So I wondered what other fellow Warriors thought of the new changes in the beta build.
•Enrage is now a Tier 2 talent. Down from Tier 3. Changed to - Your melee hits have a 3/6/9% chance to Enrage you, giving you a 3/7/10% damage bonus for 12 sec.
This I was totally expecting and I'm honestly glad it was done. A lot of beta Warriors have been complaining their damage was bad and granting an Enrage based on damage taken, considering we won't take much unless they plan to add very heavy AOE intensive fights, was kinda silly.
•Die by the Sword (Tier 5) *New* - Increases your parry chance by 100% for 4/8 sec whenver you are brought to 20% health or less. This effect cannot occur more often than once every 2 min.
•Rude Interruption (Tier 2) *New* - Successfully interrupting a spell with Shield Bash or Pummel increases your damage by 5% for 30 sec/1 min.
Personally I think these abilities are pretty toss. I can see they want Fury to be able to PVP, but we pretty much have to take one of these to progress down the tree. Again though I was expecting something like this. They said they wanted talents that weren't all mandatory and I think Fury still had a lot. Still I didn't expect them to be this... crap.
•Unshackled Fury *New* - Increases the benefit of abilities that cause you to be enraged or consume an enrage effect by 80%.
I'm not quite sure what I make of this. I think it's probably going to have to be something I test first, before I can really pass a judgement on it, but if it works the way I expect it should be pretty nice.
Putting this in here cause it's cool.
•Colossus Smash *New* Battle / Berserker Stance - Smashes a target for weapon damage plus 120 and weakens their defenses, allowing your Mortal Strike, Heroic Strike, Bloodthirst and Overpower
to bypass their armor for 6 sec sec. / 30 Rage, 5 yd range, Instant, 20 sec cooldown
This I'm actually excited about. I can't however find any information on it in the Warrior section, like what level it's learned etc. I'm guessing it maybe the new 83 ability, but who knows. I think this has great potential if you manage to chain a Bloodthirst and Heroic Strike into the duration of the debuff.
I'm kinda disappointed that they removed talents like Armored to the Teeth and Fury in the Blood though. I really liked the look of Fury in the Blood and Armored to the Teeth was always pretty nice.
Anyone else's thoughts?
