my experience as a warrior in WoD so far (Arms) has been pretty good... don't know how it compared to others, but I am generally able to be pretty reckless with minimal downtime
The 680 ring adds quite a bit, and there are 665 epics already floating around, though if you decide to wear it instead of selling it you are not a very smart person
i've never had a problem with warrior tanking ever in any xpac. i've always felt the lack of something like consecrate or captain america shield was an added level of challenge
and i've been doing just fine without Bladestorm. i mean, I'll use it, because it just makes it that much easier... but I started when there was nothing but thunder clap and demo shout. So I'm used to abuse.

and imagine popping one of those boe epics on a frost mage
Classes change patch to patch. Mages especially. I've played a mage since Classic and it's ping-ponged all around the different specs because the availability of certain stats or breakpoints varies. If someone drops the class entirely because one spec got hurt then they're throwing a hissyfit for no reason.
Hell, I love DW Frost for DK. My favorite spec in MoP because it was all nuts all the time and even if I couldn't put out as much raw DPS as some classes I loved playing this class so much that I excelled on the charts. When I found out that Frost for WoD, both versions, were going to be subpar while Unholy was the new top spec I swapped over and got to know it. DK is the class I love and I will roll whatever spec I need to keep playing one.
We get raids in 2 weeks. Relax, level some alts, play something else a bit.
It's dumb they didn't just open Highmaul now but you also leveled reeeeeeally fast.
I wish they'd reinstate the heirloom vendors they took out, with apexis as the cost or whatever
I wanna level my shaman as enhancement and I need weapons so like, since there isn't an agi hammer or axe in the pvp looms I'd have to do argent tournament dailies
In the time it takes to grind that weapon you could probably just level up.
Well by that I mean i just don't get them and don't really want to level with poor mans shit
Nobody actually should grind icecrown dailies im just saying it would be the only way which is silly when we have 2 new types of currency we could use to buy them
The consecrate that follows me around, it is literally the most amazing thing ever.
I like chucking concecrates with the other glyph. But I was a BrM tank in MoP, so I need those hot Dizzying Haze keg throws in some format.
Yeah that was what I used before. But being able to pick up mobs by running near them is way better than trying to situate my camera and click on the ground.

I'd count myself in as one more person who is instantly hating healing this xpac. I had gone in planning on sticking to heals as my main but there's "challenging" and then there's "out of mana every other trash pull." If people wonder why queues for dps are an hour right now, that's the main reason. It also doesn't help that so many pug tanks are still in the mindset of "pull everything between here and the boss, it will be fine."

I haven't done any of the 100 dungeons yet, but in Skyreach at least if DPS is doing their job on interrupts and tanks are pulling one group at a time I was able to keep my mana up.
The biggest thing is that dps need to learn to interrupt and to stay out of shit again.
I'm glad I've been doing the healer/tank combo with a friend or I might not be enjoying it as much.

??? is this at level 100? Can't say I'm there yet but so far the mid-90's dungeons I've tanked, the healer has been awash in mana and hasn't had to stop except for like quadruple pulls
The queues on Cho-Gall are defo tank bound, as I am pretty much insta-queue as Prot

Yeah level 100 dungeons, are very bursty to the point where you can't anticipate it and basically need to plunge heals all the time on the tank. I was popping cooldowns on trash, that's how hard they hit, even with CC and interrupts.
For instance the trash in the ner'zhul instance hits like a fucking truck and we had to pop lay on hands on a normal pull because the healer was having a hard time getting me back up after the large hits. And I'm sitting at 611 gear. Even with cooldowns.
This isn't even a heroic.
Shamans seem to have the easiest time so far.

I refuse to play Fury
Prot feels just as fine as it ever has been.
the metamorphosis is complete
i specifically did not list this one because it has a fast spawn time and the raid requirement just means i can do it in 7.0
he just quit because they ruined his class

Yup.
Tanking is fun again since Wrath.
Cata and Panda ruined tanking for me, it was so boring and required me to do way too much micromanaging of adds.
Wait....how is he 638 already? How is that physically possible when your best bet is like, 636 ish War-forged and maybe a few 640 Epics?
680 ring.

I mean look at hunters in pandas. They were awful dps at the beginning and in 2 years...
Wait
I feel like we're missing the obvious "everything is hunter gear" from BC and Vanilla that counter-acts that.
Plus they were amazing in Wrath.
well, with you dragging down the average
Steam Switch FC: 2799-7909-4852
Are you sure it was hunters and not just you
Well by that I mean i just don't get them and don't really want to level with poor mans shit

Unholy also apparently is better than feral but too late I'm comitted now
I like chucking concecrates with the other glyph. But I was a BrM tank in MoP, so I need those hot Dizzying Haze keg throws in some format.
I already have all of the important pieces of pvp gear including a 2 hander and I did it in like 3 hours total, if that
I also feel I've been putting in work myself but I dunno how much of that is me and how much of that is the randos I get grouped with
I will say that permanent terrorguard is gr8 as is it's constant laughter when I press any of my buttons that has petattack macro'd to it
It is disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

swoon
what set is this, are we talking about like... the full conquest gladiators set? or is it a different level
the only time I've ever been happy to be on cho'gall
Yeah that was what I used before. But being able to pick up mobs by running near them is way better than trying to situate my camera and click on the ground.
the 620/600 primal gladiator blues
my pants are item level 666 because they are warforged. Satan's pants.
Ashran on live where horde rarely gets to leave the base is not so much. Ogre King might as well be an alliance only mob.
i went there and killed a river monster once and left, after seeing zero other people
