World of Warcraft: Shadowlands pre-expansion 9.0.1 update brings with it a multitude of class changes, and the warrior was no exception. Many classes will find some of their most popular abilities that were removed many expansions ago, and their skill acquisition adjusted due to the huge level reduction introduced in this same update.
Not all classes received massive adjustments, but Warrior certainly saw a fair amount of class changes (two-handed one-handed maneuvers like fury, of course, why not). Below is the full list of class changes made to Warrior in Shadowlands before the expansion Update 9.0.1. For the full patch notes, be sure to check out the link here, where additional class changes are listed.
