Warrior changes.

[Dubrub]

I have not played my warrior in about 6 months and just recently started playing again. Yes I am aware warriors are not the most viable class but they are still my most favorite class to play and I will continue to play him. My question is whats my best set up as an arms warrior now days? Some people told me crit is a warriors new best friend and that I should gain as much of it as possible. Is this true? If so have found a few pieces of gear that would be a nice upgrade please tell me if you agree or feel free to show me other items that would improve my outdated warrior. I am in the process of getting my BoA legs also.

Crit is a personal preference. Warriors can be very useful with a healer or some kind of support behind them. Solo they are not so great.

Your setup with BoA leggings is what many use. Put together a crit set and see how you like it. If you are not a fan keep what you are using now with BoA leggings

Not sure who told you that; warriors are perfectly viable.

Just about everyone says warriors are the worst class you could play in 19's unless you're just a straight FC. That is just a matter of opinions I imagine, Anyway back on the subject of gear changes and improvements.

True.

If you really want to stack crit, you should be using BoA ring + Stendel's Band, or 2x Stendel's if you don't have the BoA ring.

In other words, you're both right, and I am wrong for thinking of his statement in a different context.

I wouldn't make any of those changes, as a warrior in PuGs I'd stick with guaranteed damage (AP) and survivability (Armor and Stam).

because you have large amounts of Time on Target in a pug right

They are perfectly viable - not the most OP class.

Stacking crit would probably do less damage and ToT can be manageable with double time.

Not what Rance told me.

Some warriors also use Cobrahn's Boots - Item - World of Warcraft for the Crit rating.

Ur set is fine, just get the new BoA legs and pvp trink

i geared on crit because if you boost the chance for crits you increases burst momentum and since you don't have much tot (most of the time) you want to be lucky and put out as much crits (dmg) as possible and even if 5-6% crit makes no huge difference you push the chance nevertheless. You don't lose much ap but on the other hand don't gain much crit either. so it's basicly a question of preferences because no one really wants to make boring dps tests which gear is better because not many play warr and there is really not a huge difference in the overall dmg output. For me, it just feels right to have those ap converted into +crit.
