A number of additional updates for Warriors in WoW Forever made it into today’s new Beta build, and we just added all of the following to our Development Notes for today.
Warrior
Additional Rage generated from landing Critical Strikes increased to 100% increased Rage (was 75%).
Fixed a bug that was causing Dual Wield Specialization to grant its increase to Hit Chance to both weapons.
Developers’ notes: Because of the above bug, our tests needed some correcting, so we did another pass on Fury Warrior.
Fury
Developers’ notes: 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 now a 10/20/30/40/50% increase area of effect to your Shouts and a 5/10/15/20/25% reduction to their Rage costs.
Unbridled Wrath no longer grants twice as much Rage to two-handed weapons.
New Talent Lingering Rage in Row 2 of Fury. Lingering Rage increases the time before your Rage begins to decay when leaving combat by 2/4/6/8/10 seconds.
Blood Craze no longer activates off of Bloodthirst casts.
The Improved Cleave talent has been removed.
The Boundless Rage talent has been removed.
New Talent Furious Precision in Row 3 of Fury. Furious Precision increases your chance to hit with off-hand attacks by 4/7/10%.
Raging Blows now reduces the Rage cost of your Cleave and Whirlwind abilities by 3.
Raging Blows no longer causes your Whirlwind to strike with your offhand. Whirlwind will now always strike with both weapons without requiring a talent point.
Dual Wield Specialization no longer grants hit to your off-hand attacks.
Enrage is no longer required to reach the Flurry talent.
Death Wish is now required to reach the Flurry talent.
New Talent Gore Drinker in Row 6 of Fury, requires the Enrage talent. Your Enrage, Berserker Rage, Bloodrage, Death Wish, and Bloodthirst abilities cause your next 3 melee attacks to restore 0.5/1% of your maximum Health.
Improved Berserker Rage moved to Row 5 of Fury (Was Row 6).
Berserker Rage is now available at level 30 (Was 32)
Bloodthirst’s Attack Power ratio has been increased to 45% (Was 35%).
Protection
Developers’ notes: 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 moved to the Row 1 of Protection (Was Row 2 of Fury).
Anticipation moved to Row 2 (Was Row 1).
Toughness has been removed.
Improved Bloodrage moved to Row 1 (Was Row 2).
Improved Revenge moved to Row 2 (Was Row 3).
Improved Disarm moved to Row 3 (Was Row 4).
Improved Shield Bash moved to Row 4 (Was Row 5).
