I'm 3 levels away from 70 and I think I'm mising something on this class. Especially when Blizard keep hitting it with the nerf hammer; this would make you think omg this class is imba! But I'm finding it the weakest DPS class I've played to date (hunter, rogue, mage, pally, shaman at 70-85).
The issue is that I keep missing mobs. I need to read up on hit caps etc. but I'm grabbing every piece of gear that actually has it on, and still have a 12% chance to miss mobs (although this is 0% with specials). I can only imagine this will worsen once I dual weild 2 handers.
Solemn is playing her rogue alongside me and can kill things much faster. We're using similar gear. I wonder if I'm playing it wrong, then? I use bloodthirst as a main attack (shares cooldown of heroic strike, which doesn't do as much damage so I dunno why blizz call it a rage filler). I use slam when it's instant from bloodsurge - again, doesn't do much damage - 114% wep plus 262, which is nothing at this level. I use raging blow when it's up - again the damage is small especially considered you can't use this ability all of the time (100% of both weps, seems very so so). I use cleave a rage dump and whirlwind if needed.
So yeah if I'm missing something please poke me with a cattleprod.. otherwise honestly this class < other classes and I'm confuzzled over the nerfs I need seeing more on the way..)
What I have noticed is I can take out 4+ mobs with relative ease, and the class is a good "chain" killer with no downtime. But single dps is average. Maybe it's as intended?
