The problem is as we progress to 60 we are now forced to add more buttons.

This is directly from the guys who normally post all the optimal specs for warriors when it comes to builds..top guild kind of guys. The guys the devs listen too
First off:
We now require Karull Alert to dps. This only affected mages before
2nd: We go from a 4-5 button rotation to this
3. We are constantly starved for power now. Even spec'n for power abilities is useless. You are running on dry after 4-5 rotations
4th: Every warrior in the game right now is rolling around with a 2 hander. Only build that looks even remotely viable after 1.11 launches is Paragon lol
Atrius literally took a years worth of work and threw it all out. We have zero balance and harmony between the souls anymore. Then add on the fact Atrius has been completely AFK and is ignoring player concerns.
Kevrick is actively talking with Mages right now
Zinbik is actively posting in the cleric thread
Alion has been AFK from the forums for months. I am not even sure he understands English
Atrius is gone. We have no idea what the motivation or the direction of this class is.
These changes go live next week and I expect a VERY VERY large amount of warriors to re roll. This shit is fine for ranged classes, but try these 10 button+ rotations on Ituziel in ID and tell me how that works.
If I were a raid leader I would warn my warrior to re roll now because this is not a quick fix and will affect progression. I will grind my warrior to 60 and then shelve him until they fire Atrius or he figures out how to fix this mess he created.
Trion needs to start holding these devs accountable. When it is clear as day which devs are doing their job and which ones are pretending like only their opinion matters then you have an issue. Warrior soul has been a roller coaster since 1.0 when this game launched and when we finally get some stability it gets utterly destroyed.
This is why I barely gave feedback regarding class changes in BETA because Atrius simply does not listen. He does whatever he wants and we have to deal with it and managed to play this class.
