting hit by the nerf bat, especially feral. These changes are making it look like s6 all over again. We might well be on our way to the most balanced pvp season this game has ever seen.
