I am sick of it. Sick of what you ask? Sick of Warriors being the very last thing on Blizzards, GCs and developers minds.
Thanks to the ArP nerf my passive ArP just dropped from about 65.5% passsive ArP to 58%, about 7.5%. The only way as it stand for me to come to make up most of that will be to get 2 pieces of the T9 set with the +6% ArP bonus in Battle Stance. Once again a buff on gear followed by a nerf with the same stat. And whats worse is that i was getting +10% ArP in Battle Stance.
So basically in Battle Stance now, instead of that extra 10% it becomes 2.5%. All while the Arms tree is VERY underpar in raids(as GC has noted), but instead of complementing the Arms tree with some sort of relief, there is none in sight. There is still no threat reduction in the Arms tree as well, like the fury tree. Charge still doesnt work properly, Bladestorm still doesnt work half the time i am rooted in the BGs and i still suffer debuff effects.
Thats just the half of it. It also effects us in PVP, where warriors are hurting the WORST due to less mitigation, no mana/magic abilities, the least amount of utility and survivability. We have only ONE way to do damage and that is melee...meanwhile DKs for example get BUILT IN Mitigation from my attacks, so this ArP nerf just made it harder for me to do damage with my abilities against them, not to mention all the ways a DPS Pally can survive with ease against me.
Lastly, besides hit and expertise, ArP was the only stat left to stack as Haste does not scale with my gear...so ALL that Haste gear that DKs keep picking up is still good for them, but ALL the Arp on the rest of the gear just got a big kick in the nuts.
I would request a GC response please about your intentions about the warrior class because with each patch it has become obvious that you simply don't care. If you wish to react to that accusation then i await a rebuttal with proof that my statement is utterly false.
