Warriors are OP? at what?

Q u o t e:


Where are people comeing up with stuff like this? i mean really just cause YOUR ret pally suck does not mean ALL ret pallies suck.

ret pallies are xtremely strong in arena if you have the right set up, and ret pallies can stilll burst a target down in a matter of a few gcd in 3v3.

If you are talking about 1v1 then yes ret pallies suck, if you are talking about 3v3 or 5v5 then i will have to say that just YOUR ret pally suck.


No. I'm at 2k+

Any team with a ret paladin would be higher rated with another spec/class in the ret's slot.

same can be said with warlocks, enhance shamans, fearal druids, hunters, ect. ect. ect.


This, actually. Ret is fine really, some non-damage buffs aren't at all out of line, but yeah.

As for the discussion of the thread? Warriors are only as powerful as their healers: Resilience change and unkillable healers=strong warriors. Gasp.

You're completely backwards here. Ret is strong in most 1v1s, and weak in all levels of arena play.

Q u o t e:


We all know this, and I can only assume blizzard knows this. So what I don't understand is why wars got such huge buffs right before a new gearset was released. Now two sets later and they still have those changes along with being better from their insane scaling.


Because warriors actually were having problems staying on target and putting out pressure in arenas.

before the changes Warriors were caught in a paradox of needing to shift to berserker stance for pummel, but Overpower and Rend being Battlestance only. We were also having problems getting into melee range because Intercept was the only distance closer we had, and a vast majority of the casters got new kiting abilities and skills.

We wanted Charge inc and pummel. we got Charge in combat (which got nerfed to +5 seconds) and a psudo interrupt that hurts Healers more than it hurts damage casters.

Our damage has only recently become very good (with ArP, perhaps too good) because of the great gear available now. We scale better than others with gear because of the current rage mechanics.

Because rolling one class to Tank, Heal or DPS would be way to easy.

Q u o t e:
I said it earlier when WOTLK was young.

Warriors are as powerful as the gear available is. As gear gets stronger the class gets stronger.


Because there weren't changes to...

Charge (Via Juggenaut)
Overpower (Via Taste For Blood and Unrelenting Assualt)
Buff to ArP (Even after the most recent nerf)
Battle Stance (Actually having a benefit)
Nerf to Dk's and Rets (Classes that where outshining us)
An overall nerf to burst damage

The quote that we got stronger as gear got better, is untrue. All classes scale with better gear. We simply received the buffs in order to help us with this expansion.

Q u o t e:
Wheres the math that warriors "scale insanely."

Rage scaling was the problem in BC, in wotlk PvP rage bars have been full at all times since s5. The problem is the buffs they got, it's nothing to do with "scaling."


List them, really list the buffs we got.
And the Nerfs.

I can't imagine there are any remaining issues to discuss in the very dead, dead horse that is the Titan's Grip discussion. We like the way it works.

Q u o t e:


No it isn't the buffs cause the same issue was present toward the ned of s3 and all throught s4, it is a scaleing issue. in s5 they where weak but they got stronger as the gear got stronger not thier buffs.


No warriors should not have a 75% ms with the amount of dmg that they put out now. but then again this is world of warcraft player vs player, so there is no such thing as a middle ground for talents and abilities. As long as raiding and pvp talents share the same tool tip pvp will never be balanced and pve will always take massive nerfs so that 1 move will not be op in pvp.

We were nonexistant in S5. We were fixed. Our arena rep has remained pretty steady since, despite our "retarded scaling"

Yep, but isn't this a post about Warriors. This is kind of how it always has been. Retribution has never been a top Paladin spec. Never will be. It will however always be a strong 1v1 spec. Not that any of that matters. Feral is a strong 1v1 spec, look at how it is doing in arena.

The only one of those buffs that was overkill was the spellpower debuff on UA.....well that and the overnerfing DK's got.

Arms was a completely dead spec in WoTLK before those buffs.

The solution to making warriors scale more appropriately with gear (instead of being bad at first and good later) is to normalize rage more. That's an answer that a lot of warriors hate hearing, which is one of the reasons we haven't done it yet. For many warriors, rage is a limitation to be overcome with enough gear. That's not really our vision of the class though.

Or.....Warrior buffs in LK have been in the typical power creep fashion.

Exhibit a) Warriors in an acceptable spot in 3.0

b) DK released, stupidly overpowered.

c) Oh noes Warriors haven't changed but suck now.

d) DK's get nerfed, Warriors buffed when really DKs were just too goodl.

e) This thread gets created.
