emperor drops a good one

wooden gate
#

can start there at 52ish right?

open bane
#

hes 58 iirc

wooden gate
#

ah ok

#

wont waste my gold on fiery enchant for maraudon weapon then

open bane
#

59

#

which is considerably better than gator axe aswell

#

but could be pricy on depending on the server

wooden gate
#

dont think its on ah at all on mine

#

would the axe from emp replace that though?

open bane
#

im 99% sure its prebis for 2h fury

#

aside from arcanite reaper

#

but ye

#

the emperor one

wooden gate
#

ok

#

il aim for that

agile elm
#

Dont we wont slow weps for 2 hander?

empty orbit
#

for arms yes. Fury cares less about it.

wooden gate
#

Slow isnt always better either

agile elm
#

Aha

wooden gate
#

VA couple reasons why (generally) a slower weapon tends to be better.

Sunder Armor is part of our rotation from about level 20 until 60, with only a 6 level gap from 40-46 where it isn't used. Sunder Armor makes our autoattacks larger, meaning we gain more rage per hit. While the rage gained would near enough the same over a period with different weaponspeeds, with a slow speed, however it gets you more rage earlier in the fight, which helps. These added together builds momentum.

Next, Mortal Strike and Whirlwind are both based around Weapon Damage, and the slower your weapon, the higher its damage (at ilvl).

When people say slower is better, they always mean between equal budgeted weapons. Once we mix ilvls, then we look at their damage spreads. You take the low-end damage, and the high-end damage, add them together, then divide by 2. (low+high / 2 = X). You always then take the X that's higher, unless they're both very close but the lower one has significantly better stats. (For example, you'd take a tiny X loss if it meant getting an Axe with Str over a Staff with Int.)
So taking that into consideration, you are correct. Take weapon damage spread over speed

agile elm
#

Oh thanks for that 😁

#

Have the 3.20 axe from the crocodile boss? In mara w8 in my bags

wooden gate
#

yeah i just got it aswel

#

its better than whirlwind from what i gather

#

and ravager for solo

agile elm
#

Then im never going back to uldaman for that sword

vernal elm
#

should i even bother using heroic strike after I get mortal strike while leveling?

ornate mantle
#

If you got rage for it. but priority is ms - ww - everything else - hs

vernal elm
#

ww st is higher than hs?

#

I havent been looking up guides

fiery war axe - what is that worth for a 35 warrior?

#

#

can anyone recoment me a guide for classic warrior dualwield dps?~

#

recomend

fiery tartan
#

so question if a fury warrior has improved battle shout talented what happens when a prot warrior spam casts battle shout for aoe threat?

untold hatch
#

you mean demo shout?

unreal meteor
#

since the bug fix, battle shout is better for AoE threat

#

To answer your questtion @fiery tartan, it will say "a more powerful buff is already active"

fiery tartan
#

hmmm fuck... so pretty much if there is a fury warrior in the group you are destined 2 spam demo shout for aoe threat

unreal meteor
#

Fury shouldnt cast battle shout when the tank needs to spam battle shout for AoE threat

#

If they have improved BS

#

or a higher rank

fiery tartan
#

i guess thats true

#

thanks!

#

Hey guys can I post a question about weakauras here? Since I need help with weakauras for classic or shall I post it in the:"Ui-weakaura-addons" thread instead?

plain carbon
#

As a tank, should I look for a fast weapon or slower, or does it even matter at all?

thorny nexus
#

I very much like slow weapons

Just hit 60, was arms, when is the ideal time to swap to fury? Orc Warrior btw

Can I tank ZF earlier than Lv44 as an arms warrior with gears from SM?

anyone wanna help me out with warr quest im struggling its for whirl axe

Posting on behalf of someone working on the libraries for threat meters , if you have raw log files (not the wclogs one, the file you upload there) for onyxia aswell as a vod(twitch vods are perfectly fine) please send me a DM so we can have threat meters work properly with threat drops etc as soon as possible

tawdry quiver
#

Should I be sundering trash mobs while questing?

#

That feel you get when Herod's Shoulder and Raging Beserker helm on back to back runs

#

Ahhh. I hope t2 head drops today

#

I wanna go elemental soon

bold elbow
#

Did I miss something, I was spamming Battle Shout with four mobs in SM Arms and it would do 20 threat every time at 38

Chance I was LOS from my group? Is it 20 threat per party member?

woven torrent
#

Yes

lone whale
#

its less effective if the grp is full of casters staying at max range

sharp spear
#

heya, how does a warrior go in pvp if it has average gear? compared to say a warlock in pvp with average gear?

#

1v1 you just lose vs any class that is playing decent

as warrior you mean?

#

Yeah

#

@lone whale ah that makes sense i had 3 casters. Thanks y’all

cobalt otter
#

Yeah you cant compare a Warrior in a 1v1 with any clas besides another Warrior

#

Especially not a Warlock lol

#

Warlocks are some of the strongest duelers alongside spriest

exotic cove
#

I just got bloodthirst on my fury warrior, now that I have it how often do I wanna be using Heroic strike now?

#

I feel like I should only use it when I have an excess of rage

#

Or between bloodthirts

prisma meteor
#

Heroic strike is your rage dump in classic.

