Armor breaking animation is fine, but the weapons spawning and falling on each targets make no sense and is completely over the top. I prefered the old animation where the ground just shatters.

[@edgartoscano-jc1zv]

I agree the could improve the earthquake animations insteat of those random weapons i mean non sense hehehe, but yes i agree with you

[@otpkoles4081]

the random weapons falling looks awful like where do they even comefrom and if you dont run warbreaker its only 1 weapon its so bad , that was an ability that didnt need change....

[@edgartoscano-jc1zv]

@@otpkoles4081 yes dude maeby fixing and improving particles:/

[@otpkoles4081]

@@edgartoscano-jc1zv it should be a jump with an overhead slam maybe with thunder particles nothing more , not a blue ww with a random blue weapon that hits AWAY from the target 🤣

[@Nanomachinesson9094]

Warriors need bloodlust. They need to ŕework rallying cry. They need more utilities... or just make them the best dps in the game.

[@olschriff2921]

You are 10000000000000000% right! I've been saying this since SL... There has to be a reason to invite warriors into the group again, and unless you're a 0.1% player, there's no reason for anyone...! 😢

[@edgartoscano-jc1zv]

U right they could change that rallying cry for a lust instead of stamina or they could gave a mini burst buff for the party that u gave 15% extra damage for you and ur allies

[@meurumtrain4747]

@@edgartoscano-jc1zvI’ve always felt warriors should have a utility similar to bloodlust. Instead of haste they do a rage scream which increases damage up to 40%

[@edgartoscano-jc1zv]

@meurumtrain4747 yes but 40% its insane and gonna broke the game and u know nothing cant be stronger than mages shammans or pallas hahaha

[@xanscobe]

Rally still missing the down scaling for 5man content. And yeah bl and derage or remove bleeds could work as fitting utility

[@Byhythloh]

Warriors tuning philosophy should always be "Bring a warrior for the damage, because they bring 0 utility" As soon as warrior is not doing great damage, it is a dead class in the eyes of the community. Start of S1 Fury was so so so good, it felt amazing being a warrior, but they squashed that fun asap. Rerolled as soon as those nerfs came in.

[@vondry87]

Same. I actually did not plan to main warr in S1, but then I got baited by the initial good performance and then regreted that a lot. For S2 I won´t take any chances and will be rolling paladin, that will be OP no matter what.

[@CL-jq1xs]

that will never be the philosophy for any class balance. There will also always be a bottom class in terms of utility no matter how much utility you give every class unless all of it are homogenized.

[@Kevmoeman]

I swapped from warrior to shaman and my life significantly improved, the other players invite me to be in their group! I can do things to help my team! They should consider adding some useful spells to warrior so they get invited to groups, like maybe battle shout is 7% in non raid groups or something.

[@whaddad90]

Coming from a non-warrior player... Warriors need their own Bloodlust at minimum.

[@meurumtrain4747]

@@whaddad90bruh FR. A nice thing they should do is give parties a 10% damage buff by default.

[@stefanpekez9487]

Or they could rework warrior stances and make x% buff transfer over to the party.

[@meurumtrain4747]

@@stefanpekez9487 that’d be nice

[@driskull4249]

Swapping to enhance this patch has been such an eye opener of how far behind warrior feels in terms of identity when a class/spec gets constantly updated. Enhance just feels lightyears ahead of warrior (not only in damage but just how good it feels to play). Maybe bringing back frothing berserker from legion would fit more in line with the current warrior. That is if during Reckless Abandon ur kind of meant to overcap on fury before rampaging, it wouldn't feel TOO bad overcapping on fury if u got the buff for reaching 100 rage. Also that new warbreaker/colossus smash animation is fucking awful, especially warbreaker. The Icon for the ability literally shows us shattering the earth, why can't we get some cool little unique earthquake animation? Idk looks like im still just maining enhance lmao

[@liambeet9192]

I definitely prefer the older animations over the PTR versions. Nice video!

[@James_Johnson79]

How to fix Anger Management; drop it from the choice node and make it so you can double talent. Then cut down on number of CDs overall.

[@olschriff2921]

Would be a really good way! But blizz won´t get that happen sadly...

