Well, probably str
How important are slow weapons with the revenge/sweeping build
Not really since rev scales off AP and not weapon damage
Okay thanks
Ya it's minimal
Bigger cleaves with slower wep but 80+% of your dam is revenge anyway
hey guys, which is the fastest leveling build for 70 ~80 ?
im 67 rn, running revenge/sweeping build but feels clunky
You need a lot of avoidance for that build to be abusable
yeh, i have all green gear from tbc boost
it kinda sucks tbh
with shield block up it runs smooth but whenever it is on cd i got smashed
caster mobs also give me nightmares
Unfortunately prot war has awful block uptime this xpac. That means on big pulls you’ve gotta rotate shield block, shockwave, single target stun, last stand, shield wall- especially with bad gear you can’t just cleave them all down and they die lol
sooo, i should pick standard prot build over relentless assault with no gear
Yes
im probably solo levelin through quests, is arms faster?
Can warriors solo MT/Bot like DKs to level?
If you're geared absolutely, any of the tanks can
I was soloing Mt trash at 65 as prot
It was less effective at that level than ramps and bf
Prolly been asked 10x already but if the goal is to dungeon grind is it viable to go with relentless assault revenge or better off with shockwave?
Gear/pull size dependent
I’m in brutal glad/random raid mix
I believe doing the solo farm dungeons or quest, you go relentlessl
But for big stuff or being undergeared shockwave can be pretty useful
If you’re just gonna do something like the bdk blood furnace farm, I would suspect relentless to be much better
Got it will prolly flip the dual spec to shockwave then for guild 5m dungeon runs and switch back to relentless for solo
Yea that Will feel good for sure
Would anyone be willing to hop in a call with me to teach me how to play Arms warrior? I’m following a guide for the best rotation/ability prioritization, but I am having a huge problem generating and maintaining rage. I would really appreciate it if someone could sort of “analyze” how I play and go through my abilities and tell me what I am doing wrong. I’m level 37 btw and I play on the pvp server called Angerforge. If you don’t play on the same server as me, I could probably just stream the game through Discord and you could watch what I do that way. Again, if someone would be willing to do this I would be very grateful. (I am free in the afternoon tomorrow, but we can schedule a different time if you would like. Whatever works for you.)
dont bother that much with rotation and rage at lvl 37.just get to 70 atleast
At that level you're just auto attacking and praying for the mob to dodge
Ok thanks for the responses guys.
You should have TFB already so you're already at the braindead part
charge rend x op
mob is dead
My main problem is not doing near as much damage as everyone else in dungeons. Like when the tank pulls a big group of mobs and I use sweeping strikes, rend, and then overpower I’m at 0 rage.
And then I have to auto attack once, then I can use another overpower, but then I have to put rend on another mob to get taste for blood so I can use overpower again. While I’m doing this I’m at like 0 rage
you're spending elsehow then
rend only costs 10 rage, OP 5
you're either canceling your autos a lot or pressing something else
Don’t sweeping strikes with only enough rage for sweeping strikes
Does using overpower cancel an auto attack?
I think only slam resets your autos
one tip is just macro /startattack into all your abilities
And I use sweeping strikes as soon as I charge in 😓
Haha it’ll feel much more smooth
Ok thank y’all so much
Typically playing warrior at low rage is bad
Always want to have enough baked for mortal strike or whatever when it’s coming up
Once you figure rage pooling out between packs you’ll see what I mean
Probably don’t want to execute trash mobs either
And get the triple cleave glyph once you can lmfao that thing is sick
So I should: charge in, use rend, only use overpower and auto attacks until I have pooled some rage, then use sweeping strikes, and then use over power with sweeping strikes to aoe? And only use slam or mortal strike when I have an excess amount of rage?
I’m not exactly sure what has changed from tbc in terms of rotation
But typical your priority is:
Aoe: whirlwind > cleave > sweeping strikes/ overpower proc mayb
Single target: mortal strike > whirlwind > execute > overpower > slam > heroic strike
If that feels bad I’ll literally go on my war and test it out
I would say since execute and overpower were changed in wrath, they might be in the wrong spot in the priority but you have a lot of levels to figure it out lol
op is almost guaranteed crit
so you charge rend(for tfb), use whatever here ms or slam or whatev, op
and the mob is either dead or in execute range most likely
ms in pve isn't good dpr
on bosses just maintain rend(get a wa for procs), op > exe > slam filler > throw in HS if you have a lot of rage
It delays swing timers in wotlk, rather than reset
Heroic strike and cleave eat your auto attack, so always add like 12 to their cost
So we don't care about weapon timers anymore? Also, what about slam cancelling HS/cleave?
WOTLK Protection Warrior Solo gold farm - The Blood Furnace 400g per hour
WOTLK Pre patch classic Warrior protection gold farming

#goldfarm #wow #wotlk
do we have a classic discord? thanks

Am I missing something? Isn’t there a talent/glyph/skill that when you rend a target then thunderclap, it spreads it to all targets effected by thunderclap, or was that a later expansion?
I was confused about that as well. It's the deep wounds talent in arms, I believe. Where when you crit, it applies deep wounds. BLood and thunder where you spread rend was a later expansion I think
But you can get deep wounds as prot so thunderclap crits apply that bleed
Mists iirc
Have they done something about sweeping strikes + revenge? It feels like you press revenge twice and it's consumed
Revenge works once per dodge parry or block
It's not the 3.0 revenge that was infinite for the 5s window
Or you mean ss being consumed
Der
Ss only splits 5 hits right
So revenge hits 2 targets, might eat 2 charges haven't paid attention myself
Throw a auto attack in between and yeah ss gone
any 1 got a good pre raid is list the wowhead 1 seems wack
Someone mentioned revenge cleaving was a meme prot spec for warriors. Is taht true? What's the deal?
Would do wonders for us for threat generation in dungeons. Keep hearing that warriors are the worst tanks in this xpac, but imma do it anyways.
Question for prot. Ive seen a build thats an arms/prot talent thing and im wondering how good it is for leveling?
People say its really good since its basically revenge spam but, im mainly full brutal so i dont get revenge procs all that often. Is it still worth using regardless?
Noob question, prot for dungeon tanking pretty squishy earlier on? Just got my shit kicked in tanking the nexus.
Honestly couldnt tell ya
Warriors have always been very gear dependent but ive been doing fine so far
Is a boosted char so gear is probably not the best atm
I got my teeth kicked in doing keep in purely leveling gear, the stuns early on mostly, but I also had a boosted healer.
Imp revenge does eat two charges of ss yes
I wanna try the revenge build in wotlk while dung levling is that good or bad?
It requires good avoidance gear
If you're not defense capped and are trying to do big pulls they're gonna eat you
I was doing single packs, but the stun is like four seconds long where I can't block/dodge/parry and leveling gear+a questionable healer just couldn't withstand that half the time. I tried to save shockwave/concus blow to closer when they'd normally stun me and that helped
After hours of grinding w my buddy he was brutal war and I was disc priest, I finally specced UA on my big time war full avoidance BT gear and it was nuts
I could see with a healer doing 4k+ each pack if I could wear full dps gear… the try with full avoidance in utgarde, I had a shadowpriest healer lol
Did 2.1k dps overall 1.6 mil damage 3man utgarde(mage, priest, war)
yo, so im playing orc prot warr and I got both bis sword from hc up and axe from oculus. do i use the sword?
with sword spec instead of the 5% crit
ait, ty
I’m getting eaten alive trying to go the revenge build with shitty gear. Anyone recommend going arms or fury 70-80? I have full brutal gear with two brutal 2-handers, but I fear arms might be a better leveler.