#

This random warrior from ubrs lost a roll on battleborn armbraces to me and started going hc qq saying they are not bis for fury and that apparently vambraces of the sadist (-1% hit, +6 str) are better "according to the warrior discord" could someone please specify what the eff this guy is talking about? :D Ironically this guy was tanking and had t1 gear with drillborer Gigalul

open bane
#

hes talking about the classic warrior discord

#

in the pins

uncut mortar
#

Does anyone have any tips for the best ways to pull when tanking? I’ve tried using a range weapon but it doesn’t generate rage, I’ve tried charge-stance dancing-SA and that works well for the most part, especially if combined with immediately dropping dynamite, but does anyone else have any tips? I’m still under level 30 but looking for any advice to get better at pulling.

cobalt otter
#

If you can charge it without pulling any extra you charge it

#

If you cant charge it you shoot it

#

If it's a caster and you shoot it you hide from it so it comes to you

#

Ain't really much else bud

open bane
#

generally smart to keep some rage from the last pull

#

so you can instantly ww in the next pack

#

Gotcha, basically I've been spaced as a fury tank per icy veins while leveling current at 44 (focused on the prot side). Was looking for tips on generating more rage and holding threat but from what I can gather I should respec arms.

summer stratus
#

Outlevel the dungeons you are in. Don’t move onto the next one until you are higher lvl than all the mobs. Makes keeping threat possible.

prisma meteor
#

Don’t forget that you need to take damage to help generate rage. The more rage, the talents you can use, generating more threat. Sometimes you just gotta let mobs beat on you for a couple of beats. You can also make a macro letting the group know when to start attacking.

marble maple
#

keep in mind that losing aggro rarely means youll wipe (especially while leveling)

prisma meteor
#

When dpsing on my warrior, I’ll often tell the tank I’m going to pull something off him on a big pull so he takes less damage and I can generate some rage for sweeping strikes, cleave and execute. Usually when a mob runs away and pulls another group. Especially when playing shouts bitch.

open bane
#

psure I tanked most dungeons on my mage while leveling and that was no problem

#

not by choice :^)

pulsar hill
#

I hit lvl40 and only have 33g. Is there a good way I could get a mount quickly or should I just continue leveling without it?

west sigil
#

run dungeons

#

also pick up skinning if you havent already

#

and if you have enough time on your hands start fishing, pretty much a goldmine

pulsar hill
#

been doing a lot of dungeons, but I am mining/bs havent rly started fishing I guess I should do that

plain carbon
#

In my experience, questing got me a lot more gold than early level dungeons

#

But maybe I just had bad luck with drops in dungeons

pulsar hill
#

I do have 2 blue boes iv been trying to sell

dont want to price them too low but I would like them to sell

Borrow the rest from friend who has too much money on their hands, if you can't just keep questing and doing dungeons

Which enchant would ravager benefit most from +15 strength or +5-7 weapon damage?

When do y'all think we can no longer get away with tanking dungeons in an Arms leveling spec?

but just use a shield in higher dungeons

junior pumice

It's helpful to use a plate set too

I choose not to tank. But when I dps I end up tanking.

Why is no one armorsmith?

@bitter crystal you can tank everything including current raids as arms leveling spec.

#

@pulsar hill run cathedral and vendor everything. Lots of gold. You’ll get your gold by the time you are too high for it.

turbid ginkgo
#

quick question in raids as fury, do you include ww in your rotation on single target fights?

tawdry quiver
#

anyone know if there's a cheesy way to grind weapon skill in blasted lands still?

#

I just tried on one of the mobs that goes immune and he eventually went un-immune

agile elm
#

Spam rend

tawdry quiver
#

I just remember being able to afk on some mob in vanilla

#

but maybe it was tbc, and i was only able to afk cause he couldn't hit me

frosty haven
#

not sure if it still works, but you could get a warlock to chain banish a high level demon

#

and you can just afk attack it

tawdry quiver
#

eh don't wanna bug a warlock to be my slave like that

#

pretty sure I can grind it on those immune mobs in blasted lands and just kite to reset over and over

#

you get a nice window of like 30 seconds where they don't attack

frosty haven
#

yeah that is probably the best bet

prisma meteor
#

Take off all your gear. Get int buffs. Seriously on the int. Spam weakest attacks on low hp mobs who can’t do you much damage. Find something to distract you while leveling weapon skills.

Is it worth rerolling to orc from tauren? How many of the top parses are orc compared to other races ? I’m already 22 and i don’t want to but i can’t help but feel I up lol

frosty haven
#

if you care about top parses, then yeah its worth rerolling

#

but otherwise, it doesnt matter

#

you'll just have to get edgemasters if you want to compete with orcs

#

which will set you back ~400g

brazen imp
#

So you can’t get tip parses unless your an orc ? I don’t even really care but I’d like to compete with orcs and also end game pvp I feel like that extra hit and stun resistance will be huge

distant saffron
#

literally all the top horde parses are orc

#

a free 300+ AP on demand is pretty strong, apparently

frosty haven
#

sounds like you'd never be happy unless you made the switch
tauren dont make bad warriors, the leeway and stomp are great in pvp
but if you're going to blame your shortcomings on race, you should make the switch before you get too far

brazen imp
#

Not really shortcomings just wanna optimize

#

But yea imma switch might as well

If your goal is fully optimized doing everything possible number wise then you should go orc. I’m Tauren, but yeah that still bothers me.

