    obvious Aspect changes, still wondering why they put them on GCD with the 5.0.4

    And the ret pally nerfs keep coming from Blizzard... I guess they're looking at the spreadsheets upsidedown.

    Yes you need a lot of dps logs to nerf pvp mobility

    I know the Simcraft results aren't perfect right now, but as far as I could tell, Frost was doing more damage than most specs in the game, and... damage is increased?

    I think i love the new Blade Flurry

    Item - Warrior PvP Set 4P Bonus - Increases your speed by 70% for 3 sec after using Heroic Leap. This replaces the old Item - Warrior PvP Set 4P Bonus.
    Well while I am sad that they changed it, I am glad it wasn't after it was put on live and had to adjust with them taking it away.

    With HR on a 30 sec cooldown and double time / Juggernaut PVP mobility is just fine, add to that Avatar and Bladestorm I think it will be just fine. As for the stun reduction on DR, meh, the damage wasn't changed so I can live with it as well. Shockwave is still the superior talent regardless unless you want some lulz.

    this is a huge nerf period-no denying that.warriors are still lacking in the grip department.no root on HS and TD is gone-if you take MS over safeguard you sit in roots-even more so then before.