GM everyone. I have just boosted my warrior to 70 lvl and made an Revenge-Unrelenting Assault build. Since the gear I have sux hard and I have never played a warrior (in the past I main'd like 5 classes, but never warrior), where should I get best information how to start?
What is the rotation, what items to look for etc.?
Maybe I should buy some shield on AH, just to have this extra block etc?
I must admit, that after playing like 30 minutes, I got killed 3 times, cuz apparently 3 mobs are too much to handle (which indicates that gear is really bad) 😄
War is really gear dependent. The wowhead guide is a good start. If u want to buy some greens from AH try buying "of champion" pieces
ok, thanks for the info! 🙂 Will defo do! But do I need to have strong hitting or fast hitting weapon?
as I noticed Revenge doesn't rely on weapon damage, but on the other hand Cleave does weapon damage...
Hello all I am going to be boosting a character (I played rogue in classic) am deciding between either a warrior to play fury or a ret pally, so my question is how is fury warrior in WOTLK for levelling and raids/dungeons
Not great
Fury becomes really strong with gear and armor penetration
You need bis avoidance gear for ua to work otherwise you're just a limp noodle outside of shieldblock
Playing a DPS warrior in wotlk is an investment in the future, they're pretty bad in raids early on and only pick up once sufficient arp is available
Dungeons arms can slap due to their strong cleave
But you're not going to outpace a dk or ret
Are glancing blows improved by expertise?
And to add, can you reduce the amount of glancing blows to 0?
No that’s just vanilla with weapon skill
The only reason to worry about glancing blows isn’t really a reason… what you WILL be worrying about is crit cap
If your hit, or expertise is way too low you could hit crit cap based off your yellow attacks(which cannot glance) being dodged, or parried, (or blocked for some strange reason), and your white hits, being glances, dodged, misses, and potentially being blocked or parried… effectively can push your white hit crits off the damage table to where your yellows will crit and your whites will glance
What do you guys think about titansteel destroyer for orc ?
Fast 2h are stupid
stupid good or stupid bad :>
Well what is your actual question
Is it. Should I be using the titansteel destroyer as an orc <spec> warrior?
Is titansteel destroyer good for an orc arms warrior Mr Jerreeeeee ?
Apologies for the Inconvenience
Good shot, i might only craft the mace if i dont get the axe before naxx
I wouldn’t if you are even a little tight for gold
Because that will be replaced with multiple different naxx weapons
And presumably you’ll be doing 10 and 25 man
I really don’t think it’s worth the gold unless you have epic flying and 2 maxed out professions already, and are fully gemmed and enchanted
Sim the difference too and you’ll see what I mean
So not much i can do about white hits?
Always 24% of your white hits will glance- at least that’s what the documentation reads
Ahh okay thanks a lot 🙂
hey guys, I'm starting WOTLK classic, and I'm wondering, how to use rend ? You apply it on start after charge but we never refresh cause of stance dance ?
Does anyone have a link to a good wotlk arms guide? seems like every one I check varies in BiS list to talents to stat prio
yo guys i got the two gloves, any tips in which should i use?
Hey i wonder should I use execute in berserker stance thus not losing the rage by switching to battle stance as arms?
no
the moment we don't need battle stance for the arpen is p much the same time we stop playing arms
k thanks
is there a possibility to sim your wotlk characters?
Why exactly BiS high avoidance? To proc Revenge? Because I noticed that when I take 2-3 mobs I got revenge proc almost 100% of the fight. I lose much of HP tho 😄
But it is just like questing as a combat rogue. The same stuff - I can take 2-3 mobs, but lose 50%+ of HP
guys i'm trying to write a macro for my burst damage so like cast reck, battlestance sweeping strike and bladestorm, the macro works apart from bladestorm at the end not sure whyi have enough rage for it.
#showtooltip Bladestorm
/cast [stance:3] Recklessness
/cast [stance:1/2] Berserker Stance
/castsequence reset=20 Recklessness, Battle Stance, Sweeping Strikes, Bladestorm
this is what i got
SLam build still the way after autoattack pause update?
Because otherwise you take too much damage, Revenge doesn't need a ton of 2ndaries to just absolutely demolish mobs, so the goal is to pull bigger use cleave/revenge to melt things otherwise its slow. But if you're questing and getting chunked, you're not geared for UA and would be better as either deep prot or raw arms.
Like the UA build is built around the idea of soloing dungeons
So when you say quest NPC (as in non elites in OW) are takign 50% of your HP, it means you're too squish.
your stance swap + ss is all your rage
it shoudl be glyphed no?
assuming not
should be fine otherwise
also UA still works good for heroics, it's all i've been doing myself
Yeah just can't be in garbo greens
no shockwave sucks but doing 5k dps overall >>>
It's like "I can tank dungeons as boomkin, IDK if its efficient but starfall is pretty good for getting aggro"
If you're holding all aggro and not dying, everything else is fluff eh
Being pure prot is basically "Hold W pres Revenge - profit"
But when that fluff is making the dungeon twice as fast cause you're top dps, some really nice fluff lol
Running old kingdom with my buddy, we were pulling 3-4 packs at a time… he 100% needed shockwave for that
We had 2x ele, boomkin, me as disc
Doing 15 min fill clears skipping bosses 1 and 3
normal ofc
altho i do double pulls in heroic often which prob the same as 3-4 in norm
Heroic with some gear keeping around a UA spec is probably nice
Is it possible to sim your character in wotlk through addons to see if theres a gear piece thats better than what you are wearing atm?
Also is there a spreadsheat for what breakpoints you wanna hit etc with gear in pre raid bis gear and also throughout the phases :D?
is arms or fury the play for heroics?
arms for sure
Fury later on though, definitely in icc but I can’t remember when fury got really good
yo guys any raw gold farm for lvl 80 prot with full preraid bis ? what can we solo for big money rn ?
if you can't afford berserking - what's 2nd best cheap weapon enchant?
if i boosted a character using tbc edition i can b oost another one if i get woltk heroic one?
Shouldnt fury be good to play as once u start getting the pre-raid bis gear compared to arms?
no
fury is dependent on other stats for more rage, stats you can't get without sacrificing cap on arpen
which is a bigger prio
essence of gossamer bugged?
Anyone noticing an issue with aoe threat? or am i just with mega pumpers
Is hit cap and expertise same on arms as fury
anyone else getting bugged off the zeppelin while taking it from Honor Hold back to Ogrimmar? always dumps me at the stone talon entrance from barrens
i believe you don't need as much with fury because you have access to Precision
Fury has a +20 something % increased miss chance because it is dual wield, but DOES have the same requirement as every melee(8% hit) to never miss yellow attacks
Okay, thanks
When does fury become better? At what phase
Not that I like fury more, I actually love arms but just wanna know when I start to fall behind
Also does anyone have a picture of talents on whats best to use as arms
the fight club discord has some decent information if you're not already part of it
Im not can u post a link for it
wyrmrest/ebon blade both have two good pre raid pieces
yo guys any raw gold farm for lvl 80 prot with full preraid bis ? what can we solo for big money rn ?
onyl shows 1 damage reduction
Weird
That'd be awesome
is arms or fury better for p1 ? or they are kinda similar, i plan doing 10 man raids/dungeons with friends
Arms by far
it's just the tooltip afaik
i found mobs that auto me for about 100, random trash in terokkar
and whenever it procs, i negate all hits
should i prefer the titansteel mace or the colossal skull-clad cleaver as arms?
cleaver
is there any reason why? the strength on the titansteel destroyer is a lot more than the cleaver, plus the hit rating seems more useful than the haste
Axe mastery is 5% crit
Wwhen is the time to pop reck on ST? Exexute phase amd stay in zerk stance? Or rend OP is still prio even in exe phase
Do u need 540 Defense to tank HC dungeons ?