Hi guys, i have some kind of dilemma for my warrior. I will mostly PVP and i wonder if i should aim for the Arcanite Reaper or the LionHeart Helm first knowing that i already have Thaurissan's Axe and i plan to get 6part T0 (probably without the helm then)

bright karma
#

lionheart is shit for pvp

twin oar
#

It's not shit

#

But it's not that good either

bright karma
#

stamina is king in pvp, head slot is a big source of stamina, lionheart has no stamina

#

you need 5% hit in pvp, lionheart has 2% hit - a waste of stats

#

it's bad all around for pvp

#

you're better off with a blue helm that has stamina and crit

#

or t1/t2 helm

#

if we're talking p1

#

if we're talking p2 then obviously the blue pvp helm

summer stratus
#

I messed around with headslot as well in vanilla. And always went back to one with hp. I made ar first back then but made the lion heart for raiding later

cunning plover
#

What are some common things I could be doing wrong as a prot warrior?

woven torrent
#

Not taking aggro

#

Not using sunder

#

Dying

#

Not having awareness of the mobs and pats

prisma meteor
#

Not taking enough damage to generate rage.

pliant basin
#

You can also think you are worse than you are because you can’t hold aggro when the dps facerolls dps as soon as you pull.

uncut hare
#

yeah I reckon if mages are pulling aggro, I wouldn't be discouraged and thinking you can't hold aggro

pliant basin
#

This is my issue a lot. I like to control things as the tank and most of the time you cannot. Letting go and just making sure to taunt off the healer and not the dps makes things a little easier when they pull off you immediately.

woven torrent
#

Oh ye

#

Before you pull, check your healers mana

#

Because if i am drinking vendor drinks, i will drink until i am full

#

You are not getting me to waste money

pliant basin
#

Communicate with the party, let them know your quirks. If I’m full and have melee dps with me I’ll maybe pull a 1 mob pat to clear while the casters are drinking and if I don’t let them know it’s fine they panic, stop drinking to heal or dps.

#

This is usually for a guild run and I outlevel the instance by a decent margin

prisma meteor
#

And if it’s a dungeon, expect some dps to pull off a mob. I tell the tank that on big pulls or when something goes hairy, I’ll pull a mob or 2 off and OT to get some rage for sweeping strikes going.

summer stratus
#

I mean I wouldn’t do dungeons without buying mages water first.

heavy pilot
#

@bright karma thx for your reply. So basically both are kinda bad options since Arcanite Reaper isn't that much of an upgrade compared to my current weapon and i can find better in MC right ?

prisma meteor
#

BRE is good in pve and pvp. Earth shaker or whatever the mace is called is also worthy of pvp consideration.

heavy pilot
#

BRE drops on Ragnaros so... Not much chance to see it before P2 as Pugs aren't even existing on my realm

summer stratus
#

If you don’t plan to raid I would go with ar after your mount then farm up the unstoppable force when it becomes available from av.

glacial estuary
#

Just play on Faerlina XD.. with all those really cool guys...

bright karma
#

arcanite reaper is totally not worth it with the current prices/availability of arcanite

#

better to make a lionheart for pve/raiding if you were to make something

#

with the arcanite that is

Hello there ! I have a question for prot war. When did you respec ? Because I'm a lvl 54 arms war and i've tank the entire game with that spec but now I feel like i'm really getting hit hard in dungeon.
Is it too soon for a respec ?

#

I'm lot getting hit that hard tho. It's just that for the first time i feel like the spec "matters" ^^

cunning plover
#

Solo questing becomes very tedious, so whenever youre ready for that

pulsar hill
#

lvl40 with with ww axe and I just realized I can get bonebiter, is it just an upgrade? I know that ww is slightly slower, but the stats on bonebiter seem to outweigh that.

#

Does anyone really know how Onyxia's threat mechanic works going into P3?

#

Our guild got her, but had a few wipes due to tanks not being able to retake agro at the start of P3

#

I used Recklessness + rage potion and smacked the shit out of her

#

Also are there any guilds that do DKP with set item values. Trying to find a solid list where each item is already correctly priced

agile mantle
#

You have to regain threat in P3 and give the tanks allot of time (retail players need to actually listen and not wait 2sec) its going to take some time. Why? because the entire time you guys are dealing with the adds, the ranged and healers are still gaining aggro by hitting ony flying and healers doing their thing.

#

DKP and EPGP both have custom set values, you make the values that suit your guild

#

Generally weapons and head/chest/legs tend to cost more

#

Does anyone have any solid spreadsheets about defense vs stam stacking? I cant find any info reguarding how much defense skill we should be having. The wow heads guide stating "440 defense makes you un critable" Dosnt really tell people how important it is in terms of stat priority

distant saffron
#

its pretty shit

agile mantle
#

Also whoever wrote that needs to do some serious proof reading before posting stuff. Every wow head post almost has a typo

distant saffron
#

8 def ~= 1 avoidance

#

Its much stronger just to stack stam/armor

median rampart
#

HoJ vs mark of the chosen for tanking?

If chosen is the stat on hit one

wanton finch
#

Hello, do you think that the polearm that drops from Grimlokk in Uldaman (Grimlokk's charge) is better than the bonebiter for leveling ?

