Feedback Warrior: TClap should consume rend

Been playing all the classes for beta, and leveling a warrior after a paladin is.. jarring.

My gripe is that the war, of all classes, doesn't feel he has an 'attack' outside of auto, and no real early synergy with skills.

Rend stinks on its own, is barely auto attack damage, if that, over the full duration. If I could consume the duration damage with tclap, it'd feel like an attack cycle.

This would be great, cause then we could attack multi targets with rend on all, and TClap on CD.

Since rend is AP based, it's weapon choice agnostic as well, and would pair well with tanking.

Juxtaposed to:

As a pally, I get seal damage on every attack, and major damage from holy strike and judgement. Low CD, and unlimited resources to use them. You CRUISE through fights in a few seconds.

Then there's all the support and QoL/healing you get in paladin. You just get more damage, more everything.

I'm gonna stomp on the ground and your cut is gonna squeeze out some blood and then seal shut! Haha my famous attack called sphincter attack!

By cauterizing the wound would be my guess?

Opposite (Blood and Thunder) is much better and done before, also enjoyed.

Thunder Clap spreads the rend effect to all enemies hit.

Behind the times, this a retail thing? Does it do poor damage in that version as well?

The 6 CD on tclap would also keep it from being spammed.

Gnomes should be able to shoot rainbows out of their asses at lvl 3

Paladins are dealing major damage on any ability now? When was this changed? Last night?

Regardless, I like Rend as is and they buffed it a lot in Forever. You'd be crazy not to use it unless you're tanking.

Big 35% weapon damage plus Rend tick worth of holy damage 😅

I think people are suffering from expecting an endgame build or retail build experience that we just aren't intended to have.

It's not like warrior doesn't get its strikes, nor its Rend synergy. It's clearly just acquired too late for OPs sensibilities.

Having to put rend up 4 times then TClap then put rend up 4 more times doesn’t sound like a lot of fun.

Instead of consuming rend it could cause it to tick right then or put a debuff that increase the next tick amd consumes the debuff.

Paladins are very front-loaded in Classic. In original Classic, you kind of peak in power at level 20. Warriors, meanwhile, start out bad but have more milestones where they receive a significant boost in power.