490
Ty
You dont need to worry about defense for HCs in terms of dealing with crits. Defense gear is just what you want for overall dmg reduction 🙂
How long does it take to get exalted/revered with those? Atm im working on sons of hodir rep for the shoulders and the enchant to shoulders
Do the quests, put on your tabard, farm heroics
No shot you’re done with farming heroics before you’re done with reps
Depends how fast you can clear dungeons
yo guys, i got my gear for raiding is this ok for the raids on p1?
Are you crit immune?
is skull clad cleaver fra HoL HC better than Edge of Ruin from Trial of the champion
One world tour= revered pretty much
Hi everyone, would you recommend doing botanica till 78 or going from 75 to UK?
Botanica? Like from tbc?
yep, solo farm mobs in botanica, took around 2.5 hours per level with average tank gear till 75
I hear it's good xp but idk
but I got too bored of it already, I would change it a bit
Now that areas aren't crowded, you're better off questing probably
i think i am, i need to have 540+ def to be crit immune right?
I'm pretty sure it's 530 for heroics? Doesn't matter though I was tanking right out of the gate at like 495 defense you just eat the occasional crit
Was 490 tbc defensive cap, my goodness it's been forever since I paid attention
Botanica is better xp as mobs have so much less hp*
can do it easily to 77
will take you around 30-35 runs to hit 77
Yes
That is smart, what other classes can do this?
30-35 runs for 77 isn’t bad at all
What’s the fastest way to get to botanica? Portal somewhere?
Just fly to netherstorm takes 2 minutes 
berserking enchant too expensive what else should i use for arms weapon enchant
zerking is kinda cheap mat wise
can get greater savagery i guess
massacre is still 6 abyss crystals and it's significantly worse than zerking
raids are out in 3 days just relax and get abyss crystals for 25g
you wont need uber dps to beat naxx 10.
its easier than heroics
To all of you saying you can't do botanica if you didn't raid:
Plan, track and share gear sets for your Wrath of the Lich King Classic characters.
This one works
I had some struggles but then put lifeward on my weapon and also got the DMC trinket, jesus it's super smooth now compared to before
Hope nobody claimed you needed top notch gear for Botanica 😄
cobalt crafts good pickup for warrior alts starting now. good call
Most people I’ve talked to has claimed you need ”swp gear or go quest”
I challenge everyone on the server to do it faster!
My discord: https://discord.gg/ZvvzRHrpRu
how is this even possible bro
like its not a click bait title either
its legit a 1-80 in 5 hours
Is that possible in Classic WOTLK though with the nerfed boosting? Or does warmane have the same?
the boosting didnt seemed nerfed for some reason, he went from lvl 15 to 28 in 2 stocks dungeons
and then 28 to 40 in 2 sm caths
best leveling spec? (70-80)
it really doesnt matter to be honest
their all decently fast
prot arms if you want to spam dungeons solo
i guess fury would be the least ideal?
a lot of mobility as well
and arms just does a shit load of cleave, so does prot but arms is faster
intercept charge
Prot warrior is also stupid fun
No way arms is faster than UA prot with some avoidance gear and big pulls
so like if i take fury cause i like the spec more than the other 2 it should be fine yeah
hii guys
been leveling as prot for quite some time and honestly i cant anymore xd
im new here
Welcome!
well depending on cds arms is faster on like 8+ mob pulls
in questing n shit
- until zuldrak a lot of the mobs will be contested
i have +34 pent gems
isee most people go strngth + ap
and wotlk is much good for warrior AP
armor pent *
hmm
hey guys, i've got a couple talent questions
for protection tanks
anyone i can reach about it?
No
ash fresh 70 boosted what the best thing i can do for lvl? quest?
Quest, could try to solo botanica in tbc. Heard that is pretty good
idk
ill drop the full question then
this are my current talents
i think its pretty good so far, but i've got 2 points left that im doubting where to put
i see most people taking 2 points in Improved Disciplines, but really? 1 minute on that CD that you mostly just have whenever u need it, its too long regardless of the talents to use it 2 times on a boss
so i was thinking of 2 things
either focused rage, and i know you have a lot of fury all the time, but eeh just in case
or 2 points in Cruelty (Fury), for the improved crit (seems pretty good imo)
what do you think?
didnt think about safeguard
im not too used to using it, its kinda clunky to targed allies
depends what you are tanking
but safeguard is generally always a pick
for dungeons, a lot of this is survivability overkill but shockwave is obv good
when do you fill in sunder armor as fury warrior, especially on multi target fights?
too hard for me atm.. i need like sunwell gear
To tank patchwerk on 25m how much health should I have unbuffed?
As much as possible
You mean hatefulls or maintank
What’s his damage per swing(or hateful), what’s your armor#?, what is your debuff profile?, and how much stam do you have now?
LoL have a rogue do it
Uh
But the hots that tick after u take 1
Hatefuls
You'll probably never take 2 in a row
Then able to take another with like 1hp to spare
Warr will be the third tank
Yea… but the healers be zzz
If you do, there is something wrong
That’s how raiding works
Like right now I have 23k unbuffed and I'm the third tank on patchwerk
So hateful will hit the highest health target in the top portion of the aggro table
When he hits you, your hp will (unless bur) drop under basically everyone else's, in theory
So unless you're topped up, he'll eat a dps
But you think 23k unbuffed will be fine?
Like at raid I'll have e buffs I just dint know what my hp will be with those
Prob what 26k ish?
U take 2, when the other tank isn’t topped as fast as you
Generally that's where the fury warriors start dying
Two two handers means you're nearly tank hp without the armor
Really? They have that much Stam loaded into them?
Yeah
I never noticed that change to weapon stats
Twohanders generally have twice as much stam
And DPS plate wastes alot of stat budget on stam, more than leather
Rs25 heroic really showed us that
And same with swp gear
Dummys at blizzard man always trying to make everyone join their leather wearing office sex cult
Well they didn't tbh they would always tell warriors to wear plate it's made for you, nevermind that even with the armor to attack conversion in wotlk it's still 10% behind leather budget for DPS stats
Because warriors get much better agi to crit conversion
No dps wants to wear gear that makes you do less dps ofc
Why because “warriors take 10% more dam” heal me more Bitch
Now I’m taking 10% more dam in leather gear haha
can someone say when to weave in sunder armor when your responsible and dont have someone else as fury warrior?
R O G U E S J O B
but isnt fury technically more suited for it? or is there something i miss?
Hello chad warriors ! Do we use Execution, Hamstring and Pummel has prot warrior in pvp ? (and in pve btw)
Probably Cloudstriders Waraxe
Any clear determination on Arms over Fury for P1 dps? Thoughts?
Red Sword of Courage for all races
So which would be better for pve purposes?
The wowhead guide says to take the left one but I've seen another take tactical mastery.
In a perfect world your raid would be running a prot maintank to optimize DPS, but I see a lot of people running pal dk because of idiotic private server bloat information being referenced in sims
By the way, why do we use slam instead of heroic strike as arms? It seems to not make sense as heroic strike costs less and deals more damage, right?
