I don't notice a lack of any particular class, but I do notice the inevitable random party dps shammy rolling on my heal gear. Yeah, YOU! No heals for you next time! Dammit.

I was in an EotS game the other day where literally half our team was warriors. You hit 'M' and all you saw was brown.

Haven't really seen any lack of warriors in general, and our guild MT warrior has been doing fine... the 4 heroics we've done have all gone smoothly.

I see a lot of Warrior on Stormreaver, many more than before in fact. They are pretty beast now imo and I've been leveling mine. What I don't see: Ret paladins, elemental shaman, and all DKs. I see a lot more than before: shadow priests, mages, warriors and enhance shaman.

Warrior. Three other classes do it better.



And your opinion is based on what? Bias? Because we tested out 3 tanks this weekend, Me (warrior), our druid and a paladin. We are all similarly geared (538-541 item level equipped) and I took the least amount of damage between the 3. With vengenance up no one could tear aggro off me (I am hit and expertise capped). With the new rend + Thunderstomp combo AoE aggro has been very very easy. Paladins have it worse with consecration on a 30 second cooldown now and not producing as much threat.


So do tell, what is it the other 3 classes do better?

Been running census+ on our server nightly since launch. At level 82-85 it has been Rogue by a ton with Warlock second least played. Paladin about doubles any other class played server wide

Deathknight certainly has lost steam since they were released and might be the 4th or so most played class behind Pallys, Druids, and Mages.

Experience. Overall dependency. Fun factor. Paladins, druids, and death knights can pretty much solo and walkthrough mobs a warrior cannot begin to solo without a healer backing.


Besides, it's just an opinion. I didn't call your baby ugly.

Wow, are you already in the beta of the next expansion, or something?

Rogues. It's odd that shamans are up there. I've seen a lot of new shamans.