#

i did get the talent in the arms tree that gives you +5% crit with axes but the dps of the weapon is better

#

šŸ¤”

woven torrent
#

5% crit is pretty big

#

Try it

#

See the difference

wanton finch
#

ok, thank you šŸ™‚

woven torrent
#

It's not the best advise, but

#

How much more DPS is it?

#

I can't remember

#

Also

#

Try to get the sword or hammer from ulda

#

Those are some good ass weapons

lone whale
#

well,theres also a 5% crit with polearms talent in arms,not sure its worth respeccing for 1 weapon tho

#

also has the downside of being 1 tier further than other weapon specs,prolly have to rework the build a bit to grab it

glad finch
#

I’m lvl 57 wondering when and what kind of fury spec to swap to once I’m 60. Do I just go some dw variation and throw on some 1 handers? Also my guild seems to be favoring warlock curses over warrior deep wounds so I’m looking for something other than the 17/34 I was originally planning to use.

summer stratus
#

Pretty much everyone still uses deep wounds. I dont have it in my current spec but will eventually swap to it. Deep wounds is low priority and gets pushed off easily. But does anyone really care about warlocks? He your raid leader? Haha

#

And also your question depends on your race and gear etc.

open bane
#

just plan a slot for deep wounds its gonna be on the boss

glad finch
#

I haven’t really gotten to participate in the raid decisions yet so I’m not sure why they favor warlocks.

#

Only learned they were by talking with one of our core warriors

#

He was saying deep wounds is like 20% of a warriors damage

summer stratus
#

Go to Warcraftogs.

#

Granted we are looking at insanely short fights with top parses but deep wounds for them is like 1.3%

#

But even finding 2 min and higher fights it only goes up another percent

open bane
#

ye but if you tell your warriors to not spec impale youll be clobbered

#

rightfully so

#

corruption is a whatever dot aswell

#

Hey, Anyone know if theres a known error to macro vanquisher's sword. All item swap macros works except with that specific weapon

#

Any ideas? 😦

frosty haven
#

check for spelling mistakes or unnecessary spaces in your macro

brave epoch
#

Done that. I see a couple of threads about it. But they are 2 comments short and noone is giving an answer

#

Doesnt work to use a /click macro for it with the item on the action bars either

frosty haven
#

i've never heard of this bug before ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

#

maybe has to do with the name containing an apostrophe

#

and the macro doesnt like it

#

or something

brave epoch
#

If I remove the shield from the macro it works. But equips it in the off-hand. Must be that it forces to go where the shield is going

You’re selecting the correct slot for it? If it doesn’t know to go Mh/Oh, it may not work

Yay, that worked, thanks

brave epoch
#

Wow, I use Ravager as 2h, and Ravager's Shield for tanking... so now I have a new macro issue..
Have Ravager macroed to Battle and Zerker stance. When swapping between them it equips the Ravager“s Shield

#

So tired of the problems, I guess I just buy another shield of AH : D

tidal rapids
#

Which damage meter are you guys using in classic?

fathom axle
#

The reason the macros get screwed up with equip macros that don't specify equipslot ID is that the default behavior of equipping an item that can fit into more than one slot (rings, trinkets, one-handers) is that the code will opt to replace the lowest item level item first.

#

So if you're intending on swapping main-hand slot without specifying slot 16, and your off-hand is lower item level of your two currently equipped weapons, it will swap that item with your offhand instead.

brave epoch
#

If I assign equipslot for Ravager and pressing another macro where it asks to equip it. It automatically tries to equip the Ravager's Shield instead because of the name, saying it cannot equip that in that slot.

fathom axle
#

try instead of using the name, use the Item ID

#

item:7717

#

would be for Ravager (the axe)

prisma meteor
#

Or skip the intricate macros. It is classic after all lol

brave epoch
#

Aha, you mean like that

fathom axle
#

So something like: /equipslot 16 item:7717

brave epoch
#

Yea @prisma meteor thought about it.. but @fathom axle ofc, didnt even cross my mind

#

everything works perfectly now

Yeah but itemrack is nowhere near as nice as Outfitter

#

@solar matrix I would refuse to use that crafter even if it’s the only one. A lot of big builds will black list him as well since another will drop shortly. It’s outrageous. He could make a lot more money keeping it reasonable making a lot of them before others get it. But if he wants to craft a few at that price. Need people to boycott him.

I know our server has several plans yet still have a couple ass clowns charging 250g as well as listing it for 1850 already made.

You’re flat out stupid to pay 1800 for it now. But I guess that’s equivalent to people paying double msrp in dealer mark up for the new corvette.

Is there much use for weaponsmith currently? I know everyone is going crazy for the LH helm, but as someone more into PvP I don’t think it would be accessible to me anytime soon. I thought maybe I’d go axesmith for the AR but there doesn’t seem to be much demand for weapons.

Pre lvl40 if I'm running fury I'm ok equipping leather right

I would not equip leather for leveling since u need to be abit tanky aswell, leather is when u have a tank taking ur dmg

I would not equip leather for leveling since u need to be abit tanky aswell, leather is when u have a tank taking ur dmg

This is bad advice. The armor difference is only rarely going to be more valuable than killing a mob faster by having more strength and agility. In open world questing, itemization beats armor. In dungeons it more or less does, too, unless you're an explicit prot tank.