Is it because it's not tied to weapon swing timer so you can use it more?
(I presume it has to be for this reason)
You can’t generate rage on empowered autos
Oh damn, I didn't know this
So it's like the last ditch effort to get rid of your rage, if there's a lot of it coming in?
Yeah you'll rarely HS as arms, it has a substantial opportunity cost for rage gen, not that slam doesn't, since delaying an auto attack by it's cast time
will bs become irrelevant later in expansion?
Unsure what you're asking
i mean will we get other recipes?
Titansteel is best atm but will there be other recipes?
I think each phase will have new recipes
Belt of the titans - recipe from ulduar
Hell frozen bonegrinders- recipe from icc
just a preference thing. there's value if you know you stance swap a lot but if you know you don't then just get the resist
Oh bs blacksmithing, not bladestorm
Yeah you'll get some new stuff
Togc iirc has some pretty nice things
How long will naxx take both 10m and 25m if your guild is mediocre or worse?
OK, Am I the only one running into bugs when swapping from 2H to 1H + shield guys? Randomly, for a reason I can't figure out, sometimes I'd spam it and it just won't equip the shield
I tried a normal equip macro, I tried equipslot macros, I changed around where the /cast Shield Bash/Reflect/Wall portion sits
Do you put a "/stopcasting" at the start of the macro for canceling Heroic Strike/Cleave? you cant swap weapon when you got Heroic Strike queued.
This one does the trick for me:
#showtooltip Spell Reflection
/stopcasting
/equip Red Sword of Courage
/equip Royal Crest of Lordaeron
/cast Defensive Stance
/cast Spell Reflection
@lament lichen I just figured that out myself holy shit
and added /stopcasting
thanks anyway!
was worried it might stop my autoattack, but it doesn't, so it's all gucci ❤️
Question, should I add EP to pawn or weights>
Is there a guide on how to setup pawn for warrior, cuz i feel like whenever it says its an upgrade i lose hit rating
Just don't use pawn
Tactical Mastery is better. Since shattering throw requires battle stance and 25 rage to use. Both recommended prot and fury talents on wowhead have 3/3 tactical mastery. I assume Arms setup does not include TM as Battle stance is your default dps stance but I would still grab it vs the stun reduction. Its annoying not to be able to swap zerker stance to WW or pummel.
Makes sense. Got the orc racial anyways for the stun reduction
Hey, im full bis/epic on my arms Warr but when i sim it, it says that fury will do around 800 more dps. I havent really tried it out yet but which specc should i go for in naxx? What are you guys going and why
hey lads i got a question. I can't afford berserking atm on my 2hander b4 nax, What would be the best option 2? 110 attack power or mongoose?
for arms
@cursive horizon 110 ap.
@ripe python arms, fury just isnt that good until they have alot of arp.
thx
@mental fossil how come my sim is higher as fury then arms then?
4300 as arms, 5200 as fury
because simming isnt always 100% correct
I know that, but almost 1000 dps wrong then
If not pawn what then?
I'd use sim as they are way more accurate and whatnot
The main problem with pawn is not accounting for stuff like hit cap and your stats weights changing with every different piece of gear
Do you guys think eighty upgrades is a better upgrade analysis tool? Is there any other more sophisticated simulation tool for wrath like raid bots?
I tried installing the addon simulationscraft but cant type /simc, so how do u sim ur char?
Personally I didn't get any results with the addon (pretty sure it only works on retail), so I used the old method of running the simulationcraft software on my computer, but, you would need a beefy machine to do so since it's kinda heavy on the processor
Alternatively there's the GitHub based website to simulate, I'll send the link here in a minute
U need to configure the build your running and your gear and then simulate with other gearsets, I seems accurate for the most part but take the results with a grain of salt
I used it and got some pretty accurate results from my own testing but I'd still prefer the simcraft app if your PC can run it without slowing down
Does anyone happen to know the lowest level you'll be able to enter naxx? Do you basically just need flying to enter? Or do you have to be 80? P1 in tbc you could be 68.
outside of pvp and moving, when is it smart to be casting Moral strike
So i have a question. I just started playing Prot in Wrath so i don't have the best gear since its a fresh character, but i tried to do my first heroic last night and couldn't hold aggro. I was wondering if there was a certain rotation or something because all the DPS i run with have just been blasting the mobs before i can sunder anything
Devastate or sunder?
Your tclap should just do 80% of the work for grouping them Revenge should do 80% of the work for 1-2 targets
Yeah devastate, but it seems like i charge in, demo and battle shout but the people i play with just drop every AOE they have before i can start to Devastate the other mobs in a pack
Don’t demo on trash unless you’re getting wrecked
Waste of a global, they should be pumping as soon as you charge in
Why battle?
You should have rage pooled to battle pre pull
You’re charging in and using 2 gcd that don’t generate(much) threat
That’s 3 seconds of standing there with your… sword in your hand
So should i like bloodrage on the first pull just for initial rage and then after that just carry rage through the other packs up to the boss?
Usually
There are hiccups like long walks or waiting for a rez but yeah ideally
Bloodrage usually for battle shout pre pull or if it still has some time you can get some extra rage for some extra cleaves on pull
Also 3cleave glyph is great, shockwave glyph is pretty good, sunder glyph is pretty ok
I wouldn’t waste a glyph spot for the taunt or last stand/shield wall glyphs for running heroics
Depends on gold and preference though
Ah yeah i forgot to change my glyphs i think i'm still using the glyphs for the revenge prot build
that goes down the arms tree
ya the sims/pawn/weights etc are wildly off sometimes so i wouldn't even bother with trusting it tbh
yet at least
just tank heroics as UA, never lose aggro because you're always top dps

Don't shout in combat, you charge then thunderclap, cleave and revenge, tc in cd, revenge every time you can
If you're dealing with real pumpers shockwave then tc
Yeah if you’re with merciless warlocks the rota: shockwave-> TC -> ST stun mob you have low threat on -> taunt another mob you have low threat on
Going to admit I just open with seed in my warlock
Course thus far only dk seem to have issues holding mobs
I still don’t get it
When I watch naxx streams from the beta I see bdk topping aoe a lot of packs
How long will darkmoon card be bis for us?
It says according to bis pre-raid and bis phase 1 aswell its bis
But will it be bis in phase 2 and 3?
Sim against p2 trinkets if they’re options in the sim, otherwise you’ll have to wait for next tier’s wowhead guide
Gearing is likely to be different considering the item level changes in p2
Hey in deep prot should I even worry about using rend other than on single target boss fights? It seems like a global would be better spent using revenge, devastate or shield slam
- Run vigilance glyph so it transfers 15% threat on the guy you buff instead of 10%. Good choices for vigilance are boomie, warlock and death knight. The other 2 glyphs matter less, I like shield slam and devastate over the alternatives. Rogue has tricks but it does provide dmg so not sure what the play is. Tank can do giga dam though so if speed is the key 🙂
- Hunters not using MD on CD (30s) are griefing
- Prio thunder clap, keep cleave queued as rage permits and then be tactical with revenge. It hits +1 target. If you got 5-6 mobs in front of you can spread the revenges
- Use taunt. Biggest mistake warrior tanks done since Classic is not taunt on CD. There is no reason not to. In Wrath it has 30 yard range to boot. Aoe taunt has 3min cd and absolute worst case mocking blow
- Get a good nameplate addon, I recommend ThreatPlates. It color codes depending on threat. Yellow = about to lose aggro. Easier to identify what target to taunt preemptively or smack a shield slam on
- Dont forget heroic throw, insane threat
- Run 2/2 imp charge with low gear (skip points in Imp heroic Strike). Helps when a pull begins with low rage and as charge has 15s cd you can charge to catch shit that is stuck at range or lose and intercept back to main pack
- When you engage a typical aoe pack thunder clap, revenge asap and ideally get another revenge ready before you shockwave (revenge has 5s cd but the window to use revenge is enough that you can get it ready preemptively). Shockwave does very nice dmg but you also stun shit. What you want to avoid is instantly Shockwave, have the mobs stun, run dry on rage and then have no follow up. Letting the mobs smack you for 1-2s before shockwave secures continued pump
You can use it until ICC - its that strong
For dps warrior, what reputation should I get after ebon blade?
iirc nothing too hot just do them 1 and 1
Hey guys I think a lot asked this before but is ms better in p1?
