2.1.0 Patch Notes

[Taelas]

Are you outfitting yourself in real DPS gear? It sounds to me like your gear is not really DPS gear or you aren't dual-wielding.

For reference, if I was prot, my DW DPS gear would be around 1600 AP (before battleshout), low ~20% crit and 10-11% ish on hit, this is the kinds of setup I'm talking about, not a tanking warrior who mixes in a few DPS items. I am pretty sure I could support devastate in my gear, and when Wimpy played with prot as DPS for a day he also had no problems supporting it in his DPS gear.

Yes, I'm in DPS gear, and yes, I'm DWing. Like I said, though, I probably threw in a couple Heroic Strikes; I haven't tried doing only Devastates with a full rage bar.

I'm also only level 63 on my warrior. A little over 1k AP before Battleshout, I believe, with just under 15% crit (without Cruelty; 2/0/52). Not exactly great gear, and some of the items are the same as my tanking gear (such as Boots of Might).

I still don't see how it would deal too much damage. I mean, even with Devastate on every global cooldown, it can't add more than, say, 60-70 DPS over the current Devastate. Significant, sure, but I don't really see it as competitive compared to a full Fury build. Would be great for Prot grinding, though.

The Revenge change just seems really stupid to me--Revenge wasn't meant to deal damage, and there's no way I'd grind in Defensive stance.

Also, you should reply to the post you are talking about rather than the main post, the way you're replying right now makes things look really funky in forum outline view.

Meh, I always view forums in threaded-mode, so I don't really notice that problem.
