Also after tanking for 3 months at least for me agro wasn't a problem as it was survivability.<br /><br />As for your argument on how losing the 2nd interrupt and reflect would effect PvP, I cannot count the times the PvP changes have effected PvE Warriors. But they could change this to make it like charge where you have 2 uses with CDs.Sundevilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616638044100909252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910701609800539268.post-39579783161398922842013-08-22T03:48:21.006-07:002013-08-22T03:48:21.006-07:00Generally, well thought-out ideas, but as a season...Generally, well thought-out ideas, but as a seasoned warrior I do not fully agree.<br /><br />Especially PvPers won't appreciate taking away the "2 interrupts in a row" - although for PvE, your idea would be acceptable. The same applies to spell reflection.<br /><br />As for war banner, I honestly do not understand your problem. It is true you have a ribbon spell in the book, but if you drag it out and unfold, you can drag individual banners out of the ribbon and place it separately on the bars if you please. As a matter of fact, I do, and then get rid of the "3 in one" ribbon...<br /><br />For me, tha much bigger problem is the lack of any way to automate banner usage - other than the DPS banner, they have a reticle and you need to target and place them, which is clumsy and in most situations when banners could be of use, I may hesitate to use them - look at this scenario:<br /><br />You have an overpull situation. As tank, you need to pick up a diverse assortment of scattered caster and melee mobs, aggroing on your party members. Party is taking increased damage. WAT DO?<br /><br />1) DK Answer: I got diseases running on whatever i am hitting anyway, so I just move to roughly middle of the mob scatter, gorfiend grasp all mobs together, bloodboil to take aggro over and spread diseases, pop personal survival cooldowns if needed (move plus 2 buttons, 2 more if needed)<br /><br />2) Warrior Answer: Move roughly to middle. Disrupting shout to silence casters and pray this is enough to get them after me. TC has low reach, will need more than one. Can try shockwave some mobs, though dragon roar is still a better attention grabber tbh. If these don't get aggro, might have to intervene to whoever is still in trouble. Eventually, mass spell reflect to help mitigate group damage... we're at 4 buttons already, 3 if players are sane and run TOWARDS the tank and not away from him, before we even get to the mitigation part... and once here, there is noted bloat: spell reflection, then banner, then warrior's own cooldowns like shield wall.<br /><br />There is anothe point of note: warriors have an exceptional toolbox for party protection, something that other tanks accomplish through self-heals and snappier aggro... but that design choice contributes to button bloat! Especially in situations like described, the priority will always be on aggro, and since I have to fight tooth and nail for it (sometimes need to add several TCs and cleaves...), I find myself relying on healer's throughput (or to be blunt, sacrifice the DPSers) more instead of trying to use the tools like mass spell reflection or demobanner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910701609800539268.post-30380171909667401812013-08-21T14:06:17.645-07:002013-08-21T14:06:17.645-07:00Thank you James for your comment.
