Fury Warrior surviveability is still greater, imo, than cat druid, or mage, while still doing more damage. The fact that fury generates tons of threat while raiding, is ofc less cool, but warriors are a tanking class, if they wanna dps on a boss, take it easy (much like I can't dps on a boss in bear shape, as crits = HI2U LITTAL DURID, and I can barely loose agg again before getting killed).
The fact that fury warriors can do this insane damage, when warrior is the only pure tanking class ingame, while a hybrid class that's supposed to imitate pure classes, can't even come close, makes me >.<
In raids, warriors obviously do heaps of damage. Alron at some point during our raid with 2 rogues recently, told me he was #5 or so on DD, while I was 14 or 15. 15? Who's 16? The Healers? -_-
In pvp, it's obvious that these warriors are imba. Have you EVER seen a druid kill that many, that fast? And especially a moonkin?
To even get a 2000 dmg crit, I need to accumulate 5 combo points and be stupid lucky with my DD finisher. This happends once a month (and I have about 1300 AP solo, 1800-1900AP in raids).
My claws can crit up to about 600-700 dmg. This guy in the video had white damage crit that high. With the flurry proccing too (or whatever), that's what, 1800dmg, in more or less one hit?
It's really frustrating that I can "compete" in healing should I choose to specc that way (though not beat priests ofc), and if I spec feral (even dps feral), I can tank sufficiantly to substitute for a warrior (but won't ever "beat" a warrior in tanking), but competing in dps as a feral, forget it. I can't even compete as a feral dps specced hybrid vs. a dps specced TANK. (Moonkins CAN do massive amounts of damage in raids, IF they have insane gear).
When I usually notice that, hey wtf, I'm like doing, no dps compared to rogues,hunters,mages,oomkins,WARRIORS,warlocks,whatnot, I've taken solice in the fact that, hey whatever, I can tank and heal too, to some extent. But really, warriors can tank too, and probably better than me, WHILE dps specced, as well. I really don't mind rogues and mages outdamaging me. Their pure classes, it's what they do. But I would LOVE to be able to compete, as a dps specced/equipped hybrid, with pure classes that have completely different roles. Why does a healer class OD me, and outheal me? Why does a tank class OD me and outtank me?
Don't get me wrong, grats warriors. Must be fucking awesome to be able to do such sick amounts of damage, and see those big numbers come flying. I know I'd love to spec flurry and use fist weapons on my warrior, for the fun. I'm just, as Li said, "frustrated". Really, fucking, frustrated.
And yeah, I read that mage thread. I agree. Mages and rogues are getting screwed when the classes that are not primary dps dealers get even more and more dps added. And I recognize alot of the stuff from druid threads of the past (the ninja changing of the class description anyone?).
(again, sorry for the long rant (whine) :< )
