BIG Warrior Question

I am making my first ever 19 warrior, Krankk, and have come across a bump in the road.



There is a huge decision I have to make between 2 reward items from the Battle for Hillsbrad Foothills quest chain.



I can either take Runic Darkblade



Or Deadskull Shield



Each would almost be best in slot, and each would be an asset to any warrior.





The Runic Darkblade would greatly increase DPS, and since the item level is 32, I am pretty certain that Shadow Oil and/or Frost Oil can be used on it, that combined with a fiery weapon enchant would make it have insane burst damage. Deadskull Shield coupled with the +7 stamina enchant will greatly increase health and therefore survivability.



I kind of want to focus on DPS, FC only when the team is TOTALLY full of scrubs, and maybe eventually tank for the twink raids my guild will be doing.



Any advice at all is appreciated.

I say for sure get the shield no questions asked... I know you want to focus on DPS but basicly you are much better off Sword n Board vs any other class then you are with a two hand.
 
Thanks a lot, I was sort of leaning towards the shield.



What I usually do is buy up random BoE blues on the AH just to try them out, and have about 6 different weapons on my warrior at the moment, planning on using 2h's for casters/healers to get them down quick.



I have problem with that though, regarding which to enchant with Crusader, I have:



Searing Blade (already enchanted with fiery just for kicks)



Black Malice



Sin'dorei Warblade



Cruel Barb



Butcher's Slicer



Thief's Blade



Yes, its a bunch >_>



But I don't feel like putting the 120g enchant on a weapon, then regretting it later =]



Thanks again,
 
If you need another opinion, I'd also go with the shield. My warrior uses sword 'n' board 99% of the time, and I'd kill for Deadskull Shield on Alliance, since my warrior's mostly stamina based and I FC a lot, usually capturing 2 flags a game since most Alliance go straight to the Horde GY these days. :cool:



You're going to find out quickly that the shield will be much more useful with all the hunters running around.
 
The shield, definitely.

for a 2hander i use the BOA axe with crusader, if you can't get BoA, i'd use either Night reaver if you can find it on the AH or smite's mighty hammer.
 
Thanks for all the help everyone,



I was sort of planning on sticking with the weapons I have now until I go on a farming spree in SFK, so out of those ones which should I throw crusader on?
 
to be completely honest none of them are really worth it, if you don't wanna spend the money on Night reaver, just get a couple DM runs for Smite's.
 
Smites better than Nightreaver so just get as many of those as you need, no use to buy a nightreaver (except for interrupting bandage trough bop in case you dont have sf). Weapon switching is rarely worth it so id just go with smites and crusader. Id take shield nowdays, but its not huge. Arctic buckler has better mitigation and 4 less stamina, Id use it with stamina enchant and switch to arctic with block after health used when fcing, thats it.
 
Yo im new to this site but got a warrior called Gorryzealer on Oceanic server Jubei'thos if u would like to armory him. I'm mainly set around full on Dps and use Bloodied Arcanite Reaper the BOA axe with 25 agi chant and it kicks the shit..... I would prefer u go shield for FC'ing for sure... a mistake that i made was not to get that shield..... as for a one hander to use with the shield imo would be Butcher's with crusader/lifestealing chant for larger survivability.
 
Thanks for all the help everyone, I have decided to go with the shield, haven't exactly gotten around to getting it yet though o_O been busy twinking a 60 disc priest.

That's what I have now, just missing shield, AGM, and fishing hat =]
 
Aye, I just needed to decide this for myself - rolling a new Warrior. As much as I'd love to beat face with Runic Darkblade, I know deep down that Deadskull will be more relevant in more situations. Smite's Mighty Hammer is a really powerful weapon already, but Deadskull is pretty far ahead of other shields. I plan on running with DS with Stam along with Redbeard with a Shield Spike.
 
Hold on, though. Can you actually use those Oils on the Darkblade? That would be quite interesting in Premades.

You have to have someone else put it on but yeah, oils are useable. Deadskull is very nice to have but if you're premading as an AP warrior it might be something to consider having Runic Darkblade.