@kindred turret I suspect Dreadforge Retaliator off emperor in BRD is better than either of those because of a combination of it's very low speed, it's exceptional stats (1% crit and 30 AP) and the fact that you can spec into axe specialization with a 2h fury build but not polearms.

kindred turret

#

Hi guys, is 2h fury/arms relevant at any point of classic?

#

For pve i mean

tawdry quiver
#

@kindred turret heh sounds like you're good then šŸ˜› gz

#

@crimson breach Everything is viable for everything in Classic until AQ40 (arguably until Emps)

#

As for as optimum, 2h fury is quite good for pve, and 2h arms (the only kind of arms) is the go-to spec for PvP, but does very sub optimal damage in PvE

#

HOWEVER, arms is phenomenal for dungeons and cleave environments

crimson breach
#

How big is the difference between 2h fury and dw in raids?

tawdry quiver
#

like at level 55 I can out dps the geared 60 fury warriors in my guild in BRD farming runs

#

no idea

#

small at this stage of the game

#

2h fury could very well be better depending on your weapons

crimson breach
#

I see

tawdry quiver
#

2h fury is good. Slam spec with a slow 2h is good damage

crimson breach
#

2h fury is the slam build or can be the regular too?

#

Ah ok

tawdry quiver
#

I think it's only the slam build

#

tho there's some kind of hamstring spam windfury totem build

@digital venture are you new here? that was the best advice you could get. just play the standard specs because they are considered standard for good reason instead of trying to make these garbage specs work. you can off-tank everything in any of the standard Arms/Fury/Prot specs. no reason to do weird stuff.

I'm torn on weather to take improved OP on duel wield fury or just put more points somewhere else

frosty haven
#

anger management and imp OP

#

anger management has a hidden passive effect that generates 1 rage every 3 seconds while in combat

#

its very good

exotic cove
#

Ok, I heard about that but I wasn't totally sure

#

But is it really worth only 1 point in OP?

#

Why not just put it into HS

frosty haven
#

HS sucks

exotic cove
#

Fair nuff

prisma meteor
#

You could also put the 2 from imp HS into deflection (doesn’t hurt when OT or pulling a mob off the tank) then 1 in imp charge. Or 1 in imp OP if you prefer that route and stance dance more than charge in. Then Anger management and fill out impale.

#

A good thing about classic talent trees is that as long as you hit the must-have talents, you have some flexibility in fillers depending on your playstyle.
It’s not going to break the game one way or another if say you take 1 point in imp OP or 1 in imp Charge.

grim pawn
#

Heroic strike if I recall correctly isn't worth until BWL and after when you're just spamming it

frosty haven
#

you use it to stop rage capping, that's about it

#

eventually your rage gen is high enough to use it often but at that point making it more efficient doesnt matter

#

also there's a bug with HS where you can cast it/ then cancel the action but the next attack still counts as an ability when calculating the hit rating

#

making the DW hit penalty useless

pretty sure the dev's confirmed that the bug is in line with the reference client so 'working' as intended

8.6% is yellow (special hit cap) but rounds up to 9.
Crit, or agility, can be good but don’t sacrifice strength (AP) for it.

its just a flat 9

fiery comet
#

What's the hit cap for 1h+shield? It's still 9%? I can't find clear information on this.

jagged viper
#

1h+shield has the same hit ratings as 2h

distant saffron
#

@main zenith pins

#

@fiery comet 6% if 305 skill, 9% if 300 skill

fiery comet

Thanks!

#

So for leveling, we're using sweeping strikes and whirlwind

#

but how much actual time are we spending in beserker stance when not mortal striking?

junior pumice
#

I only went to zerker to ww

prisma meteor
#

Zerker stance if mob is same level or lower. Battle stance for higher mobs.

summer stratus
#

Should be lvling on lower mobs whenever possible

worthy bramble
#

i heard that with 1.13 they mostly normalized the raw weapon dmg so that super slow weapons of lower quality were no longer that powerful
it was further nerfed again in later patches where it made no difference, but in the compromised state it's in now do yall generally just get the weapons with the best stats/dps and not try that hard to get the slowest weapons possible for cleave since it's been mostly normalized to speed vs dmg?

charred terrace
#

whats the crit cap?

worthy bramble
#

like a 3.8 speed axe still cleaves/WW harder than a 2.4 polearm of the same quality but not exactly multiplicative as it was before. There are so many fast 2hers in wow classic for some reason

frosty haven
#

@worthy bramble its calculated based on the weapon damage, so just calculate the average hit from the damage range and the higher that number is, the harder your abilities will hit

summer stratus
#

Which makes a slower weapon with the same dps as a faster weapon typically better. You still want a big hard hitter. Unless you fast forward to a time when you have endless rage

weary lintel
#

Anyone know which would be the best combo out of the weps I have? I have flurry axe,thrash blade,mirah's song,axe of the deep woods, and dal's oh. ( dwarf)

misty bolt
#

Deep woods and flurry ? Or thrash and flurry lol

#

Did you buy all that ?

summer stratus
#

What have you equipped?

misty bolt
#

Thrash blade / serathil because Im poor

marble sand
#

Anyone in Benediction server SM ARMS ?

slender scarab
#

so i as fury dps undead warrior i have the devilsaur set recently i got edgemaster handguards should i take the edgemaster over devilsar gaunt all tho im still using devilsaur legs ?

