I said it before and I’ll say it again: it’s a good day to be a Protection-specced Warrior. Blizzard is giving us so much love that I hardly even notice the nerf to Vigilance.
This was a post about the Glyph of Resonating Power which in past builds was going to double the amount of targets Thunder Clap would hit from four to eight and I was excited but this is something else:
It’s not mandatory, and actually it only increases your radius. Thunder Clap will do what you want it to do, but that’s another topic.
Ghostcrawler here is telling us that it’s been changed to increase the radius of Thunder Clap and seems to be eluding to the fact that they are going to be removing the target limit from Thunder Clap. This is amazing news!
This next post is about the fact that no one seems to be using Revenge anymore in tanking rotations on the Beta servers. Apparently Devastate procs Sword and Board so much (and Revenge’s damage hasn’t been buff enough) that Revenge, previously our best threat-to-rage ability, is sitting around not being used. Blizzard solution:
We will probably add Revenge to S+B to make sure it gets used more (and might buff it’s AP coefficient a tad).
Revenge possibly proccing Sword and Board for even more Shield Slams!? Finally we’re going to be bashing stuff with our shield continually. I love it!
All of these changes are really making me excited to stay Protection-specced in the expansion.
