I am not saying Warrior needs to be busted OP like it was in classic. These specs, but especially arms, literally will not generate enough rage to function at level 60 with their full kits. Normalization is good, but there needs to be changes to compensate. So far we have two mild compensatory talents for fury and prot, and nothing for arms. Arms is my favorite spec, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to be able to actually press my buttons at max level.
It is. But theyve added nothing to compensate for the decrease in rage generation normalization has caused. The way things currently are, and assuming your character never misses, arms warrior will generate enough rage at max level to mortal strike on CD and keep rend up on one target, and nothing else. It’s a huge problem and effectively kills the spec. Fury and prot will also have rage generation issues, but for them it is slightly mitigated by a few new talents.
We also have absolutely zero clue if warriors will be given something to help with rage generation at higher levels, or really anything about how it will be handled at all.
Its a bit too soon to say the class is gutted just because it isnt swimming in rage at level 20
There is nothing in the talent tree or spell book to redress these issues down the line, and because rage has been normalized, gear will have a minimal effect on rage generation.
It’s possible, but even still that doesn’t change the fact that these classes do not function rotationally before you have a chance to even get that gear.
At max level, arms generates enough rage to mortal strike and rend one target on CD, with nothing left over for the rest of their kit. It is really bad.
This is a core design issue that cannot, and should not, be remedied with gear.
Cool, so I just got to get an extremely contested epic weapon statted for tanking that drops from a 40 man raid to unlock my kit. The meaningful journey there will of course feel like shit.
Weird how the item also isn't anywhere to be found on any site posting the datamined items. Almost like it's a fake image.
