Indal warrior question

[Khalghan]

I have been considering what you've said about warriors and as I was reading through the new patch notes i discovered this:

Warrior

Defensive Stance has been improved to hold aggro more effectively.
Taunt: removed rage cost and global cooldown.

Just wondering if you tested the new changes out and if that has modified any of your thoughts on warriors or fixed any of the problems.

Read the 14 page long post on the main page of Nurfed. It's all there.

Aye I have. Not sure if he wrote that after he tested the new patch he didn't mention anything about the so called warrior improvements this patch in that article. Anyway it seems that he wrote if after the patch came out so basicly im just looking for some info on those changes and what they did or didn't do for warriors as im thinking about going warrior for retail but in the current state I won't be.

english is only my 2nd language but if i read his novel right he said that he can hold aggro if facing many mobs but he cant when facing only one, even with taunt etc. but oh well it was alot of text, maybe i am wrong ;)

[hellion]

his novel. heh

[Khalghan]

ah yea you are right i remember reading that. Thanks for the info guess ill roll a priest or shaman for retail

[Banickburn]

well if you actually read his "novel" you would have seen he wrote it while they were patching the server wit the changes to defensive. the original question is still a valid one and is not covered at all in his letter.

so I will ask it again has anyone in the end game done any defensive tree testing since the patch? I only made it to the low 20's and don't feel that I can determine the end game effects of the patch.

I've tested it quite a bit Banickburn, shield discipline is absolute garbage. However Concussive blow is my favourite warrior skill since they changed it in the patch. If you do go up the protection tree I'd recommend stopping at concussive.
