EU+US 49 warrior in prepatch as of now.

[Thàtguyyounoxxx]

Through extensive testing and a lot of grinding for 'bis' gear, it would appear that arms is the superior spec overall. It's damage scales better than fury's with the correct gear (of the quick blade).

The only real downside to arms is the fact that it is very 'proc' reliant, meaning that your damage is garbage until your weapon (Sul'thraze) and enchant (Crusader (Still bis enchant)) proc. Fury does not have this issue, however, even with full procs, cannot put up the same numbers that arms can, and what makes fury so good right now is the fact that it's self-healing is unmatched by almost every other class at 49 right now, with a few exceptions (Ret Paladin, and healing specs).

In conclusion, arms is still the superior spec when it comes to damage. It's sustain is very lack luster unless you take the talent Impending Victory. However, this is not needed if you play with a pocket healer, or do not over extend yourself like a lot of warriors do.

I would say it probably depends on the BG and also on how much opportunity for AE damage there is... because even with sweeping strikes, Fury just crushes Arms for damage in AE situations. I'd agree with @Thàtguyyounoxxx that arms is the superior PvP spec--the single target burst is just really solid--but I also think Fury can top meters in the right situations, and put out solid pressure when the enemy team stacks up.

i disagree, https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/doomhammer/balr getting close to BiS never been 2nd place on dmg in a bg 3xx base STR , 4x Crusader procc 70% uptime withour problem as fury transfering atleast 1 Destiny tomorrow 163str procc , zulthraze + destiny + another destiny + (preferably princess mace) on macro u can maintain atleast 700+ str all the time even with bad luck on proccs and close to 1000str with all 4 crusaders+sword proccs up

Sorry to jack the thread, but what is that +7 stamina enchant in ur shoulders? Where'd you get it?

 

[Yung Flurry]

Heavy knothide leather make sure u enchant it on a higher toon before u equip ur shoulders and ur good to go

Hell yeah brother, thanks!

 

[kkaabb]

maybe not the best option for warrior but is Flame Wrath still obtainable for lvl 49?? stil

... and close to 1000str with all 4 crusaders+sword proccs up

what weapon swap macro are you using, and how do you know which weapon the enchant procs from?

Flame wrath is available, yes, but it's probably not the best idea to use it all the time. AoE breaks CC, you know.

@Serjeant are you 100% sure that Destiny procs stack if you use two of them at the same time and that it doesn't just refreshes itself like malowns slam?

I have no idea how this works but I want to learn it on arms. I play as 59 arms and I only use destiny. I am almost always first on dmg and killing blows but if I can get my damage even more up then pls teach me

 

[Samadius]

@Serjeant holy s... it does indeed stack.. im a bit lazy with the macro part though. do you mind sharing it? and btw does sulthraze scale to lvl now? and what is better, x2 destiny or x1 destiny + 1 sulthraze for fury do you reckon?

Make item set and use equip macro.
You have to make and save an Item Set, I just called it 2H then made this macro, only problem is you have to keep the item set up to date. But this is the only macro I've found that works.


/equipset 2H

All I know is that I am having some of the most fun I've ever had in this game playing fury and stacking up deathwish to 10 stacks and just running around 2 shotting everything I see.
