WARRIOR

Class Developer Notes

We’ve made some changes to stances; each specialization now only has one damage-based stance available to them. We might revisit this and their specific functionality later, but for now, we want players to have the intended experience when playing in the Beta and that is that Arms uses Battle Stance and Fury uses Berserker Stance and you can opt into defensive stance when you’re expecting heavy incoming damage.
There’s some under the hood changes related to auto-attack tuning that lead to the increases and reductions you’ll see.

Class Tree

Battle Stance is no longer available in the Fury class tree and Berserker Stance is no longer available in the Arms or Protection class trees.
Sidearm has been removed from the Fury tree and is now located in the class tree. There were too many talents in the Fury tree, and we feel this is a cool ability that all specs can make use of.
Fast Footwork now increases movement speed by 10% (was 5%).
New Talent: Uproar – Thunderous Roar’s cooldown is reduced by 30 seconds to better align it with various cooldowns.
Thunderous Roar’s direct damage reduced to 160% (was 175%).
Memory of a Tormented Warlord changed to the following – Activating Avatar or Colossus Smash casts Recklessness at reduced effectiveness.
Armored to the Teeth has changed position and is now 2 ranks. The Strength granted from Armor is up to 5% per rank (was 3%).
Shockwave and Thunderous Roar now have 110-degree cones (was 90 degrees) to allow for a little more error in targeting and to better align with visuals.
Ranks of Cruel Strikes for all specs should now work correctly.
All version of Sudden Death and Massacre have now returned to the specialization trees.
New Talent: Wrenching Impact – Heroic Leap pulls 5 random enemies within 15 yards to you. The cooldown of Heroic Leap will be increased in a future build to compensate for this powerful effect.
Berserker Stance – Auto attacks now deal 10% more damage (was 5%).
Reinforced Plates is now 1 rank and now increases Armor by 20% (was 15%).
Endurance Training is now 1 point and now grants 15% reduction to crowd-control effects.
Endurance Training Arms and Endurance Training Protection – Now also reduces the effectiveness of Sap, Fear and Incapacitate effects by 15%.
Endurance Training Fury – Now also reduces the effectiveness of movement impairing effects by 15%.

Arms Developer Notes

We’ve changed the pathing and location of various nodes so that Colossus Smash is located in the center of the tree to align with its importance to the Arms specialization.
Punishment - We’ve decided to remove Punishment as a talent. Execute damage can make up a very large portion of Arms specialization’s damage, which we like, want to maintain and want players to be able to choose! However, having your target in Execute range for 50% of the fight warps the original intent and identity of the ability. It also means Execute will need to be largely toned down and provide less general output than we’d like when it is intended to be used. When you press Execute, we want it to hit hard and feel good, we want you to see big numbers and even bigger crits, and some constraints here, such as removing Punishment will allow us to better deliver on that.
We’re feeling good about where Arms is at and we’ve seen people enjoying the playstyles throughout the Alpha and Beta, so our focus for Arms is now on tuning, bugs and minor changes.

Arms

Improved Sweeping Strikes removed.
Fatality was not providing enough damage output during testing, so now deals 200% damage per stack (was 100%).
Blunt Instruments no longer gives an additional benefit to Warbreaker as it is now part of a choice node with Warbreaker.
Gathering Storm renamed to Hurricane.
Exploiter should now be functioning correctly outside of the Shadowlands and has been reduced to 25% per stack (was 50%).
In for the Kill now increases your Haste by 10% and by 25% if the target is under 35% health.
Test of Might now grants 5% increased Strength for every 30 Rage spent (was 1% every 10 Rage).
Battlelord now also applies to Cleave.
Fatal Mark can now also be applied via Cleave.
Sharpened Blades now also applies to Cleave.
Exhilarating Blows now also applies to Cleave.
Rend caused by Blood and Thunder no longer increases stacks of Collateral Damage.
Moved Exploit the weakness to a later part of the tree where its power level is more in line with other talents.
Skullsplitter now generates 30 Rage.
With Storm of Swords talented Whirlwind’s cooldown is now reduced by your Haste.
Overpower’s damage reduced to 90% (was 97%).
Juggernaut now has a cap of 15 stacks.
Execute damage reduced to 220% (was 230%).
Arms auto attack damage reduced by 5%.
Battlelord chance to trigger reduced to 25% (was 30%) but the rage reduction applied to Mortal Strike has increased to 15 (was 10).
Critical Thinking now provides 5% Execute Critical Strike damage per rank (was 3%).

Fury Developer Notes

Titan’s Grip Fury builds are suffering a little from having more abilities than we’d like and are feeling a little bloated in comparison to other Fury and Arms builds.
With the above in mind, we’ve removed Siegebreaker and its follow-on node Deafening Crash. Historically this ability has not been well liked by players and has felt like a weaker version of Colossus Smash, it can also blur the identity and playstyles of Arms and Fury a little more than we’d like and removing it will allow us to put more power into Fury’s core abilities.
As mentioned previously we’re looking at opening Annihilator up to two-handed weapons.
The choice nodes for Odyn’s Fury and Ravager may see some more iteration.
Outside of the above-mentioned points, we are generally happy with where Fury is at and have seen people enjoying the updates to playstyle and abilities throughout the Alpha and Beta, in turn our focus for Fury will now be mostly on tuning, bugs and minor changes.

