Best spec for fury/dw =]

Fury/DW warriors are nowhere near gimped compared to MS warriors. The dps is very much the same except when MS warriors go on crit-streaks, or they might have it easier vs rogues. Get yourself a flurry axe as offhand and with some luck it procs a few times in fights.

I thought about it, then chickened out, I still might give it a go but i'd miss my 1300hp MS crits too much.

 

[Mirari]

I'm really torn about this.

I'm going for fury, no question about it really.

BUT, I really enjoy smishing stuff with a big bad 2h (evil axes such as AR in mind )

At the same time I really like dual wielding as well, however it seems to be much more effective frontloading damage, dealing out big smishses less often than dealing moderate smishes fast.

And I see that the damage from bloodthirst is 30% of your current AP, what I would like to know (as I'm just 30 soonish) is how much AP a decent equipped lvl60 warrior has?

I'm just thinking that if I specc 5/5 dw specc, I will have wasted 5 talent points unless i dw all the time rather than switching between dw and 2h.

Any experienced warriors who could give some input please?

An okayishly equipped warrior will have around 900ap (with imp battle shout on) so your looking at 300hp odd for Bloodthirst, 600hp crits. With duel weild your rage generation will be hella high anyway so you should be able to hit it every 6 sec.

I was thinking this spec:

Its a little bit weird and missing improved intercept, and anger management, but kinda worth it for Impale. Anger management really isnt needed when your duel weilding anyway, nor improved charge your rage is always going to be pretty high.

 

[Mirari]

First of all, thanks for a good post, you got some nice ideas there.
How about lowering deflection to 2/5 and increasing intercept to 2/2 and put 5/5 in dw specc instead tho?

You will have the 5 points needed to go further in arms line anyways, and you get 5% extra dmg with offhand as well as 10 sec faster intercept, might be worth it?

 

[Gef]

Thats a good plan actually, if I muster the enthusiasm (and 35g) I need to respec to fury and back again if I dont like it I think thats what i'd do.

 

[Uncle Sick]

It fcking sucks that axe specialization requires 20 points in arms talents - an additional 5% in crit chance would trigger absolute fury warrior goodness.

Well, I've been playing my newly respecced warriors for a couple of days now and I must say:
- rage generation is crazy... I can spam Bloodthirst at least two or three times during a fight.
- Deathwish is an 'i win' button against priests and warlocks but they'd better be dead really, really quickly since you sacrifice alot of armor by triggering this ability.

... but yet I miss my old stun spamming mace spec.

I have a new plan now, though... (and saving 30g for another respec).
A crit warrior so to say - lots of +agility gear without sacrificing any armor (as with the fury spec):

I do realize that "Improved Rend" is not really doing me any good but it gives me "Impale" which improves my crit strike damage by 20%... anyways - give me some opinions on this spec.

 

[k9awya]

tried fury spec, hardly even gave it a chance, was sick how poor it is, nice toys but needs 2 deathbringers really

 

[mank!]

protection ftw

 

[Gef]

That spec is a bit off the radar sick, you missing the end talent in one of the tree's. You need that extra insta attack or your damage output will suck badly..

Well, that spec is a DW spec (and just a thought) - MS won't do me any good and Bloodthirst is not really worth it. If the health regen effect was better than 10 hp per strike, I'd consider it.

Most of the damage output would derive from the improved crit chance. Top that off with some +crit or +agi gear... I daresay every other hit might be a crit.

pfft!!!

It must be bugged... since whenever I have BT activated I see a green 10 flash in my char picture.

And a 100hp at level 60? When mobs hit you alot harder... hardly worth it (imo).

I honestly believe the crit spec I outlined earlier in this thread looks feasable.
Yes, I don't have the 30tp hard hitter but I make up for it with a high rate of crit hits.

 

[Sanzor]

Bloodthirst ain´t worth the point. My own warrior is a mix of fury and arms too. I stopped at Sword spec and SS, then got myself Deathwish and Improved Intercept in fury. Works wonders and gear that adds up on +to hit really shine on dual wield.

Try Recklessness + Deathwish and watch the wicked show :-P
