Cataclysm Warrior Preview
As I'm sure some of you know I play a Rogue. That being the case, the thing that obviously jumped out at me here was the addition of Gushing Wound. What has ostensibly been added as a way for Warriors to do additional damage on moving Bosses (yeah right!) is going to be the bane of anyone that tries to run from a Warrior, and a total nightmare for anyone trying to re-stealth on one.
I think too many of the Devs have been playing DOTA on their spare time and stumbled across Blood Seeker's Rupture ability that punishes players that try to run from him. Very powerful addition to the class if it does a lot of damage, very annoying anti-stealther tool even if it doesn't.
Heroic Leap is back! This ability didn't make the cut from WoTLK beta to release, but it seems they're giving it another try. It will be sharing a timer with charge, so presumably it won't imbalance PvP combat too much, as Arms Warriors can use charge in-combat already. The distance closer plus thunderclap is a cool gimmick, but we'll have to see how this affects Warrior playstyles (and what nightmarish pathing bugs it will inevitably suffer from!)
"The new Arms talent called Disarming Nature will make successful disarms cause the target to cower in fear for 5/10 seconds." One wonders where this idea came from. This has the potential to be a massively strong buff to Arms PvP, an already powerful spec. Cower effects are those similar to what happens to the primary target of Intimidating shout. The target is feared but stands still rather than running around.
The rage normalization fix will be in addition to the rest of these changes, and paired with the new abilities and some quality of life buffs to the class, Warriors are looking good!
