Warrior in Vanilla is overpowered. Just straight up too powerful for the game. That being said, this just means that any change made to the class must down one of two things only: either optimize what doesn’t work but should for the class, or improve on suboptimal playstyles to allow for more options for the player. The changes proposed for the coming patch attempt to stick within those guidelines.

★
Rage Generation
Rage earned from a swing is calculated from the damage it deals plus a share
based on your weapon speed, and it is tuned generously, so armor mitigation
costs you far less rage than a damage-only calculation would. Weapon speed
itself is rage-neutral: at equal damage per second a slow weapon and a fast
one generate the same rage.
