WotLK Problems of Warrior.

[monkex]

Hello Guys. So after a year of inactivity in world of warcraft, i decided to come back in WOTLK. Mainly i played cata/mop for years (bit of Wotlk untill that but not warrior) so i played years with warrior class and i always liked it, but when i played few duels and stuff on Wotlk with arms warrior its like Hell for me:
- Low mobility was always a problem for warrior but in the later versions of WoW it was getting better and better, but in Wotlk it seems like HELL. i cant Stay on the target even tho we have 2 Charges ( Charge and Intercept)
- Surviveability. Its not awfull but its not that great either, Shield Wall, Enraged Regen and thats it if im not mistaking. You will get Blown up by a Ranged Class like mage or Hunter. That does not even matter for paladins that much and You probably wont be able to pop that when dueling a Rogue.
- Lack of CC. We dont even have a good CC on warriors, only thing we can use normaly is probably hamstring/piercing howl and the fear, they can dispell the fear very easily and Intercept/charge stun is not even that good. Paladins can even become immune to snares with Hand of Freedom.
- Rage. I always become Rage starved in the game which is probably my fault because i dont remember how to manage Rage well but still majority of classes dont even think about losing there resource during the Battle.
So like i said its very hard to play with the warrior in Wotlk. I just came back a few days ago and its very hard dancing around stances trying to survive trying to be on the target and plus try to do a good amount of damage aswell. I think the majority of Classes have the upperhand Versus Warriors. Tell me if im saying something Wrong but this was never a Problem for me but im starting to Feel it in WOTLK.
So i want to ask you guys, Should i reroll or stay on the warrior? is mastering a warrior still worth doing it or should i just go and pick up another class? i want your opinion about this. Is Warrior good in PvP? I like this class im kinda heartbroken that everything is in this way.
So what class/spec Should i role? Or should i stay on the warrior and try to Master it in the way of Wotlk? Thanks for Reading it, and tell me if im saying something Wrong.

shield block is another good defensive cD

warrios dont have cc/utility like other classes do, they only have damage

warriors in wotlk needs to be spam dispelled in order to do something


i dont know which server you are talking about

i always used to play warrior but decided to roll other class on lordareon, because warriors are only good in 2v2 arena and only thing this class do is damage

i actually dont understand people who only play arms warrior on wotlk for years and didnt get bored already

Talking about duel situation, since we are playing this expansion for more than six years, it's quite obvious that almost everyone has learned how to beat an arms warrior while playing another class. I think that we have suffered more during the cataclysm expansion that on the last wotlk patch. At least we still have the chance to use intercept, charge and spell reflection haven't got both insane cds and our defensive abilities, with the proper gear, can still save us in some critical situation. If you are ragestarving so much I suggest you to not spam heroic strike unless you have your rage bar almost full. On wotlk this ability share the same cool down of our withe attacks and it adds only a limited amount of damage. I guess you should read some arms pvp guide to understand what you are doing wrong with your warrior.

By the way do arms warriors use Slam? and in which situations i must stay in berserker stance and etc...

never use slam

You always want to be in battle stance so you can use rend/overpower

berserker stance only to pummel or whirlwind (vs mirror images for example) and reck

deffensive stance only to activate shield block/shield wall and use revenge with shield block up,
or when you cant reach the target/nova and you are going to take lot of damage you can swap to defensive stance to get 10% dmg reduction

Slam should not be used in pvp because on wotlk you can't cast it while moving. You should use berserker stance only to activate Recklessness and when you need to intercept your target because it increases the damage taken. The defensive stance is really helpful everytime you need to decrease the damage taken and not only when you activate your defensive cooldowns. Remember that, thanks to the Unrelenting Assault talent, you can keep dealing a lot of damage trough Revenge even if you are sitting in def stance and you have your shield equipped. Even Rend and Mortal Strike can be applied while you are in def stance. Use thunder clap and demoralizing shout to decrease even more the damage taken from other mdps. Everything may turn useful when you need to survive.
