Warrior has a lot more glaring issues and making overpower a circle instead of a cone or changing onslaught to having 2 charges is definitely not going to make it any better, considering those aren't even problems and all those skills you complain about have their strengths that previous posters have pointed out already and if anything make warrior more unique in this age of tank homogenization.
What i think devs are gonna do is remove guaranteed direct crit and do something about fell cleave spam, personally both of those things don't matter that much to me, but i definitely think they can do a lot better. As much as guaranteed Dcrit is making warrior standout compared to other tanks( and maybe even other roles) you still feel like a sandbag when jobs in your group can't buff you in any way, greatly decreasing your damage output compared to other tanks who outdps warrior even without any group buffs already.
And can we talk about drk's and war's dmg this expansion? People say that they do only ~4% less dmg but that's the difference between ilvl 515 weapon and ilvl 535, if you are a raider that dmg is pretty significant. Not to mention that to even compete with those numbers you have to consider that fight had to end exactly after drk's and war's burst, not sure about drk but for war its every 90 seconds, so just to be behind pld and gnb your group has to kill the boss in that exact timeframe of 10 seconds after your burst. I don't think that's very fair tbh. It would make a lot more sense that bursty jobs like drk(although they might change that in the future) and war do same amount of dmg as other tanks outside their bursts and ~4% more than others if fight ends on their burst as a payoff for ending fight in such a strict timeframe. OR BETTER YET do something about burst window being so short and it coming up in your rotation so infrequently. Take gnb for example, it is both of 2 worlds: pretty consistent high dmg and a beautiful burst every 60 seconds which lines up perfectly with almost every buff in game. Now im not saying they should take away war's identity of being a burst tank, as some people have pointed out that warrior's burst was 90 seconds both in ARR and HW but duration of berserk was twice as much as IR's. So either make the burst every 90 seconds for 20 seconds, or every 60 seconds but tone it down a little bit. It doesn't have to be same IR as it is now. I hope devs will use their imagination to its fullest.
