Noteable Prot Warrior Changes

[cinderblok]

per Blue Post on MMO-Champ today:

Rage generation from Shield Slam increased from 15 to 20. (Sword and Board continues to give 5 extra, so 25 now).
Reduced internal cooldown on Critical Block from Enrage from 5 sec to 3 sec.
Increased damage reduction from Defensive Stance from 15% to 25%.
Increased armor from Unwavering Sentinel from 10% to 25%.

Couple buffs to 19 Prot Warriors possibly incoming for MoP.

Noo! That means I can't take on a Prot warrior with my Prot pally without healing myself anymore >_<.

cool, but i dont like being restricted to one class spec ...

 

[Dagamela]

I can definitely understand your point there Zimt as I've seen your Arms/Fury video's Myself, I have mainly played as Prot FC for all of Cata and love these changes for my favorite spec.

if the changes come out it could bring the Prot warriors back out of hiding. (it seems most warriors in general are hiding still) But i think these changes are good and much needed. Its hard to throw a warrior into a Pug to FC when u can give it to a shammy or paladin with such good self heals..

I also agree some changes should be made to the other warrior specs. Being held down to 1 spec is no fun.

arms is so bad right guys, terrible spec no utility cant be used in team fights totally useless lets be honest here boys

 

[cinderblok]

no utility

Mortal Strike Debuff, Sunder Armor, Execute, Charge in combat interrupts/stun

I'd say they have utility, you just have to know when/where to use it to it's fullest.

100% agreeing with Cinder here.

Prot warriors are good, i love fc on mine, two charges and rocket jumps wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Rithonuwy]

i have yet to try arms but i wanna

 

[Balditron]

Btw, have some if not all of these changes already been hotfixed in? My Shield Slams are granting 20 rage and I'm pushing 2.7k armor in my FC set. Not sure about the 25% dmg reductiion in def stance but it does feel like I have been taking less damage.

Edit: Reason I am asking is because the tooltips haven't been updated.

Yeah it appears they pushed these changes to live
