Warrior

The Battle for Azeroth alpha has been around for a little under a week, but that hasn't stopped me from taking the expansion's approach to Warriors for a spin.

We're all excited about the return of Battle Shout and other, lesser party and raid buffs, right?

Okay, I tend to be anti nostalgia as a rule.

The new class mounts tend to work in a certain way: You finish the long campaign to open the Tomb of Sargeras, you are challenged to complete some sort of event, and when you're done you attain a mount.

I should first point out that I'm using the MMO-Champion's and Wowhead's 7.2.5 patch notes because Blizzard hasn't put out their own yet, plus I logged onto the PTR myself and tooled around on a Horde Arms Warrior.

So far, I've seen a lot of complaints about Thunderslash being nerfed and not any complaints about Inquisitor Variss getting watered down in this round of hotfixes for Patch 7.2.

It's been a few days since patch 7.1.5 went live.

As of the writing of this post, we don't know anything about 7.1.5 and Warriors.

Patch 7.1 dropped and we're currently living in it.

Okay, now I've raided Emerald Nightmare and killed enough bosses (plus seen bosses I haven't killed yet) as both a tank and as DPS.
