Crushing blows are amongst the only reason raids even take a prot warrior these days.

They'll keep taking them. It's Shield Block that creates warrior uncrushability, not defense.

Or, you know, maybe it's the fact that they generate the best single-target threat against single mobs of any tank class? That is, the fact that they can hold a boss, and allow DPS to go all out, much better than a paladin or druid.

Says the Prot pally, even.

I understand that Matt. The op implied heavily that this was a sign of the removal of the crushing blow mechanic not just a text change for accuracy. That's what I was commenting on.

and Aerei bears are fantastic threat generators since they're not as penalized as warrs due to static threat formulas. Static threat is singularly the great prot warr problem today.