#

and should i keep devilsar legs or there's better upgrade like cloudkeeper leg plates sells for 500g on my server not sure if its worth it since i still didnt get my epic mount what you guys recommend

distant saffron
#

edgemasters bis until KT as non orc

slender scarab
#

aight thank you ā¤

#

do you think i should save up for cloudkeeper or like keep the devilsaur legs

misty bolt
#

devilsaurs arent good without the 2% hit

#

way better off getting some decent plate if you have edgemasters

slender scarab
#

aight guess i'll try to save for cloudkeeper appreciate the help bois

distant saffron
#

Devilsaur are still good lmao

#

but you can get eldritch now

#

or cloudkeeper

long umbra
#

As a human warrior using swords I just got the OEB - I know 5 sword kill requires 6% hit to not miss. What about 313?

distant saffron
#

5.2% chance to miss, so you still need 6hit

tidal rapids
#

should I get a Obsidian Edged Blade and go 2H fury if its cheap to bid on? idk :/

solar matrix
#

2h fury as alliance smells like shit

cunning plover
#

Stonewall Girdle of Belt of Valor for tanking

#

or*

misty bolt
#

so as orc hit past 6% is garbage ?

#

I tried some simming and it seemed to be that way

#

wielding axes only ofc

steady palm
#

I would only have more than 6% hit as orc/human if the piece giving me hit above 6% was better than my current options without hit.

misty bolt
#

also I see Ironfoe/Flurry aint all that hot in 1.12 the proc chance is really low

distant saffron
#

ironfoe is meh

#

flurry is really strong though

steady palm
#

It's still technically pre-bis for humans, not so much for non-humans. Probably not worth to farm as fury dps and I'd rather aim for Dal Rends instead. But if you're tanking as human it could be an option to get it instead of taking a raid weapon (viskag, brutality or dagger route) from your melee. I'd say it becomes even more worth as fury/prot tank to have Ironfoe as a DW option. Then again, my logic for Ironfoe for a tank also applies for Dal Rends šŸ™‚

steady palm
#

That being said, 99% of players will manage more than fine with standard sword/board prot spec with Mirah's as human or something like Serathil as orc for the this phase and as we begin to move into BWL and your tps start bottlenecking your raid it will be time to pick up a stronger MH from raid. So don't stress it out too much right now and focus on play>consumables>gear.

rough falcon
#

can somebody tell me whats the hit and crit cap as a dw orc fury with axes? im at 10% hit, 12% with orc racial and 23% crit in bers. stance.

#

i feel like its too much hit

distant saffron
#

yes

#

go down to 6% hit

#

add more crit/AP

rough falcon
#

so 6% is enought for mc and ony?

distant saffron
#

6% is enough forever

rough falcon
#

is there a simcraft for classic so i cant sim some gear?

junior pumice
#

There's a spreadshit on fightclub

distant saffron
#

its spreadshit cause im LF1 dedicated coder to make a proper simcraft tool ofc

rough falcon
#

fightclub?

steady palm
#

There is a dedicated warrior discord for Classic. Check the pins in this channel @rough falcon

rough falcon
#

alright thanks

hoary radish
#

If I have death bringer from onyxia is it better to run deathbringer + axe of deep woods or flurry axe instead?

distant saffron
#

Deep woods is MH only

#

so flurry ofc

hoary radish
#

ah my bad

#

forgot about that

#

2 deathbringer axes should be better then deathbringer + flurry. I've seen deathbringer + flurry in bis list though

distant saffron
#

nah

#

DB offhand is pretty awful

#

flurry is really strong with its high proc rate

hoary radish
#

Anyone actually simmed if DB+Flurry is better than DB+DB?

#

nvm have found master spredsheets of master spreadsheets, db+db is best atm

sour burrow
#

are dalrends better than dpsing with Quel'Serrar mh Mirah's Song oh?

jagged viper
#

rapidity or voracity for 2h fury orc warrior?

#

hey, is there any good guides for classic warrior macros?

analog mesa
#

Im an orc fury warrior with deathbringer, brutality blade, and flurry axe. What should I put in my offhand, brutality blade or flurry axe? If you are wondering how I have brutality blade, i won a roll my first mc, then won deathbringer my first ony. Didnt expect to get as lucky as I did. What about in pvp situations?

#

Also is it 15 strength = 1% crit?

agile elm
#

Dont we get crit agi onlyšŸ‘€

analog mesa
#

I mean in terms of dps increase

#

Im still learning alot about classic warrior.

Alright, time to shill my quest to data-gather.

<Deep inhale>
HeLLOOOO, everyBODY!

With some help from a few folks on various addon discords and over on Fight Club, I've made an addon that will log SWING_DAMAGE events, capture POWER_UPDATE_FREQUENT events, so that with this and the support of Warrior aficionados, I hope to log A LOT of data as to how much rage your swings generate in order to determine:

The elusive rage constant at every level in vanilla from 1 to 59 (since level 60 is known to be 230.6).

