Warrior back on the shelf in 5.2?

**Rucati** · 2013-01-28, 07:21 AM

I plan to, no sense in playing a terrible class. If the Warriors nerfs were the only change, it'd be fine, but with Rogues and Monks getting buffed so much I can say with 100% certainty that every team is going to just train the Warrior until they fall down, because Rogues every patch where Rogues are strong Warriors are garbage. Safe to say it will be the same thing here.

Already leveled my Rogue and Priest so I can play something viable next patch.

For me, it was when they made Charge and Intercept share cooldown just after Cata launched... That was horrible. Absolutely gutted the gameplay for me, and that was the first time I quit because of a nerf. I did come back in 4.3 and Arms in PvE was looking a lot healthier, but I have never really PvP'd since that change.

Love for my Warrior since '05, no matter what they do to it

Nah, the alterations can't be that bad, can they?

**DenniZ** · 2013-01-29, 08:33 AM

No way, personally I find it more satisfying to play a slightly underpowered character.

**Gandrake** · 2013-01-29, 08:43 AM

i would probably quit playing the game before i quit playing my warrior, but shockwave nerf effecting prot wars is testing the waters.

**Dald** · 2013-01-29, 08:45 AM

Yea but Shockwave is too damned strong in pvp. Something had to be done.

In PvP or in just arenas?
Its happened way too much that pve abilities for classes get nerfed because a few people complain about it been op.
Arena has pretty much ensured a strong PvE tool gets ruined because it's "op"

Hm, let's see. They don't have CDs on every single one of their attacks; more to the point, they actually have attacks that are off GCDs. They have great self-heals, mobility, burst that is not also bound to CDs, 100% DPS capacity at all times as opposed to having to maintain/refresh a vital buff every 30 secs.

I don't know, it sure as hell looks better than Ret Paladin. If anything i'm considering rerolling to a Warrior, alongside other options such as Rogue/Feral Druid.

It's not like I am actually expecting quality posts in these topics but ever heard of Colossus Smash ? In case you haven't it's that debuff you have to put on your target to do noteworthy damage outside of major cooldowns. Or that every other melee class has a 1 sec gcd to begin with expect for ret which scales with haste ? Not even going into the fact that heroic strike will deal something around autoattack damage after the next patch anyways.

I imagine the fotm crowd will go back to their rogues or reroll monk. I'll still enjoy playing my warrior though.

Dont forget Monk! They are rumoured to be OP in 5.2, so you might actually kill something in a bg!

Well i still will play Fury pvp not like it can get any worse than it it

just take DR instead of shockwave and we see how it goes. And since arms gets hit harder by nerfs i will win move arms vs fury meetings

**Anjerith** · 2013-01-30, 01:04 PM

The major problem for most players in regards to Warriors is that they want to KILL them, when the best thing you can do is to distract them to give you time to get away. You don't have to kill everything that breaths in game.

The incompetence will still be there, so no reason to stop playing as your warrior.

**inboundpaper** · 2013-01-30, 01:55 PM

No, probably will still be my only 90 to.

**Wishblade** · 2013-01-30, 02:01 PM

Hell no, I'll stay a warrior of the Darkspear Tribe till the day I get bored to death.

I agree with this fellow Dutch warrior.

**PezFTW** · 2013-01-31, 08:20 AM

**Solseka** · 2013-02-02, 12:30 AM
