glad arms gets to add FOUR more buttons than fury does (slam, overpower, spearing strike, rend) :))) we need every duel wield melee to be "you have one button with a 6 second cD and all your talents are hit chance and off hand damage " I guessComment by Chillnkillincreasing the proc chance of Bloodthrill isn't going to fix warrior rage issues on top of all the cc everyone has now..Comment by BlainieRunes?Comment by PveMannoNerf all ability damage by 25% across the board, i think mobs are dying too fast and it doesn't really feel very Classic/Vanilla. Also make sure to keep shared mob tagging and faster respawns out of the game
Sincerely, a Retail player who isnt playing ForeverComment by drewwastakenRunes?Comment by CarlBarkerThe title is kind of bait. The low level ranks of the spells were adjusted, but overall the specs will preform the same after a certain level. Which for Lightning Bolt, is lv26. Leading the title with "Wrath and Lightning Bolt buffs" makes it sound like the spells were buffed across the board, which is bait because endgame tuning for these spells, and Ele in general, has been a hot topic.Comment by Dotnbolt30% nerf to prot pala what is this crazy talk here you buffing stupid warriors on top of having shield wall and reck bears insane armor and dodge..... just remove prot tree from paladins and thats it so we stop complaining or even just stop trying to play the gameComment by NagisaStreamsRunes?Comment by Nerohaetheres no freaking way they buff paladins and give nothing to fury warriors lul