[@idiosyncraticRyugu]

I just love how basically EVERYONE doesn't like the animation changes.. it's not what a warrior is.. its a wizard.. with whats been happening to warrior this whole expansion, they need to fire the guys in charge. Prot getting ruined from what people enjoy, target cap bs because of bad raid design and now this shit done by the mage intern...

[@Rukaji77]

I just want my Sweeping Strikes animation back. Been bugged for months.

[@imtheonlyalvaro]

You know what? I very briefly read the description of the animations and immediately remembered the animation from Devastate in wotlk. I thought it was gonna be something like that, where the weapon actually breaks the armor itself. I would love for that specific animation to make it back into the game

[@Krispi7]

Hello Krispi/Fishy here, don't forget Walhe! mans been helping me a bunch :)

[@Ruab]

also, when are we getting an actual utility button? Are we ever going to get a blood lust or a battle rez? We have been lagging behind for a decade, how long do we have to wait for a real re-work to make us viable for 5 man's?

[@KingR13]

Blizzard finds new and imaginative ways to stomp on the warriors. They should either make a complete rework or just simply make the whirlwind cleave to hit all targets in 6-8 yards range for 30% with reduced dmg above 5 targets. P.S. : The only way to make AM viable is to bring back the old Unbridled Ferocity.

[@Manakuski]

I don't like the new warbreaker or colossus smash animations. I love the current jumpslam animation. The new one looks weak.

[@dylanrussell4158]

Could have made the warbreaker animation similar to Demolish (obviously faster because there's no cast time), then have the weapons go onto the target. Same thing as colossus smash. I mean the name of the ability is the same as the hero talent tree lol. I'm really hoping they take another look at colossus as well. It feels like they just gave up on it.

[@arenz9159]

imo sweeping strikes need to activate after cleave for X seconds, otherwise it is jst a dead global to press & having 4x Damage CDs feels tarded ( if macro them is the solution whats the point of 4 cds) AND they could REALLY go Crazy on Arms Warrior with those Channel Abilities like a Fully Charged Warbreake hitting bigger AoE n dmg - all specs feel a bit dated

[@scanGfu]

lol the new colossus smash/warbreaker effects are the ugliest shit I have ever seen :D

[@seijurohikko6382]

i understand what you mean by "where the hell comes these weapons from, and what are they for?"... The ground slam animation was super fine, add the armor break visual why not, but please nothing more on the ground... Imagine a raid situation with mass aoe, like ovinax... it is already very hard to see what's happening on the ground and see every puddles, imagine if there are those stupidly big and flashy visuals on top of everything... it would just make watching our feet a lot harder for no real reason... Yes we are warriors, yes we are small brained, but more flashy things isn't what we care about... we care about efficiency et visualy hard hitting abilities like the condemn animation wich is now the basic execute animation... nothing too fancy, but you FEEL the hit without over encumbering things on your screen. The sparkles are for all other classes. (but give us back our class hall and the way to exit it Kratos style... THAT was badass!!!)

[@Muhlum24]

Execute as prot feels like bait now bc of the reduced rage income and then they go and buff it to rub salt in the wound 😂 Edit: the armor break effect is fine, idk what they were thinking with the weapons lmao

[@Tsumetaiyoru]

I don’t like the warbreaker change. You’re a brutal warrior, not some weapon spawning wizard( that would be cool though).

[@vbocaj]

Imagine it’s more like an eruption evoker ability but attuned to be a warrior smashing the ground..

[@muse-less]

The cool thing about warrior in terms of fantasy is not using magic or anything like that in order to overcome adversity. The flashiness of the new warbreaker looks like something you'd see a Sentinel in WC3:TFT do. Really, really not great. CS is alright though. Hope the tuning works out. And I really just hope we get a true, honest to goodness rework one of these days. I remember in DF ret paladin was down bad. It got a rework which gave it always accessible and relevant utility, frequent cooldowns, and an adaptive tree which can do decent aoe and single target without sacrificing too much of either one. It is truly a jack of all trades, and it has lead to it being one of the most well-represented and popular specs in the game. It isn't rocket science to see the connection there. Hope blizzard makes similar effort with a proper warrior rework.