Please, everyone who loves theorycrafting and data-gathering, help me on my quest to analyze the shit out of everyone's rage. Download my addon, and SEND ME DAT LOG
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/classicragelog

summer stratus
#

@analog mesa don’t play fury in pvp. Get a 2h

worthy bramble
#

have yall tried 1h fury/shield as tank spec for leveling? i know most ppl rec full arms 2H tanking but I think that's a little riskier bouncing around PUGS since I almost solely dungeon grind level

#

just hit 40 so I can go to last talent of any tree, prot is safest, but was thinking fury would be kind of the in between of 2h tanking and full prot

#

so on easy stuff and the healer is good DW or just press a button to pop on a shield in offhand and still get other benefits of fury

#

and do you know if weapon swapping just the offhand, that doesn't add a GCD to the mainhand for fury tank?

misty bolt
#

arms tanking 2h is the best way

#

you do insane dmg and threat till BRD where you just slap on shield and continue

prisma meteor
#

You can equip a sword & board when fighting a boss. Otherwise, tank it with a 2hander.

worthy bramble
#

ok thx, so fury/shield isn't really worth trying. Arms 2H you basically aggro with charge/sunder/TC for AE threat then Cleave/SS?

distant saffron
#

charge - SS - bes rage - WW

worthy bramble
#

ok - in between WW you typically go back to battle stance for less dmg taken and OP?

distant saffron
#

yee

#

or def stance

misty bolt
#

my rotation is charge-SS-zerker-WW-dstance-demo shout-SB+sunders/revenges till WW comes off cd

#

works well unless theres a really big ST burster going on wrong target

slate basin
#

I'm still not used to acronyms. It took me way longer than it should have to figure out that SS = Sweeping Strikes

solar matrix
#

execute doesnt scale with anything but rage yea?

distant saffron
#

Yes

#

It does scale with % modifiers and specific damage modifiers, such as gift of arthas

stark gull
#

Any links for the earthfury discord?

woven torrent
#

? The shaman disc?

stark gull
#

Nope, the classic server, earthfury

worthy bramble
#

@misty bolt for that type of opening Arms tank rotation you're switching to 1h/shield between the WW cycles? For the SB/revenge cycles.

#

so you're actually like 80% shield tanking but just taking advantage of big dmg/AE threat windows as WW CD comes up every 10 secs

#

SB = shield block i'm assuming to farm basically constant revenges

misty bolt
#

yeah

#

just sunders and demo doesnt really cut it for aoe aggro

tawdry quiver
#

Smart to throw a thunderclap somewhere in the opening rotation if it's a big pull

#

for the mitigation

#

I know most ppl know that, but whoever was asking questsions might now and no one has mentioned it that I saw

stray brook
#

best axe offhand for warrior orc?

#

dps

summer stratus
#

I don’t bother with thunderclap. And if I find I have to use a shield more often I just swap some dps gear out. Keeps my average damage much higher and threat easier.

worthy bramble
#

using morthrang's rotation there's no real benefit going 31 Arms I'm guessing? cuz MS isn't a big part of the picture. Unless we're staying in 2H 90% of the time except for bosses, only going 2H for the WW cycles i think would favor not getting the last point in any tree

#

mostly arms but some prot to get better blocks/more revenges would end up better if we're using a shield 80% of the time. Sounds like a pretty good happy medium since a lot of the dmg advantage of 2h is during the WW/SS windows

#

it seems most ppl just stay 2h almost all the time but i'm guessing that has to deal some with who you group with, less horrible pug healers, etc, lol.

#

-nit picky detail but SS before WW for opener doesn't impact the WW which already hits all targets right? If WW uses a GCD would we get more auto attacks that would benefit from the SS doing zerker rage-WW- then SS third?

prisma meteor
#

Spamming battle shout also generates agro. I’d rather spam both shouts on a big pull then thunderclap.

misty bolt
#

yeah MS is not needed

#

if all you do is tank dungs go with the Kungen build

summer stratus
#

I use21/30 for ss and flurry. Great dungeon build using a 2h. And works well st if you have a shaman. Thoroughly enjoy trashing everyone’s dps even in harder stuff where I have to use a shield 1/3 the time. Beating other wars with ms and similar gear. Dfr 2h and rivenspike 1h.

misty shoal
#

How good is each % of hit past your cap(6 for weapon skill 9 for none) i don’t know how to evaluate it on gear next to str agi and crit chance

#

For dual wield fury^

distant saffron
#

Not great

open bane
#

not

#

hey guys can u help me in build fury dual wield?

distant saffron
#

Thats standard build

stray brook
#

something that can improve?

distant saffron
#

Playing without AM is kinda cancer

#

I'd use 1/2 imp OP, 1 AM

stray brook
#

AM is?

distant saffron
#

anger management

stray brook
#

ah

summer stratus
#

I would take am as well drop what he is saying

#

If you didn’t know it gives you rage while in combat

stray brook
#

after use execute rage stay 0, i don't think AM so good

distant saffron
#

execute phase isnt the entire instance

stray brook
#

true

worthy bramble
#

@misty bolt only at 42 now, but i tried to do a rebuild to give SS which still getting some important protection talents (last stand and improved SB for more blocks/revenges)

#

does that look like a decent compromise

summer stratus
#

Why do you need those prot talents?

worthy bramble
#

i might not but i'm not in a real guild so it's often 4 random ppl with me and i tend to try to tank things as soon as it's feasible, u think i can dump all that and still be fine even pugging with randoms?

