After warriors get nerfed....

[Piki]

Simple question but that may have a lot of different answers:
ATM i'm playing resto with a warrior on my 2s team, we're not doing half bad, managed to get 1800+ with around 70 games played.

My question here is, after the nerf bat hits my partner I wonder about the inpact it will have on his performance, and if it will have an inpact on the outcome of many matches.

Can anyone who's played on the PTR comment on this?

PS: Flame all you want for using Fotm setup and w/e, I just like to have the odds on my side

It will probably be a faceroll setup as long as wow exists, so you shouldnt worry about that.

Probably better to ask this on the Warrior forums rather than the Druid forums.

Indeed.


Welcome to the warrior forum.

I'm sorry but, since when are warriors getting nerfed? There have been nothing but buffs for Fury on this PTR. Unless you're talking about the HS nerf..? Which is easily countered by the BT, RB, and Slam buff.

You must not play arms. hehe

but yeah, he's talking about Arms. And yes, arms is getting nerfed by a fairly decent amount. Although they are getting some small buffs. The main thing that you'll need to deal with is (if he's a good warrior) not being able to use intercept anymore. You have no need to go find a new partner though, warriors are still incredibly viable.

Well, Arms mobility got hit with a bat, kicked on the ground and spit on. Could be what he's talking about.

on low ratings.. i don't see how warriors will be capable of not becoming the new dummy in arena.. unable to chase anyone at all.. not even melees

[asb]

Charge now shares diminishing returns with stun effects.
Juggernaut...now causes Charge and Intercept to share a cooldown.

I assume it's mostly the mobility he's talking about.

Uhm, hamstring, charge, heroic leap...why would you not be able to chase? Plus, im pretty sure whatever partner you have he will help you stick to your target too. Its a nerf yes, but it wont turn you into a dummy, unless you click like one.

crippling 20% more than harmstring and becoming a 8 sec debuff, heroic leap being completely unreliable because of path mechanics.. and charge being ur first and only gap closer.
maybe u think anyone will let u get close without charging ? that's not gonna happen on 2k+ rating arenas.

[Spondoo]

Heres the solution: Reroll DK

If he's deadset with the warrior class go Fury.

And if he's a masochist, he'll stay Arms.

[knusern]

Charge DR'ing with itself, making everyone immune to it. Piercing howl removed from DoW, it now costs rage. demo shout no longer removes stealth. removal of intercept. Heroic strike nerfed, GL using slam (tried it, and yeah, it's complete rubbish if targets are not slowed to at least 40-30% of normal speed). Slam is in the GCD, is casted and bugs a lot. Hamstring - worst root of all. Compare them all.

We use bladestorm to break roots. Guess we have throwdown, on DR that is. (immune anyone?).
Imp. hamstring best thing arms have now, which is also shit. 3 secs to apply(with unrealistic 0 latency), melee range, can be dodged, blocked and parried, TWICE.

give warriors perma-freedom and we're good. Other than that? Dead at high ratings.

If you're opening with a charge you're doing it wrong.

[JayJay09]

If you're opening with a charge you're doing it wrong.

So opening with running towards the oponent is win? Or heroic leap to him? Charge is the only opener. If you don't open with that you don't open at all. Warriors got it in the face. Hard.

Reminds me of Hoodrych.

It was at some tourney, I don't remember if it was Blizz/ESL/MLG, but he named his warrior Icantmove.

Absolutely hilarious.

[Gatsu]

2v2 will be pretty annoying imho (and it is now too), keeping Hamstring up will be a pain

the only way to have fun with it (fun, yeah, cause its useless for rating/title/weapon) is to play double dps

TL;DR: play with a DK in 3s

How do you suggest you get near an opponent?
