World of Warcraft: Forever

Dumb shower thought question. If prot pallies and ferals are being brought up to warrior tank levels and warrior dps is being brought down to the plebs… with their lack of additional utility, wtf do warriors bring to the table?

Who said warriors are being nerfed?

Is HOLYPMUS a good guild? How do I join?

In Forever, rage is normalized to no longer being generated based on the amount of damage you do or receive. It is a set amount of rage you generate based on each successful hit or getting hit (with talents in Prot to generate rage based on blocks, dodges and parries). Warriors are freaking out now that they have to manage their class resource like EVERY OTHER class in the game has to do.

Doesn't seem like the end of the world. There is a talent to increase the rage pool and there is a talent to generate 1 rage every 3 seconds on top of doing damage. Two different talents that add +hit (one main hand and one off hand). Talent that gives you a 60% chance to add more rage on a hit.

OK, so they aren't busted now. But, I doubt they struggle to do DPS.

They will need to tune rage generation some. Protection generates a ton more rage than Fury or Arms at the same level, for example.

We're level 20 and they haven't even gotten to the point in the Arms/Fury trees that really add to their rage generation. If Blizzard does much of ANYTHING based on level 20 dps, they really are brain dead.

1-20 alliance is so much smoother and better than 1-20 horde, so far. Human or dwarf, better quests, waaaay more money.

As Orc it took hours longer to get just to lvl 12 and zero money, compared to nearly a gold as alliance.

I can’t possibly Be doing Orc wrong after all these years?

I started a hunter sky elf whatever they are called. Way more streamlined than anyone else I think. Quests are very closed around the same area, completing all quests got me to 14 without any grinding. Many human mobs with drops of linen and the likes. Filled bags constantly with decent junk sales. AH and bank in the main quest hub area at level 5-6. No large runs for simple turn in quests. Left at 14 with max gear for my hunter crafted leather, bow and 2h from AH (hunters start with 2h which is way better than the night elf dagger). Quests kept giving upgrades for weapons, but still bought some greens and had nearly 2g when leaving having bought all skills and recepies i could find for fishing, cooking, leatherworking and class.

For comparison I started a new night elf hunter on the pvp realm and at 10 I have not bought anything except skills. Barely afford some leatherwork, dont have fishing as I didnt’t have a silver. Ran to AH to buy two 6 slot bags. On sky elf I bought 3 8 slots.

It evens out eventually, but for a start I think the sky elf area is way more fine tuned. At 14 you leave, go to Daleran where you get a free port to the portal room in SW and you’re ready for Westfall.
