Warriors losing hamstring?

[Kigatsuyaa]

Oh sorry heroic strike ^^ My bad

As prot what spells do you get?

I wanna say arms but without the utility it may drive me crazy

 

[Rivfader]

there really isnt any warrior utility anymore, SS isn't really a great way to dispel, you sacrifice a lot of damage for piercing howl. MS is still pretty great utility though, just no more disarms, interrupts, or spamstringing.

 

[Kigatsuyaa]

Yea I want to say go arms but atleast piercing howl has some utility haha...and maybe 2s may work but even then it seems like some slowing must be there haha so seems very complicated right now but I'd highly perfer NOT to remake a twink haha

 

[Nutrun]

It wont matter that Warriors wont have Hamstring when we all reroll Worgen and racial sprint after targets instead of slowing them.

 

[Kigatsuyaa]

Oh haha I've never heard of that before Is worgen horde or alliance?

 

[plobb]

You gotta be a troll! Btw a sprint every 2-3 mins doesn't go anywhere near compensating for the loss of hamstring. A nice racial yes but no substitute.

 

[Kigatsuyaa]

Me? Troll? Nope But yea Plobb is right it doesn't make up for it even though its nice! And btw I know its ally haha

I think the only VIABLE spec in keeping warriors alive is to go fury cause piercing howl is an amazing substitute for hamstring imo

 

[random]

Why do you feel the need to write haha in every post?

 

[Kigatsuyaa]

IDK I'm a very....idk even how to put it, cata just makes me ancy

 

[Nutrun]

=) I wasn't really being serious, but Worgen do have awesome racials. I'm probably going to go Prot tbh. http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#LZZhbz . +15% Stam as passive, and Shield Slam doing 'teh phat DSPzorz' with a dispel mechanic.

 

[Kigatsuyaa]

Yea prot with cruelbarb + redbeard for most dmg?

 

[Kigatsuyaa]

And I think that cuncussion blow I think we may get that at 19 ...although we lose that one spell that slams the target and dazes them :*(

 

[Rivfader]

Think of fury as being a CC Mage, you can slow a ton of stuff but you're not killing anything.

 

[Nutrun]

At least Fury gives the option to swap to Sword n' Board if needed in an arena or something. (Granted, not a valid reason to spec it though.)

 

[Rivfader]

You can swap to SnB as arms too >.>



I see fury as being a SnB spec that gears for stam and spec for survivability just so they can run around and spam piercing howl because it's damage is about half of arms and 1/3 of prot.

 

[Nutrun]

Yeah actually, SnB works better for Arms then Fury...



Screw Fury.

 

[Kigatsuyaa]

Yea I'ma try prot though cause it does tons of damage and tell me if I'm wrong, but we get cuncussion blow which is pretty hott

 

[Kigatsuyaa]

And I agree fury is just surviviability with that and the healing on BT...and I'm assuming BT doesn't do much dmg haha

 

[Nutrun]

We don't get Concussion Blow by 19 in Beta or Live. Prot in live though is (or certainly was when I last managed to use my twink) pretty decent. The World of Warcraft Armory - Nutrun @ Hellscream - Talents <- that's the spec I rolled. High damage on Rend and Thunder Clap means you can pretty much remove the annoying Heroic Strike with it's 'on next hit' system. Ofc though you'd still use HS as a rage dump. Due to 5/5 Shield Spec when you use Shield Block you gain insane amounts of rage allowing you to unleash massive damage with HS + Revenge and Disarm the opponent (only after Shield Block runs out though!).



If you want to use Prot more often it's probably worth investing in a 2nd Redbeard's Crest with a shield spike on it when you drop 70 hp or more and when using Shield Block.

 

[Kigatsuyaa]

Yea but didn't they get rid of disarm in cata? What spells WILL prot even get in cata?
