High end classes postpatch 4.1.

[Zanex]

I've been wondering what other people might think will be viable in arena after patch 4.1 hits, I'm sure most would agree on a few classes who ATM is a lot better off than other, so I'm wondering if anyone's been looking at the patchnotes and predicted a switch in balance?



For those that haven't seen the updated patch notes are here: Patch 4.1 Public Test Realm Notes - April 8 - World of Warcraft



Now I'm sure we can all agree that mages will continue to dominate everything, but will there be any competitors?



Personally I like the way warriors are going, I think they might rise to a competative spot again.

Yeah i hope warriors get better but a GOOD warrior with a good dispelling healer - Priest/Shaman, can do quite well just need to be played perfect.

uh...idk about warriors man.

shield bash is being removed. cd on spell reflect being increased. intercept and charge (talented w/ juggernaut) only stun for 1.5 sec again...meaning if theres any lag or its a long charge they're unstunned before you get there (like in the old days)

a few slight buffs in there i guess but im not seeing a rise to being really competitive again, at least not yet

This patch is barely a buff for 70 warriors @85 its a pretty nasty nerf with cs being that much lower and since warriors have poor surviv atm having sr on a longer cd hurts that even more dont expect the class to be good again anytime soon cause its been quite a bit since warriors have been good at 70