Fury

Removed Siegebreaker and Deafening Crash talents.
Unbridled Ferocity now has a 20% chance to trigger Recklessness (was 10%).
Frenzied Flurry is now 1 Rank and increases auto attack damage by 5% and your auto attack critical strikes have a 50% chance to enrage you.
Haste no longer reduces the cooldown of Odyn’s Fury.
New Talent: Dancing Blades – Odyn’s Fury increases your auto-attack speed by 50% for 10 seconds.
Gathering Storm renamed to Hurricane.
Cruelty is now 1 rank and increases damage by 15% and chance to reset the cooldown of Raging Blow by 30%.
Bloodborne now increases your Bleed damage by 30%.
Vicious contempt now increases damage dealt by Bloodthirst by 25% per rank (was 20%).
Cold Steel Hot Blood now deals 30% damage (was 20%).
Crushing Blow damage reduced to 90% for both main hand and offhand damage (was 94%).
Raging Blow damage reduced to 58% for both main hand and offhand damage (was 61%).
Meat Cleaver is now 1 rank and has 4 charges, deals 25% increased damage for Whirlwind.
Annihilator should correctly generate Rage from each rank of Swift Strikes.
Removed Wrath and Fury and replaced it with Massacre which is no longer present on the core tree.
Odyn’s Fury should now add to the duration if quickly cast within succession in line with other Bleed effects.
Odyn’s Fury’s periodic damage should now correctly be flagged as a Bleed effect.
Cruel Strikes now applies to Annihilator correctly.
Storm of Swords – Slam’s cooldown is now 12 seconds and damage increased by 200%. It also generates 20 Rage.

New Talent: Ashen Juggernaut – Execute increases the critical strike chance of Execute by 10% for 12 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.
Memory of a Tormented Titan should now trigger Odyn’s Fury without incurring its cooldown.
Fury should now only have 1 form of Execute in their spell book.

Protection Developer Notes

Protection will see a larger update next week and the week following.
We’ve made some quality-of-life changes to target cones to make them a little more forgiving and to better align with visuals.

Protection

Devastate should now be baseline at the specialization level and no longer require a talent point.
Removed Never Surrender and replaced it with Skull Banner.
Revenge has a 110-degree cone (was 90 degrees) to allow for a little more error in targeting and to better align with visuals.
New Talent: Storm of Steel – Ravager’s damage is reduced by 50% but it now has 2 charges.

Comment by XernathBring back dimensional rifts and decimating bolt for warlock class tree...Comment by KryonyxBlizzard forgot Demon Hunters again...Comment by AhrooNew Talent: Wrenching Impact – Heroic Leap pulls 5 random enemies within 15 yards to you. The cooldown of Heroic Leap will be increased in a future build to compensate for this powerful effect.

Say what? Can Prot Paladins get some cool new abilities too please?Comment by KioskaraRemoved spirit shell. . . Lol. . . Really?Comment by CeredathrusBlizzard forgot Demon Hunters again...Comment by NatakutdhWarlock changes, removing spell lock from base kit and changes to nether portal and its playstyle, make me glad im looking at other options. They are starting to resist player feedback again.Comment by Twax"Binding Shot’s root effect can now break from taking damage." rly Nimox ?Comment by Frostbite24Yall be complaining about every class not getting this or not getting that but frost dk tree completely neglected, breath of sindragosa completely forced, obliteration is in need of help, and glacial advance should be implemented with obliterates not a talent on its own.Comment by TovekHey look another post with 0 paladin feedback.
Paladin literally has the least amount of changes and feed back. Ret by far the least of ANY released spec. What's going on? Why are blizz ignoring all paladins so much?Comment by nihilheimfrost dk changes when though.. literally unchanged except for like singular nodes switching places since alpha :|Comment by paluchrobThese look exciting! I can't wait to hop in and test them out! I'm hyped to try warrior and Spriest. Love the focus of rotating mind blast and mindflay then keeping up dots.
Well done blizz!Comment by WowfeelsWhats up with warlocks lol..? Ya'll blizzard mfs make a huge stank about giving locks access to interrupt without felhunter, then you pull a SYKE! JUST KIDDING YALL! and now they're right back to basically requiring a felhunter at all times again. Nice. Knew your "new philosophy" was full of crap. That's just what you lead with, to get people to look at your shiny new dragonfart turd of an expansion. Then you implement all your ridiculously asinine changes right before it comes out. Not surprised by this behavior at all. It's the same old Blizzard strategy, that is backed by their insane belief that players, the people who shovel chunks of their banks accounts to blizzard every year, don't know anything about games or balancing said games. You had one chance to show people you changed. Instead, you took that chance to nerf soar. Remove our beloved covenant signature abilties, and 90% of all the class abilities. Take the fun out of the new engineering profession toys and render them nearly usless by giving them 24 hour to 4 hour cooldowns? You neglect paladins, frost dks. Probably feral by the end of this nightmare of a development. You do weird uncomfortable and unappreciated things to warlocks every week. What the hell is wrong with you? Ya'll straight blew it. People might still play your game, or come back even to play your precious dragonfart expansion, otherwise known as the expansion of new insanely long cooldowns? but no one but your hysterical fans, which is a minor population of your highest sub numbers, is ever going to trust you again, Blizzard.Comment by ApocalypseAPLooks like Blizzard don't care too much about making money.Comment by CentiasCtrl+F ... Paladin... Huh. Okay.

Holy is a complete travesty and should have seen at least a second draft by now, because the first draft was really rough, with a lot of useless nodes directly in the way of the most important things.
Class tree still needs a lot throughput node tuning, more defensive, mobility and utility options.
Prot still needs work, probably just needs holy power back on AS.
Ret still needs baseline Divine Protection a few nodes probably need to be buffed or moved around.
At the very least, they could have just done the quick rename for the brez, because the only logical name is Divine Intervention.Comment by Baroux12I find the Rogue's changes very bad.Comment by juress"Binding Shot’s root effect can now break from taking damage." rly Nimox ?Comment by SalaciousPeteWhats up with warlocks lol..?
