Dakkroth (on shaman) gets hit by a 300k heroic strike oneshot (video)

[Kraenen]

oooooooook............I don't know what to say for real.

Sounds like level 60 shaman WF.

exactly! this brings me back to the good ole days of vanilla

Everyone should just roll warriors.

[Hand Banana]

So according to this thread I should:

Not use heroic strike if I have 1 stack or more.
Not blow reck/avatar or ANY cds unless I have a 5stack.

Yea no. Not once I have gotten a 5stack in an arena where I have cds outside of maybe trinket to blow. You cant sit on your cds all game against most teams. You also cant sit on your rage and not HS much or your damage will be awful. If your entire intent is to pool stacks/rage for TfB your not going to do very well.

[Pua]

Nakatoir's responses to the warrior thread have been mind numbingly retarded.

Luckily he finally conceded the point and they ARE nerfing TfB. I'm still of the camp that the ability should simply never have existed. We need increases to the warrior skill cap, not to the skill floor with ridiculous rng.

I love their argument that "OH JUST WATCH THE STACKS LOLOLOL". Because having your entire team coordinate around a single classes' RNG is clearly stellar game design.

They haven't got a fucking clue. Not. One. Clue.

Ghost Crawler states that it will be harder to get TFB stacks and that the Mobility nerf to Avatar fixes that issue in the next patch. Mages can kill you in 4-5 seconds whenever a chain cc starts.

[zito]

Warriors doing insane damage at the start of an expansion?

What else is new?

But having those things happen quickly in an arena (Rng whatever) and winning instantly is stupid and needed changing.

Its just as stupid as destro warlocks in wrath i they got a Chaos Bolt Crit + Conflag Crit, that killed almost everyone instantly.

It's starting already. Cataclysm all over again.

Nerfing everything but what really needs nerfing just to bring warriors line.

Avatar change: hmmmm, alright though it doesn't effect cd stacking burst AT ALL.
TfB change: it only took 1 trillion posts where they were blindly defending the ability on the most retarded premise for them to nerf it.
Gag order change: warriors had been saying since early beta that silence on pummel was fucking stupid. Instead, they removed the glyph from pvp entirely.

Mages are actually in the same boat. Blizzard is nerfing everything but what needs to be nerfed. All frost needs is a gutting of frost bomb damage as well as mastery and reallocating that damage in a more spread out though sustained form.

We seem to be on the same page a little too often.

I think it's time to get into a time machine...if you know what I mean.

[Strah]

Yeah, it's pretty funny.

Warrior damage too high? lets nerf their control and mobility!
Mage damage too high? lets nerf their control!
Monk survivability is shit? lets buff their mobility!


Rather than listening to the input of experienced players who do hundreds of matches every day they decide to make their own changes according to how well their own team performs, which i'm pretty sure is full of bad players.

There has been alot of arguments in this thread that this is rare. If it's soo rare how come there's a new video showing pretty much the same thing every day?

No class in this game should be able to have any ability that one shots an opponent. None. Zero. Ziltch. No matter whether it takes 2 seconds to setup or 5minutes.

The fact that Greg Street has tried to say this is how warriors are supposed to work is pretty laughable. Good old Blizz.

[dpeace]

Tosan also has a video of ridiculous heroic strike crits.

Edit: which has been posted before. Twice.

"Working as intended"

[Deleted]

not a war but funny how blizzard deals with the problem,by nerfing avatar.
so theres a problem with this abilty so they're gonna nerf this other fun ability?typical blizzard bs

[jeremynative]

pathetic blizzard doesnt know anything about pvp

[Machomaije]

Ghostcrawler - We dont think Warrior burst is out of control.

Thx Ghostcrawler for alays making me laugh.

[Manataurus]

it tooked him like 20 seconds.. what are you talking about???

It happened in the first 20 sec of the video but we don't know how long the fight was going on beforehand. Also, it was obvious that the warrior was beating on somebody else's face before attacking the shaman.

[nyc81991]

Have you any clue how long it takes and how much luck you have to have to build up enough for Heroic Strike to hit remotely that hard? Terribly misrepresentation. A warrior's not just going to pop his cooldowns at the start and immediately hit a Heroic Strike for that hard.

Heroic Strike is NOT the source of Warrior Imbalance.

How many other classes can one shot someone? Even with luck in mind?

That ability has no place in pvp.

[Tsuna]

Everyone should just roll warriors.

If everyone is Overpowered. No one will be...

[Mormolyce]

If everyone is Overpowered. No one will be...

Wooo balance!

[Yoshimiko]

If everyone is Overpowered. No one will be...

Wrath mindset here.

[Nyaldee]

Atm as a warrior player i'm really afraid that Blizz will nerf the hell out of class utility features. Dunno how devs even dare to post that our burst is more in-line then hunters, even thought so many videos and simple calculations show obscene dmg in rediculously small time window. Blizz is too slow to react with PvP balancing seriously, or they're doing it intentionally since i've no clue how the let rogues/shams ride easy mode through 2 season in cata. And worst of all is that instead of minor weekly adjusments we'll see another large sweep that'll simply shift imbalance from one class to another.
