Got a few new pieces today, ended up with some decent defensive stats and a good healthpool:





Things are starting to look better on the mp5 end too as a disc priest, with me being able to stay on par with other healers on mana, when suddenly:



With this burst having survived through several nerfs, including a TFB stack nerf, it's no longer a matter of "the stars aligning". It's becoming a playstyle where warriors are running around saving their cooldowns until they reach their desired stacks. It has nothing to do with "oh I have 3 stacks, lets see what I can do with it" but now it's rather "I dont have my stacks, I'll just tickle this healer until I have them".

My question is: Is it actually fun for warriors to be forced into playing this way because of poorly designed mechanics?

[Covlol]

No it is not, many of us warriors have been screaming for TFB revamp.

1. Every overpower has 100% chance to proc TFB, 30% chance to proc another overpower (this can be tweaked).
2. Keep stacks capped at 3.
3. TFB effects slam and not heroic strike.
4. Lower the bonus dmg of TFB to accommodate the lack of rng.


My dream changes to TFB, reduces burst while helping with sustained and makes slam valuable again.

Edit-
I made a post for these changes on the official forums. Please post your thoughts.

If I manage to get 3 I try to make use of it, but I don't play / count on them in any game.


I rather just do decent dmg all the time rather then 1 shot something, and vs good teams you can't really sit around "tickle" people and waiting for stacks you need to counter pressure.

Sadly that doesn't justify the dumb damage.........


Also it seems that the warrior popped his cooldowns before reaching you else Heroic Leap would never crit for such an amount.

Sorry for this Dividium, but I think that was the only option for us really to win versus a feral anyway.

No need to apologize, but I just don't think its fun gameplay for either of us.

@Baksteen Yes he was hitting feral as he popped cds, leaped me and swiftied my ass to narnia

No it's not. I rolled warrior because they had high consistent damage with a decent nuke back then. Not crap consistent dmg with a 6 min holy shit nuke.

Dunno why this qq is still there. With TBF nerfed to 1 stack. Warr, Dk, Feral and Ret even seem to do the same ammount of burst. With ferals being undisarmable.