#

i've never actually had a problem takign the dmg just being cautious in advance lol

#

how would u modify that at my level

#

get SS then the rest in fury?

#

like this one would do better dmg just get less blocks and revenges

#

i can barely afford the respec so want to feel a little safer before pulling the trigger lol. You like this second one better?

summer stratus
#

You could go axes and fill out arms like most do.

#

What’s your current build?

#

Personally I went to ss then rest in fury. But was all fury before that

worthy bramble
#

i'm currently full 31 prot and 1 on parry, so my dmg probably sucks ass but i never die

#

i'm only lvl 42 though so only have those points avaiable and alliance

#

but you would stop at 21 arms then go rest fury? easy transition then cuz i can do that now and every point until 60 goes fury

distant saffron
#

Dont go prot while levelling

#

jesus

summer stratus
#

I think it’s great for dungeons and fine for tanking basic stuff. Others prefer 31 arms but for dungeons ms is trash and bt with a 2h is trash until high ap.

#

I didn’t take deep wounds for lvling. Took all parry. Imp charge op am and 5/5 2h

grave yarrow
#

going prot while being sub 52 is a weirdchamp

summer stratus
#

That’s what I did. And have think reasonable reasons why if you have specific questions on a certain part.

worthy bramble
#

haha yea i'm respeccing now. better late than never.

#

thx that looks fun, you cleave enough to use those 2 points there?

#

and i guess you go zerker/WW then spend most of the time in B-stance so the OP talents are worth it

#

gonna give that one a try over the 31 Arms one since i basically do nothing but dungeons. Don't think I have to have MS. The extra fury points seem to make up for that missing dmg

summer stratus
#

I do what most arms people do. Charge, SS, into beserker stance ww, pop sunders and cleaves, I through beserker rage and our other rage gen ability in there when it's up, before ss if I don't have rage for ss, or before, usually zerk rage before ww. If I'm tanking and going to be getting hit hard, I'll go into def after ww for the sudners and cleaves. Sometimes I just stay zerker stance though and do it. I go into battle for OP procs if I can dump rage before. I have a mouseover macro and have a WA for it on nameplates. I actually spend less time in battle stance than the others. I also have a macro swap for shield and def stance, so if pull is a bit bigger I just pop that after ww.

#

I typically have wf though, so take advantage of the instant attacks for more rage, and forcing cleaves on wf procs.

tawdry quiver
#

Anyone think Blademaster Leggings are worth it? They seem really good for pre raid DPS

theres better options

Guys I was wondering, is the Might armor set good for PvP? especially the 6 piece set bonus?

wanton pier
#

hey guys what is a good lvl to switch to prot from lvling

junior pumice
#

60

steady palm
#

5P is good @median rampart (more rage when attacked)

For 5P you ideally want gloves, chest/legs, shoulders, bracers, boots.

Obviously chest competes with SGC so it's basically the offensive value of SGC vs 5P or you use Might legs instead of Eldritch. If you don't have SGC then you can aim for Might chest since Eldritch is easier to get.

Ideally you don't use Might head to reach 5P since it is way worse than LH or even Mask and they both provides 2% hit. You still need 5% hit for pvp and without using helmet for 2% it will be scuffed:

Might gloves give 1% hit and you can use either blackcrow/satyr bow for 1%. That leaves 3% hit to get elsewhere. Blackstone ring is a solid option alongside Painweaver if horde starting off but since alliance has access too Magni's Will I prefer not to rely on ring for 1% hit. End game would be to replace Blackstone with QSR from MC regardless. Brigam Girdle is your only option for last 5% hit and something you will want to replace for Onyxia Tooth Pendant for hit and instead use Omokk Girdle/Onslaught as a belt.

Currently leveling a warrior that I'd like to mainly tank on. If I've got blacksmithing on him, is axesmithing the best specialization (due to arcanite reaper) or should I choose another path?

prisma meteor

Arcanite reaper can be used to dps tank at times but not for a dedicated tank at 60. Are you an orc?

autumn rain
#

Armorsmith would be better. The difference between dung drop axes and arcanite is small.

@distant saffron I didn't log it. And it's anecdotal anyway, my only point is that there's no huge difference at this time between Arms/2h Fury/DW Fury given equivalent gear and player skill. Sure, DW fury is better but I doubt it's by more than 10%

Eh idk

that arms warrior last night was consistenlty doing 350 DPS pure single target

just talking about output.

Fury execute is nutty tho

#

10 rage spam

@misty bolt Yeah but at the end of the day, the truth is MS will lower your raid's DPS

Yeah but were not debuff capped anyway

you sure?

Pretty sure

honest qustion

I wanna figure that out

MS is better than BT if you have certain conditions, sure

cause if my raid team is not debuff capped I'm going arms so fast

also 350 DPS single target is not great

thats not even a 50 on magmadar

and I'm horde

I know babyhoof but I'm talking about average players

yeah imagine tryharding the easiest raid in the history of this game

#

cons are about 100 AP 3% crit

but let's assume you are PVE'ing as arms hordeside. THink it's better to weave slam in or spam hamstring?
