Wotlk updates.


Wrath of the lich king updates. First of all im going to let you know that the Class Designer Koraa has announced that, and i quote "We're currently getting back to work on the Warrior, expect changes in an upcoming build" This post was dated 29-07-08 and from what i can see there has been no more news as of yet.
I want to focus a little on the Fury talent tree here if possible as this site is dedicated to fury warroirs. With some of the changes in Wotlk we can expect to see Deathwish back in the Fury talent tree, but a slight change to it,
will no longer break fears or grant fear immunity, I guess this aint to bad from a PvE point of view but from a PvP point of view i can see a problem, Its one less Anti crownd control. None the less, its still nice to see it back at home in the fury tree.
Heroic leap, our 51 point fury talent is receiving alot of bad feed back from people playing on the Beta, Some reported issues have been that the you cant really judge where you will land, The stun effect is not that consistent and that the damage output is rather pathetic. Alot of people are calling out for this to be reworked or changed in some way is it wont be that helpful in PvE environment as the talent now stands. Possible chances to break CC etc.
Titan's grip has had some good feed back even with the reduced speed of this that can be reduced by talent points. The dps outage has been quite nice from what i have seen in videos and is looking that it just might be good for PvP also. Using a 2 handed weapon in your main hand and a shield in your off hand seems like an intriguing idea for PvP.
Slam with the new Titan's grip may find its self being used more than often now by duel wielding warriors. Along with Bloodsurge "Your bloodthirst critical hits have a X% chance of reducing the swing time of your next Slam by 100% for 5 seconds" Its going to be interesting.
Flurry, no official changed to this but a good point was made on the beta forums about making this
6/12/18/24/30%. instead of what it currently is, If it was to change it would benefit the Titan's grip specialists and bring our flurry to match the flurry speed increase of shamans.
There really inst that much official news of what will actual change in the warriors talents, I could only find 2 Blue posts that said
"We have more work to do on the Warrior, yes =) Hang tight a bit longer." and "We're currently getting back to work on the Warrior, expect changes in an upcoming build." So every thing is possibly subject to change. Theres alot of speculation what the changes will be but no one knows for sure what the changes actual will be!.
