Defensive Stance

[Treesh]

GG, I hate to say it, but Protection just isn't worth the investment.  There are level 60 31/20 Arms/Fury warriors who hold aggro better and cause less downtime than level 60 protection-spec warriors in BRD and BRS/UBRS.

And there are other ways to play than the min/max crap. GG and I both play for fun. He's having fun playing his protection specced warrior and we do just fine for now which is all that matters to us. We aren't dragging anyone down in the instances we've run so far and level 60 is a long way off. When we get to 60 if GG feels the need to respec, he can easily and since he hasn't respec'd yet it'll be a pittance to change at that time. Why kill the fun we're having right now in preparation for something that's still 30 levels off and simple enough to change then?

Edit: If anyone wants to play the min/max game, fine. More power to you and I hope you have fun playing that way. For me, it's crap, but for others, do what's fun for you.

Edit2: And there are good Arms/Fury warriors out there. There are also crappy ones who'll cause your group to wipe every time. Mentioning one group that had a gimpy protection spec'd warrior doesn't prove your point. It just proves that that particular warrior may not have been playing the best at that time. And look at all the "warriors are gimped" comments you see popping up all over, even from the lower level warriors. I don't agree with those either because of what I've seen little Gnolack do. I reiterate - we're having fun and we aren't fouling up everyone else because of the protection spec so just let him play the way he wants to play.
