ShoR ranks :(

Then it's almost exactly goddamn same. Unmitigated does not justify a 35 level difference. That's just dumb.

You're forgetting that Righteous Fury has a 1.9x modifier and not 1.45.

It's a threat move for both classes, it scales in a similar manner, and it requires shields. That's it.

I don't see you complaining that Devastate and Hammer of the Righteous aren't the same.

Well yeah I'm not complaining, because I HAVE HotR.

I don't care about the threat, they've basically thrown threat out the window.

And I could care less about an ability I get when I level.

Am I missing anything or do Warriors not have to "look forward to anything?"

I'm sorry, you were saying?

80 doesn't count, and I don't think you can compare ER to shield slam.

Why doesn't 80 count?

Not that it matters, the point kind of is, you can't compare ShoR to SS either.

[Worldie]

http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=47488
~1k flat damage + block modified by armor, dodgable, parryable

http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=53600
300 flat damage + block unmitigated, non dodgable/parryable
possibly r2 with 6-800 added damage or increased multiplier

Our SS is way more powerful than their own anyway.

Still doesn't justify a 35 level difference.

Also, I've always been curious, what is the actual percentage that Warrior Shield Slam is "modified by your shield block value"?

100% I believe.

Then it's almost exactly goddamn same. Unmitigated does not justify a 35 level difference. That's just dumb.

Unmitigated does not make difference when they can get up to 50% reduction on a boss while we get 0 reduction AND we can get it increased by 13% by 3 classes? :rolleyes:

That said, the reason for which we don't get it before, is because then we'd destroy people in PvP. A ret paladin with that skill pre 70 would just annihilate mobs and people.

Plus, why exactly you complain about something not important (which is, class balance pre level-cap)? I don't see anyone complaining because a mage at level 20 can oneshot people with a pyro crit + fireblast crit.

[Jensaarai]

It just seems pretty dumb that a skill that they see fit to give Warriors at level 40 cannot be given to us until level 75. Mitigation be damned, that does not sound like a good enough reason to withhold it for that long. And 50%? Really?



You can bet I'm all over the other shit too, there's no reason I have to confine myself to one thread ^_-


And I'm not complaining about class balance...I'm wondering why a core tanking ability is withheld 35 levels longer from Paladins than from Warriors. The level cap should not matter, there are people leveling up that could use this ability to great effect tanking instances, and what happens when the next expansion comes out, are we going to lose it until 85/90? I mean cmon.



And 80 doesn't count because, afaik, everyone (Paladins too!) gets a new ability at 80.

[Worldie]

And everyone, paladins too, gets a new skill at level 40.

And guess what, everyone, paladins too, get a new skill at 75.

Your point was?

You can argue that we get Shield Wall at level 6, warriors get it at level 28 and need to have done a quest to get it.

What level you get a skill is unimportant, the importance stands in the level cap where you need all the skills to play. Leveling balance is not important.

[Nuclearseal]

question is :

do we need it now? i say, no!

will we stop tanking contest because we dont have sotr? i dont think

[Ashmadai]

Pre 3.0 you had no HotR and no ShoR.

Now you have what you had + HotR.

QQ

Seriously, if you already had it then you'd probably come back here at level 77 and be complaining that Paladins are the only class who didn't get a new fun skill at level 75.

[Sabindeus]

Pre 3.0 you had no HotR and no ShoR.

Now you have what you had + HotR.

With all the coefficients drastically altered.

Not saying everything is fucked, just pointing out the flaw in your argument.