[@reviewdestages]

i got my sword and my shouts (although im not a fan of those) why do we need more magic

[@simonandreasson1345]

I would love to see AM baseline, it's already a pick for prot and arms, and it originally comes from fury talent tree. Either move AM to the warrior class tree or just make it baseline, i don't think it would be too much to ask

[@Arntor-kf9hi]

Old animations were way better, new ones really suck imo.

[@Ruab]

the high APM of prot wouldn't be a thing if they would just ...re-work ignore pain

[@aycssv9645]

I would prefer they improve on the previous warbreaker slam instead of forcing this new colossus animation onto warbreaker

[@raechu_01210]

What if they changed RA to be that during Reck, you get the current live RA? That way you are still incentivised to press Rampage during Reck as much as possible, to trigger RA. Would obviously need numbers tuning but just gameplay wise I think that would be fun and make the gameplay loop feel correct, right?

[@Powerfanta]

im normaly the guy that doesnt mind changes too much but the new animations do feel kinda weird.. warrior zugzug just summons some ethereal weapons now??

[@Undertaker257]

Its so stupid to the point that i dont wanna even play anymore xD

[@gala5000]

i will always say that rampage should hit like a truck you should always feel happy about being able to press it and the spec should revolve around that being your goal and execute needs to go back to legion style execute with a chance for free rampage procs

[@olschriff2921]

I want to play with AM again i hate these long CD`s... AM is so fun but they should make AM better! But i really love to see Warrior buffs! I was a bit scared...

[@Arntor-kf9hi]

Anger management is an easy fix, it isnt desirable because without Reckless Abandon fury cds are pretty mid, at best. Either make reckless abandon a baseline thing to juice up recledsness or find some other way to make recklessness desired again and then AM will be useful.

[@lSirCumference]

I think demolish is the most fun warrior build but the buildup is too long, the cast time is too long, and the buff time is too short so that it doesn't last between packs at times. It's not like it's a permanently scaling buff like the paladin 2 set, it's not going to break anything if the buff lasts say 30 seconds. Warrios do indeed bring the last to a 5 man group these days and as such I feel their dmg should be at least 5% higher than every other class. That still won't warrant bringing them to the mdi or make them met but what it will do is make the warrior community happy for the most part I think.

[@JavierBT90]

What will it take for Blizz to rework Warrior and give it utility?

[@mariusweiss8993]

if they add the wapons doing damage then it be okay. but like this, it looks wary strange. just give us back the spikes from legion.

[@frakerober9270]

Hopefully someone will change that like the DH hunt skill, that so bad, and with fps drops...

[@Smiding]

Is this a fury only channel?

[@TheRe9lay]

Fury vs enchancement season 2 m+? who win?

[@tirsom]

Knowing Blizzard, I know that buff won't last long! Blizzard hates warriors in DPS.

[@Terrados1337]

Execute on Fury has lower priority than logging into the game.

[@ermirshehu]

The weapon spawn i think shows the aoe of the ability

[@botondhavasi5505]

This new animation should be a crime and punished by court faster than light

[@WildWindwalkerMonk]

I’m not asking for Warriors to be gods. I just want to be decent man. I want to not be low on raid dps and I don’t want to be 3rd dps in keys man. Just make us normal man. Stop nerfing the shit out of warrior

[@Austin_Wynters]

Well... You arent the last on the dps meters by any means and not everyone can be 1st or 2nd on the dps charts. Someone HAS to be 3rd.

[@TheHockeyfn]

@@Austin_Wyntersthat’s fine, but make it a class that has utility who is in last place. Warriors bring no utility, so if we are not doing good damage, no one wants to bring us in keys.

[@okCool51]

@@Austin_Wynters thats why his comment is wrong, Warriors have to be an absolut unit, a god of dps. Why else bring a Warrior to any content?

[@powerplay074]

You are below ret paladin m8

[@WildWindwalkerMonk]

You used to bring a warrior for raw damage output. If we aren’t doing raw damage, nobody wants us. We bring little healing, and little buffs. We bring nothing in comparison. We need RAW damage to compete.

[@shaunybonny688]

That animation, yikes. Why not just use the aoe colossus smash animation from legion, just change the colors to get rid of the void/shadow-ness of it.

[@everybodylieshm]

Im glad for the changes but ill never not be salty about the target cap. Also still not a fan of using clap as fury but it's looking like I'll be going back to arms.