Pre raid and after bis raid ?
Mortal strike always on CD if that is what you meant with MS
I mean arms sorry
Both just press cleave
Depends on whether you want to bloodthirst the boss or mortal strike the boss
I try to upload my character on warcraft logs but it says they can't find my character name?
@knotty nexus so for raid bosses it doesn’t matter ? Both are bottom right ? 😅
if you cleared 10man naxx, is it possible to do it again with a pug?
on the same week (wanna play with a friend of mine)
yo if you boost a charater does it also boost the proffesion for the char to or not? and what about weapon skills, do they become "max" for lvl 70?
If there is both Fury and Arms in the raid (but no rogue) who takes the smallest dps loss to apply and maintain Sunder? I.e who should do it for the good of the raid
What is best dps arms or fury in phase 1 and phase 2?
Oh shoot thanks for all the tips! Do you have any opinions on the viability between deep prot and the UA build? Like i don't have a guild so im likely only going to do dungeons, which would be better?
anyone got gearscorelite?
it was working fine
but since the last couple days I cant inspect other people inventory
not talking about gs, i cant see their items
deep prot is a lot smoother to play.
Weapon skills up to 70, profs do not get touched at all
I tank heroics as UA and it's honestly better imo unless you know all your DPS are chads
Not necessarily
You’ll win on cleave fights
TFB bug kinda crazy. Fury already outperforming on logs lol
Is the icd broken?
ah okey ty,
so are arms and fury kinda equal ? i was checking logs and isee both. idk if fury provides any specific buff or debuff for the raid compared to arms
so if there is no feral i could just go fury instead of arms ?
Just play whatever you want man fury looks even with arms if you check logs
i dont mind, was just saying if there is no feral might just play fury to buff all the group since they are kinda equal
idk if blood frenzy is better than the 5% crit
Ya it is a 9s icd sometimes. Not sure what causes it(or fixes it)
Well it’s supposed to be 9s right?
Oh rip
It's only about a 4-5% DPS loss
Which is a lot depending who you ask but
We're already kinda bottom of the barrel DPS so it doesn't feel good lol
What is best dps arms or fury in phase 1 and phase 2?
Yeah at this point, you play arms if you don't have a feral/combat in raid or because you like it better
is there a dungeon farm 60-70?
Hello fellow warriors.
I wanted to know if dualwielding 1hweapon in Fury grabbing Death Wish and Rampage and then go to arms to get Poleaxe Spec and Sweeping strikes is viable or if any of you tried it?
I know at this phase arms is the way to go but its not really my style.
Actually while leveling i switched to prot cause im having way more fun and Maybe im thinking to keep it till ToC.
Anybody simmed how big the diff is for arms between the T7 4PC setup vs the leather setup?
Okay I just simmed it to be roughly a 100 dps loss to go for T7 4PC vs the leather setup
feral brings a debuff that increases all bleed dmg to target, combat brings a debuff that increases all phys dmg to target. arms brings both.
possibly good for cleave but can't imagine it competes in ST. TG fury is already outperforming anyway though
Thanks, will try out TG Fury then to see how it goes
how do i find the Hit Cap for fury warrior ?
Any of you warriors havea nice way of making gold at the moment?
I've tried HoS soloing but only seem to get 500g/hr
not gonna get much higher with any warrior raw gold farm
strat/bf/hol all hover in the same range
professions are still gonna net you a lot more at least for the next few weeks
idk. mining with competition isnt feelin like 500g an hour
i get about 500g/h worth of saronite alone in a hour
throw a scarlet ruby in there and you're at 800
used to be a lot more cause prices are already falling but ya
Guys is the Jorach's Croclisk skin belt better than Girdle of the Ascended Phantom the 10man naxx belt
if u need the hit > exp then no
so if im hit capped then 1st one is better
this may be a silly question. while doing pve. dungeons and such, should i be using leather gear that is an upgrade in pawn. i dont know much about the addon but its saying some leather/mail pieces are gonna be better for dmg
From a DPS perspective, sure why not but if you are taking hits a la questing then prob not
What is hit cap ?
hit cap = you wont miss your hits on the boss
i have the issue not having expertise cap lol
Does anyone have a swing timer w/a that actually works? I can’t seem to find one
Does shield block not completely double your shield block value? When I use it my block value goes from 954 to 1688
do you have to keep sunder up as dps if there is no prot war or rogue ?
In raid yes
Does anyone have a weakaura for bloodsurge to use slam instantly, so I dont have to look in the up in the upper right corner every time
Yo guys, im here coz I have some questions about my warr on wotlk
i use the SpellActivationoverlay addon
havent had any problems with it so far, should work for procs of all classes and specs
Hey guys, what are you using to sim your warriors in Woltk? Simc addon doesn't even seem to work on classic...
Awesome thanks
I was wondering, how trustworthy is wowhead on their bis list pieces for a warrior
So sims are telling me I should be getting 3k unbuffed dps and I can't seem to manage more than 2.4k consistently on a training dummy. I thought I was following the rotation/priority for arms, but it seems im doing something wrong
guys i have a problem neither castsequence neither just normal cast macro dont work in classic with these spells anyone have a solution im trying to use sunder armor when victory rush hasnt procced
Training dummy’s sometimes have higher armour, but I suspect you sim with raid buffs?
And on a training dummy you have no lust or raid buffs
Guys what do you think which talent tree is better rn for single target dps. I tried out 2 differents build and i dont see big diference, but im doing something wrong i assume
Compare The damage breakdown of the Sim versus your damage
Anyone have luck finding an instance farm for Prot Warrior that nets pretty decent cash? I'm not quite Pre BiS for Naxx, but finding myself needing a steady supply of gold for enchants and gems
You can also log the training dummy and ask in fight club discord
Strat/BF/HOL are all about 500g/h
BF prob the easiest to do
Whoa really? Selling cloth + DE greens?
Are you guys stacking strength gems or Armor pen? IIRC armor pen was king for both arms and fury all the way into ICC, anyone got any insight on this?
No
Not until you are at soft cap from gear, do you gen arpen
It’s is around 700-800
Only then it becomes more or equal value to strength
100% player arpen is only 75% boss arpen
You need the sunder (20%) and ff(5%) for the rest
are we talking with sunders? and when you say soft cap are you throwing in trinket procs potentially?
