Well. The game is not only about warriors, but the whole SHM. I just returned to play the game (I'm playing a warr for 10 years or so with pauses and such + retail and BfA sh*t). I played on old AT (7-8 years back), reached for 2.2k rate with a warr + shaman combo. Yes. That's not much. Even it was a new season.
At this moment, I am impressed that many players are hard-stuck low-elo players with SHM. I've got around 1660 rate, yet. I can see SHM everywhere. BGs are filled with people holding that. Warrs, palas, dks. The item was meant to be hold by only a few players. SHM issue kept me away from this server, because of those stupid arenas with people running around and smashing everything, because of that broken item. Unfortunately, this is the most populated pvp server. (even i tried other private servers, can't wait for wotlk-retail)
SHM should be disabled in arenas. Then you would reach for much healthier stats. Even Oathbinder still exists, so it's a good item for warrs, if there will be no SHM.
