More Warrior Updates in the WoW Forever Beta
Kaivax listed Warrior rage, Fury, and Protection changes added to today’s WoW Forever beta build.
Kaivax posted more Warrior updates that went into today’s beta build and the development notes.
Crits now give 100% extra Rage, up from 75%. Blizzard fixed a bug that was causing Dual Wield Specialization to grant its Hit Chance increase to both weapons. “Because of the above bug, our tests needed some correcting, so we did another pass on Fury Warrior.”
“Our goal here is to give Fury more access to utility and meaningful choices early in the tree for leveling, and free up points later for more choices instead of being stuck placing points into Enrage to get Flurry.”
Booming Voice is a 10/20/30/40/50% Shout area increase and a 5/10/15/20/25% Rage-cost reduction. Unbridled Wrath no longer gives two-handers twice the Rage. Lingering Rage (new, row 2) delays out-of-combat Rage decay by 2/4/6/8/10 seconds. Furious Precision (new, row 3) adds 4/7/10% off-hand hit. Gore Drinker (new, row 6, requires Enrage) restores 0.5/1% max Health on the next 3 attacks after Enrage, Berserker Rage, Bloodrage, Death Wish, or Bloodthirst. Blood Craze no longer activates off Bloodthirst. Improved Cleave and Boundless Rage are gone. Raging Blows cuts the Rage cost of Cleave and Whirlwind by 3; Whirlwind always uses both weapons with no talent, and Raging Blows no longer adds the off-hand strike. Dual Wield Specialization no longer adds off-hand hit. Flurry requires Death Wish, not Enrage. Improved Berserker Rage is row 5, was 6. Berserker Rage is available at 30, was 32. Bloodthirst is 45% Attack Power, was 35%.
“Our goal is to give non-shield users a clear path to the middle of the tree, where Protection could serve as a PvP tech secondary specialization, with more access to Improved Bloodrage, Iron Will, Improved Disarm, Last Stand, and Improved Shield Bash.” Iron Will is now Protection row 1 (was Fury row 2). Anticipation is row 2 (was 1), Improved Bloodrage row 1 (was 2), Improved Revenge row 2 (was 3), Improved Disarm row 3 (was 4), Improved Shield Bash row 4 (was 5). Toughness is removed.
