Patch 3.1.3
Hydarnes |
One of the most talked about and
debated things for warriors is TG. Why was it not even addressed?
If I recall the Questions were littered with fury questions. Are we
to derive from the Q/A that the 100 extra attack power in 3.2 is
the cure all for warrior dps?

I can't imagine there are any
remaining issues to discuss in the very dead, dead horse that is
the Titan's Grip discussion. We like the way it works. We think the
penalty is appropriate. We want it to be an attractive talent and
we balance and itemize assuming Fury warriors want two two-handed
weapons.
We understand some players are going to disagree with any or all of
the above, but we didn't think there were any questions that really
threw new light on the issue.

Please forgive these answers being so
brief, but what I see in this thread:
Titan's Grip isn't a dps boost!
-- demonstrably false
Titan's Grip doesn't scale!
-- demonstrably false
Titan's Grip shouldn't provide a penalty so close to another talent
that gives us a bonus!
-- well, talent tree aesthetics is a concern, but not a huge
one.
Titan's Grip warriors can't do competitive Ulduar dps
-- this is harder to falsify or not. However, there are several
warriors in this very thread who argue that warrior dps is exactly
where it should be. When you just disregard those players and say
"Everyone knows our dps is lol," you don't present a very
compelling argument.
I don't like Titan's Grip because I want to use one-handed
weapons
-- this is fair. We just took the class in a different design
direction.
I don't like Titan's Grip because it makes such a big swing, while
there are other Fury talents that seem negligible.
-- also fair, and why I said in the QA that we are going to look at
a lot of those talents. It's a big task however. If we make say
Booming Voice and Unbridled Wrath a big dps boost, then we have to
compensate by nerfs elsewhere. There is a risk that's going to feel
pretty [expletive] in the middle of an expansion.