Which trinket
gotcha
And no
A 45 icd proc isn’t going to make gemming arp outweigh str pre softcap
the runestone
At the end of the day the math would be:
The overall arpen the trinket proc gives you plus your geared arpen
Then you can decide, but even that is finicky
Because fight lengths are different so you could lose or gain a trinket proc
well anything over 1400 would be a waste right?
yeah only in that 15 second window
Yea
is what i mean
It is a waste
But it might be better than the next best thing still
Like being 1/4% over hit cap kind of deal u know
The procs are pretty high so I’d say the proc brings you a little over cap, but for your deathwish or lust window, then it is probably worth it
I was wondering, how trustworthy is wowhead on their bis list pieces for a warrior
Sim it
If you can sim better with a different set, use that one
Bis is only bis if you have every bis piece, until then slots are subject to swaps if needed
str/crit is king right now
i wouldn't worry about arp until you at least get a grim toll
but even with the available gear right now, i wouldn't worry about using a grim toll until next phase
How would I go about doing this?
Can either get an addon or use the in game logging
And then join fight club and drop your whole shpeal in the look at log channel
The log is stored in a directory in your wow folder
There is a ton of documentation that explains it better than I, but once you do it once it will be much better
does this stacks if i put it on each weapon? thanks
so will be 800 attack power
lost grim to a retri lets gooo
any recommendation for an addon to help me with my rotations? i heard they are called sims? but i cant find anything good
Best thing you can do is read the rotation guide on wowhead, then practice on a dummy, then look at classic warcraft logs top patchwork naxx 25 warriors. Once you find one of the top 100 you like, you select casts. Finally you set the data to timeline mode and check out the intricacies of one of the best guy’s rotation and when he pops cooldowns
Thanks
Question, how should I go about doing sunders as a arms warroir? would it be better to do rend-sunder(till 5)-overpower(when up) or should I get in some slaims or ms while doing it?
Does anyone know of an addon that tracks what design patterns (JC) you have, what you don't have, and where you can get them?
Would also like an answer to Troy’s question above about sunder
Also when do we shattering throw as Arms? On pull?
can u sim on wotlk?
At least on warmane, shattering can lower boss armor past 100% pen, so I think that’s the play
What means "champion" warrior on Warcraft logs?
If there are 3 targets to rend, do we rend all 3 targets? Or just 1 on primary
just 1
why do Journey's End and other staffs from later phases sim so well? Are they really bis for fury warrior (i assume its slight bait)?
im using mirror of truth as my trinket but not sure if i should use sphere of red dragons blood or meteorite whetstone
there are only 3 staffs a warrior can wield with dignity and none of them are for 40+ characters
hey everyone, what pots are you using for dps?
What is gladiator in warcraft logs? i thought that was a wod only thing
Something something warriors in the raid that are prot specced but not actually tanking anything in the fight. Naxx has some fights where that happens.
Should I go for set bonus first or something else with my first emblem of heroism purchases if I have these on
If i got full HC gear for prot warrior how good will it be to spam dungeons for gold farm? Or is pala just alot better to do that
@split urchin Running hcs, picking up BOEs for disenchant on an alt and selling mats, selling frozen orbs you either loot or buy with excess badges etc is decent gold atm on my server at least. Hell, even northern spices you buy with the cooking daily token is stupid money when raid hours roll up and everyone scrambling to pack their bags. Then you obviously can do any number of dailies for gold. Wotlk shits out gold from just playing the game, like straight up leveling an alt and just saving boes and cloth you find. Once professions are skilled, maybe a Nobles deck bought and 280% flying your just gonna pile gold up. There really isn’t any secret to it. Do whatever activity you enjoy and if you somehow document what gold your earning you can see what is most success. Only thing I do not recommend is gathering. Your competing your limited time vs bots infinite time. Unless you really wanna do some stupid shit like mine tin and sell it to lads skilling engi/bs or dads realizing only now that engineering is the best profession in the game 🤫
Wowhead guides has a recommended emblem of heroism purchase priority. Considering you can get around 50 emblems per day if your doing literally every heroic just buy whatever piece is your weakest. Commenting on the 2 linked items specifically I would suggest you buy tier chest and then gloves as these are not impressive. There is no heroic drop on par with emblem of heroism tier chest but there are very nice gloves from gundrak though. End of the day you’ll get everything if you just play the game so don’t stress it.
Thanks for the coherent answer
Go the classic warrior discord, sim tools there. Link to that discord in the pins in this channel @worldly narwhal
thank you bro
Gladiator is just warcraft logs way to seperate main tanks from off tanks to dps stepping in to tank. Gladiator specifically is when a warrior has majority talent points in Protection tree but fails to meet dmg taken treshhold on a specific encounter, defined by WCLs ruleset to be considered Main Tank. Basically, your typical off tank without a tanking job for a fight. There is also have Champion, which is when a warrior has majority talents in either Arms or Fury but meet the dmg taken requirement for a Main Tank. Might see a few of those if the Unrelenting Assault build grows in even more popularity as its quite good on a few fights compared to Deep Prot.
Use it whenever sunder/ea + ff is up during bloodlust window. Typically this would be within 5s of a pull. As arms your default dmg stance is battle stance so should be easy enough to pool rage prio to pull, sunder up if that is your job and then go. You sacrifice your personal dmg for insane raid buff so its 100 % worth. As fury you dps in zerker stance so it makes it a bit awkward. Either need to stay bstance and pool rage to get it off before you go zerker. This is when 3/3 tactical mastery is quite handy as you can macro /cast battle stance /cast shattering throw in one button to immediately swap stance and still have enough rage.
Ea + ff?
expose armor and faerie fire
And do we actually use shattering throw in pve?
Yes ofc, its massive
Didnt know, thought it was purely a pvp skill to remove ice block, shield etc
What does it do for the raid
remove armor, stacks with sunder/ea + ff
Is rend bugged? From time to time I cannot refresh it because “there is a more powerful spell active”
Might be snapshotting your trinket
Only thing I could think of
But why refresh it early? You lose a tick
its if i refresh it at all, id rather just leave it up. The way it was workijng for me last night was that i had to let it fall off
So for arms is axe spec light years ahead of mace spec for P1
At least for dk, they get to their dot reup in their rotation the moment it falls off
Idk but I suspect it may be like that for warrior
do you guys see any channels where you can talk in fight club discord
hey guys, is there a discord specially for wotlk classic?
or is this channel all we got?^^
Fight club
Guys, i don't know why this is so hard for me. But i don't know how to properly HS in my rotations. Can anyone help me out XD
Fury*
nice, is there a link somewhere, or can you post it?^^
nvm, found it. thanks a lot!
I have the same issue, only when theres -3s left on the debuff, i try to refresh it since i know i wont get an op proc from the last tic
Looking at the 2nd best arms warrior in patchwork, he does not worry about rend refreshes, he seems to just use it as filler
He has only 84% uptime, and also notably used a shattering throw for execute phase
He only has maybe 2 well timed refreshes, otherwise he was prioritizing other casts
You can look at the cast timeline
You never refresh rend before it finishes it’s duration. Also taste for blood is confirmed bugged and blizzard has more or less admitted they have no plans to fix for it so y’all have to live with it 😊
hello guys, can someone link me a working stance dance macro that works with same weapon? i used the one below until now, but doesnt work with same wep
/cast [nostance:2] Defensive Stance
/equip [noequipped:shield] Bulwark of the Noble Protector
/eq [noequipped:shield] The Interrogator
/cast [nostance:1] Berserker Stance
/equipslot 16 Colossal Skull-Clad Cleaver
/equipslot 17 Colossal Skull-Clad Cleaver
Is it the /eq line?
That whole macro looks weird
Ok for same wep
You can’t use a macro, unless they have a different enchant
Even then you need a addon to get the id of the item with the enchant
I assume you have two of the same weapon?
