Warriors DEMAND an explanation!!!

Warriors have been nerfed into oblivion come BC. Classes that we used to out-dps can now put out more damage than we can. Classes that originally had no ability to tank are now better tanks in certain situations. Our fundamental means of generating damage/aggro (rage) has been decimated. Itemization actually NERFS us as we progress. Reports from reputable warriors claim that we actually lose up to 4 crit while aquiring new gear to 70!! We still have no way to break crowd control, even though just about every class recieved an additional way to CC opponents. Essentially, we are an absolute joke. WE DEMAND AN EXPLANATION.

P.S. Warriors are the most nerfed class in the game. If you want proof, I urge you to look at the patch history of WoW. Don't bother commenting on that unless you actually investigate it for yourself. The evidence is there.

EDIT: Thank you for the response Drysc. It is much appreciated.

We're reviewing all classes in the expansion to ensure that each of them fall in line with the goals of that class, including roles in groups and PvP situations, as well as damage comparisons. Changes are being made to all classes to either bring them up, or bring them down depending on where they are intended to sit in those areas. There are going to be classes that were simply performing too well pre or post expansion, and some not performing well enough, and we're adjusting accordingly.

That said we are making changes and will continue to make changes to ensure classes are fitting in where we intend them to fit in.

I don't expect such a broad explanation of class balance to alleviate your concerns that your class is getting knocked down a bit, but you should know that we do balancing for the betterment of the game as a whole, and not to target a single class or player.
