About me: I’ve been playing World of Warcraft since 2006, exploring every corner of the game. Nowadays, I play casually, but my passion for Azeroth is as strong as ever! 310+ days spent on one of my Hunters.. I’m constantly creating content from World of Warcraft and I’ll keep it going with The War Within, and the entire Worldsoul Saga.

NEW ARMS Warrior Visual Updates From Latest PTR PATCH 11.1
source
Good updates or no?:)
these look like frost dmg lol
I can only see this being good for PvP since its a visual queue for when the warrior is bursting. As for the animation itself, I don't think it really fits and is not that cool looking.
I honestly like it. I want warrior to have more effects for their skills. I get the whole idea behind the warrior not having sparkling spells and stuff like that, like enhancement shaman, but arms warrior skills feel so boring to press most of the time. I wish they would add similar changes and make glyphs for those that want to keep the old versions. That being said, wish we still had Condemn. I like it way more than the current Execute.
I think the old warbreaker was better, the new colossus smash is better though
That looks really cool. It’s missing some sounds tho. Hopefully there will be more visual updates for the warrior and maybe some for the rogues
They should have just updated the ground shatter effect. This new animation takes away the feel of being a colossal force.
At this point every class and spec is getting an undocumented visual updates except for paladins….. ffs judgement looks the same ever since the massacre that was legion overhauls and is in dire need of an update preferably the same treatment as shaman lightning bolt ( reverted to its old animation + modernized)
Old warbreaker was better. Hopefully they revert the change
Warbreaker turning from a thunderclap animation into a whirlwind is hilariously sad
hard downgrade lol
old warbreaker was better
Um, the idea to make focus on weapon mastery is ok, but the animation is awful. Also the downgrade to whirlwind animation is a very bad decision. It supposed to be like ground cracks all-over the place, not some kind of frost weapon
Looks like trash, omg, its terrible, wth the new Warbreaker animation is just tthe WW animation? We used t oleap in the air and stomp de ground.
Imo it's worse especially looking at old warbreaker. The weapons going down look kinda goofy and the whirwind animation doesn't really match something that's supposed to break the armor. Would rather see them to double down on the earth shatter effect making it look more explosive.
Looks so bad
looks like your generic chinese mobile rpg effects, blizzard really did take 99% of the skills animations budget into evokers bombardment lmao
I like the new animation of warbreaker, not so much the spell effect though…I feel like it's not as…impactful
Wow this looks like shit
The new animation looks dubious. I can't understand why there are axes at the end that aren't even aimed at the target. The animation itself doesn't say that they're from WoW, but from some other game (I won't point a finger at Korean games).
Colossus Smash is what you're expecting from it, a powerful blow that will break the target's armor. Making an animation for it is a piece of cake, since the conditions are simple.
But with Warbreaker, it seems more difficult to me. The name itself, the description of the skill, and the fact that this skill takes its roots from Colossus Smash. As a result, you're expecting a combination of 3 conditions, which in my opinion is difficult to implement and you'll have to make some compromises. But I would like the animators to try.
How about a animation for garrote?
warriors are too busy eating crayons to see new spell animations
So, warriors are ballerinas now?
What the heck is that. The worst animation update by far.
Its worse. And they still haven't fixed the execute animaton bug.
i love it
If this goes live it might be time for me to switch mains for the first time since Mists.
They need to simply let us swap between animation skins
Holy crap is this unnecessary. Yeah, I want my warrior animations to be colorful and sparkly. This franchises edge is pretty much gone.
As a warrior I want the spells to come from my character to show how strong they are. Not glowy weapons from the sky, that's Paladin's thing since their strength comes from a higher power. Warbreaker was one of my favorites to press cause it made me feel like a titan. Seems like a good glyph if someone wants something more elegant like the NE in the video.
That's gonna be a "Yikes" from me dawg.
Huge L.
Animation is too delayed and doesn't feel fitting at all.
Terrible! One of the few Western-style MMOs they want to turn into an ordinary Asian mobile game.
New spec, Aquaman.
It’s okay. 👍🏻
Absolutely terrible
As Main arma Warriors since cataclysm i fell it like a downgrade. Colosjs smash feels more like a aoe with that animation and warbreaker switch that Big stomp that fells like a Big hit to a wrirlwind i and more keep it Classic less is more
It's a + from me I like the new effects
i miss the legion warbraker…
why is a warrior spawning strange ghost weapons?
these animations look like they were made for ret paladin and they just removed the yellow tint
im not feeling it tbh
looks out of place
it looks like arcane dmg or something, like a spellsword aoe attack but not something that makes me think of arms warrior
It’s Colossus smash. I would imagine a big hammer, slamming onto the person not three axis coming out simultaneously from three other places. In my opinion it looks cartooning alongside many other visual affect changes.
terrible
"new visual" xD Its literally the whirlwind visual on character, only there's some dumb stuff on your target lol. They just can't do something right
Looks terrible 🙁