Usually, you just put the weapon on an action bar and macro the shield equip with shield block or something
Refreshing rend doesn't have prio over spending procs or risking overcapping on rage
Which can happen often with crit autos
ya
arms questions - is it worth rending all targets in a 2-3 target scenario?
Nah I think you just rend 1 for the OP proc, you’re gonna lose a lot of rage value doing that
Esp because the proc has an icd so it’s not going to proc more
And rend does low dam
Use eightyupgrades. Easy to see what items there are and their source for each slot
Filter by phase to see what’s available rn and what to look forward to in future raids
wait how is it bugged
Yo ! Sorry to bother you, just wanna know. As dps (fury or arms) what is your thoughts about
Bandit's Insignia vs Grim Toll ?
Ty
the build in wowhead for fury got updated ? in talent builds it went for 52 fury 19 arms with deep wounds but now i see it changed to fury 55 prot 8, is this build better for phase 1 ?
Not sure what you are looking at? I see 19/52 with a lil comment on the talent build
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/guides/classes/warrior/fury/dps-talent-builds-glyphs-pve
if you go to bis gear phase 1 and click talents and glyphs next to gear in the middle, it now shows a new build. previously it had nothing there but now it shows this so i was confused if this is a better new build or what
The default sim settings for fury use the same 19/52 as refered to in the talent chapter of the wowhead guide. The talents selected in the P1 fury bis setup also lack Glyphs. I am gonna guess it was forgotten to change glyphs/talents as the chapter covers the items and not talents
If your unsure, leave a comment on wowhead. Intiuitively it makes no sense to not trust the info provided in the talent section
Maybe the author was tinkering, who knows
i guess
i dont think 3 points in incite is better than the arms talents
you waste alot of good talents
Hence I think it was just some tinkering that was forgotten
sim yourself if your unsure
heroic strike is my biggest dmg atm so i can see the idea but you just lose alot from arms
oh i didnt know that page
is there some auto import or i gotta do all manually ?
Doesn't look correct that you have HS as highest dmg. WW and BT should be top. Looks like your not spending rage correct
no idea, im pressing them on cd
i could be doing something wrong
i swapped from arms few days ago
i did like 80 heroic strikes idk how
and its shorter than gothik
i did 24 only in gothik
I see 10 cpm on BT so thats excellent
There you go, I learned something new. Didnt play dps warrior in Wrath yet, only prot
im checking all fights
some fights its top dmg some others its not
idk why tbh
rng ?
i guess same for loatheb ? the dot gives me rage ?
but you have juiced up crit from the spore buff so you get more rage that way
patchwerk ? i take 0 dmg
details is generally useless for dmg breakdown imo. i prefer looking at cpm on logs. as long as buttons are used on cd you doing as well as one can expect
rest is optimised cd usage and having correct buffs and debuffs
i see
one last question, should i remove rampage and put 1 extra here if we alrdy have a feral ?
well then you dont ave 5% crit when your doing heroics, maybe 10mans or just goofing around in the open world/pvp
UW is incredibly minor. I would wager if you didnt even have it specced you wouldnt even notice a diff
If you have the luxuary of running double fury tree's then why not
cool, i wasnt sure how much extra rage it actually gives since it doesnt say
oh, i guess 1 extra point is not that much
might as well not even bother
like what 1 or 2 extra casts i guess
how do i add another socket from my blacksmith ?
Under settings then there is a box to change race and professions
oh

How much defense do i need to tank hcs ?
Dont need to worry about it, use the best tank oriented gear you habe (block rating, block value, defense, parry, dodge, stam and str)
Okay, serious question. Do I need to be sundering?
For the prot warrior: Can anyone explain why in so many guides/builds talent points go into Deep Wounds but not in Cruelty? This obviously a dps and tps loss.
This is not a tps and dps loss, why the guides include impale & dw.
Prot gets 15% crit on their main abilities in like one talent in the prot tree lol
That’s why 5 talents for 5% crit isn’t really worth
But 3 points for 48% of a fast weapons base dmg over 6 sec are worth it? You got to be kidding me.
What?
Thats ultimately guild politics. The debuff is a massive raid and personal dps increase so even if you dont value the team aspect you are self-cucking not having it up. My advice (as general as it can be):
5 sunders as solo dps warrior takes 7.5s assuming you will have the rage to use it as soon as gcd allows (5x 1.5). So thats your reference for comparison.
- Can 1x rogue get EA up quicker? Most likely yes. No rogue and solo warrior? Then you Sunder
- Prot warrior + 1 dps warrior in the raid? Sunder, regardless if you have rogue. Prot applies 2x stacks with Deva. 5 stacks up in 3s: 2 gcds for deva, 1 gcd for sunder
- 3 dps warriors? Sunder. 2 gcds each. Regardless if you have rogue
- 2 dps warriors? 3 gcds. coin flip if a rogue won't do it quicker
Weather it be through EA or sunder + ff, you need 30% armor debuff on the boss at all times
Show us the math why Deep Wounds is less tps & dps than 3% crit. If its feelscraft you do your thing, I can lend you a crayon.
With Last Laugh from Kel'T. Deep Wounds dps is less than 25.
You can't tell me that a 5 or even a 3% crit increase do add less dps.
I mean you do you m8 its ait
If you crit thunder clap on 15 mobs and get deep wounds on even half its absolutely coked out tps and dps
#1 KT prot warrior log has DW account for almost 10% of his dmg or 360 dps. No way 3% crit will add more than 360. Dont even need to do crayon maths to confirm it
Who is talking about trash? These builds are raid boss tuned.
Your trolling dude 😄
Naah.
Seriously who does pick talents cause he is fighting trash or adds?
Seems alright tbh
280dps
3% crit probably isn’t 280 dps, idk
This man is self calculating deep wound dps and doesn’t even know how it works lol
It also works like this on warmane so chances are this is how it’s working right now on classic
Maybe do some research before having a public freak out in this channel about 3 talent points lol
Oh well. Yeah of course this changes everything.
Alright thanks for this explanation!
where can I find a correct BIS list for P1? I find different list everywhere x)
Is there any point at all in considering which proc trinket is in which slot? I assume they both can't proc at the same time, so assuming you pop CDs on pull the strongest proc effect would technically be best to put in the first slot - Or?
What spec?
Usually fight club has a bis list excel for every warrior spec
But tbh p1 gear is just a matter of ilvl and stat caps, so whatever you need to reach those
Fury 🙂
its ok using mail items? or i should focus plate?
Most mail items have intellect which is really bad
Probably equivalent to a pvp item
For a warrior
Leather and plate will be your best bet
i would need for a leather or mail item if its a upgrade?
isn't there a stat bonus if i wear full plate?
thanks mate
trash is just as much time spent in naxx than bosses are lol
you're trolling if you think trash clear isn't important
Naxx has a shitton of trash
Does anyone know the parry chance of mobs at 80, 81 and 82?
whats a good specc for lvling from 62 and at end game?
Hey! anyone knows whats the best for me? i have Betrayer of Humanity (25 man nax) and Black Ice (10 man eoe) but i dont know wich i should use on main hand and wich on offhand. i read that the one with highest dps should be in main hand but dont we miss the Dual Wield Specialization talent? that gives 25% more damage to offhands?
Betrayer main hand
Offhand untalented does -50% damage iirc
oh so with talent it still does -25% dmg?
Cant use polearm with titans grip sir
Uh. Yes you can
Ye bud but its a bug in the classic client
You gain nothign from it, quite the opposite
Polearm = not a thing for fury
More so was speaking to the fact you said he can’t. You absolutely can but like it shows it’s absolutely not the right play because of the bug.
