#30
Quote:Meanwhile warriors get an upgrade for Sunder Armor

Well, Heroic strike looks to have been significantly improved with the synergy with shield bash. It sets up another combo like shield block + revenge... assuming some bosses can be dazed... and it seems silly to add this synergy if bosses can't be dazed.

And the focused rage talent looks to bring the possibility of very significantly reducing rage requirements. And I suspect rage will not be "unlimited" in 25 man content, as it isn't in any of the current 20 man content. These rage savings should be able to translate into a rather significant amount of extra threat for a warrior able to spam 3 skills at once (sunder / devastate / shield bash / shield slam / revenge + Heroic + shield block). Add what will probably work out to be 500 HP or so from vitality, and it looks to finally give protection warriors a pretty significant advantage over non-protection warriors or protection warriors with 15-20 points in protection when it comes to tanking.

More interesting to me in the warrior talents is the move of tac mastery into protection and leaving parry in arms. This seems like a deliberate complication to the 30 (flurry) / 31 (MS) that I suspect will be popular among the DPS warriors and PvP crowd.