Does Cruelty (+5% crit) affect Thunderclap and Shield Slam?
I cant acces that link
Its semantics dud. Didn't mean you can't physically do it in the game, but can't as in it won't work advantagous for your gameplay
Always best to clarify for some as he may not have known. 👍🏼
No one knows?
Cruelty effects shield slam and thunderclap. Thunderclap considered ranged attack.
Okay. Was wondering cause someone said it would't cause the tooltip sais "melee weapons".
👍
I've been looking at the patchwerk logs for high-parsing Arms to see how they perform their rotations relative to the guides (icy and wowhead) and i'm seeing some inconsistencies that it would be great to understand (if anyone can help). Here's an example high parse (https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/t6bmMd9q3VgBGL74#type=damage-done&fight=3&source=26&view=timeline).
- He/she is using heroic throw (not in the rotation guide)
- He/she is regularly using both Mortal Strike and Slam (I thought we just spammed Slam as our filler when we have the 2pc and at t7 / low gear)
- There is no sunder from the warrior and in-fact no sunder effect from any warrior or rogue in the pull (https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/t6bmMd9q3VgBGL74#type=auras&fight=3&spells=debuffs&by=target)
I'm trying to figure out whether I should ignore the guides, go 3/3 mortal strike (instead of incite) and introduce Heroic Throw into my rotation. Also - I'm really confused why these guilds aren't asking someone to sunder. Any thoughts would be appreciated
(im trying to parse well because im competing with one other warrior for the only dps warrior spot in our raid)
- The wowhead guide is a stepping stone, nuances to minmax will not be covered in the scope of these guides. Can't recall if Heroic Throw is off GCD but it has no minimum range so excellent choice to fill free gaps or free GCDs. Arms warrior used it twice so its hardly a priority and its 1min CD anyways. Added 38 dps. Seems like doing first one as you run in but before you connect is good choice.
- There are two suggested builds. One with Inicite and the other subspeccing further in to Fury. The arms warrior in the linked log is 55/8/8.
- No Sunder/EA is definitely yikes, even good guilds can be sloppy but doesn't look as bad when you kill the boss in 2minutes.
- Regarding seemingly prioritizing Slam/other over MS is true. CPM on MS is barely 6. It could be 10 as its a 6s cd. Do note that Slam casts matches TfB procs: 17 TfB vs 21 slam casts. Only used 4 extra Slams as filler. If that is "Spam" I dont know if I can say
- Compare to the current #1 Arms rank for PW. By the guy who has written the guides: https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/FYC6QbX4dx72jrVW#fight=13&type=damage-done&source=25 MS cpm at 6.5, 17 TfB, 19 Slams. They also have Sunder so the linked example is clearly a misplay. Evanlyn didn't use Heroic Throw and still got #1 so it is not a deal breaker.
Wrath classic best low budged weapon enchant is actually Fiery Weapon
@charred wadi thanks! very helpful.
hey guys, what's the best chest between these two for fury warrior ? wowhead and others says the the plate is better than the leather one but why ?
isn't the armor pen better then crit rating ?
Probably depends on your current hit cap situation
But yes crit is going to be better than arpen since you have very little arpen this phase
See the stat section under fury or arms guides on wowhwead
Any reason why the top rank Arms https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/FYC6QbX4dx72jrVW#fight=13&type=damage-done&source=25 wouldn't
- use Shattering Throw? (e.g. on pull with Heroism or during execute range)
- use Recklessness? (e.g. just before a bladestorm or as tfb procs)
Not sure if Reck shows up in the log if you pop it before combat actually begins, but I woul expect to see it fade in the combat log. Can't give a good answer!
Regarding ST I think its safe to say its worth 100% worth on paper but figuring out how to use optimally is the challenge. I would guess and chalk it up to just week 1 things. A bit lazy or simply focusing on other stuff
It might be a dps loss for the caster
precasting is usually the play but you need some coordination for that
Fiery weapon enchant new bis?
Thought it'd be more alive in here with the firey weapon stuff going on
Came in to ask if Deep Prot benefits from it too instead of Mongoose.
Same, from what I read it looks like double fiery on weapons with some Fiery gauntlet item being the new best pair of gloves. Im not 100% tho.
I'm not seeing anything online about Deep Wound procs having any sort of threat multiplier
So it probably isn't better for prot
Unless the dps is higher than with mongoose.
Prot likes the crit and dodge and haste from mongoose
And armor I guess
Deep wounds should be threat multiplied by defensive stance
Yeah but other than the defensive stance multiplier that applies to everything it gets nothing else afaik
Yea that would be not good for the dps specs if it did
yo does anyone know if arms is really better than fury? I've seen a lot of warriors making the swap lately and even though I'm still missing quite some gear arms does not feel great to me
pretty sure the dps difference isnt that big rn
moreso matters if your raid needs the blood frenzy buff from arms
Hey guys, what is this new meme all about?
Fiery is a thing because it's basically a means to roll your deep wounds more
You guys should probably pin a comment about the fiery plate stuff and have a bot mention it when someone types a keyword.
There's recent logs using it you can check. It's not really a crazy DPS gain. Simmers are estimating 80-400 DPS. The latter being during p4 tho
Gunna have a lot of people asking about it lol
This discord isn't very active with classic stuff tho. Fight Club has more discussion involving that
It's also something that falls off in aoe
But it's a ST increase
And cheaper than berserking
I’d say fiery wep is worth it, but the gloves probably not lol
The proc rate on the gloves is supposed to be very high. So if means more deep wound uptime it might just be worth
hey guys
question about tank warrior
Shield Wall Glyph is the way to go for raiding, right?
i think you just have waaay too little options without it
i cant stop thinking about putting it everytime i see the huge cd
what glyphs are you running in general?
I have to take out either 2 target SunderArmor or 3 target Cleave
Did you mean to say Devastate?
the glyph is called
sunder armor
but applies with devastate too ofc
its the one where it sunders 2 targets instead of just main target
is fury suppose to be using sunder for boss fights if no other warrior is present?
yes
Do you ever use it in dungeons due to fight length? or is it mostly just value in raids?
gotcha, thanks!
That’s more of a fight club thing
nvm im just stupid
stuff dies too fast in dungeons, just shattering throw for burst but dont waste globals getts sunder up
you can always just fill an open global if you have one tho why not
but you'd rather just slam
Shattering throw is a 5 min CD Right?
yes
i cant see any of the top parses using sunder is it worth using?
https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Agyd2xtvh9L7b3fC#fight=19&type=casts&source=33 this guy used sunder and shattering
aha found the setting on wcl thanks dude
was looking through the logs and was like wtf
cheers
Here’s a top fury log where I couldn’t find anyone casting sunder or EA, but someone must’ve because it shows to have been a debuff up on the boss
was the tank a warrior
Nah
is 7% hit bad even with the 3% talent ? i just got tier shoulders but lose hit
Ah, shows on the timeline
Whatever means necessary you need 8% hit
oh ok. i got scared i had 7% but i forgot about the 3% from talents, idk if its showed in the ui or not since it just said 7%
so im actually 10.6% ?
Yeah
Can also check a log to see if you’ve missed anything(if you’re arms and only in pve)
Then you would specifically need to check your yellow hits individually in a pve log, if you’re still worried
can i go check that in dummy ?
i think details shows this too right ?
Idk
is there any official info about the fiery thing being fixed?
