Fury vs Ret

[tomxoqt]

What is the strongest for solo-play now? If ret can take on fury these days, I'm interested. It couldn't when I last played, and this is my plate melee bracket.

with ramstein and naglering nerf incoming , well geared ret still won't take well geared furry warr without burnin all cds (bubble+racial+HoJ+????)

In the days of sulthraze it was a toss up because that weapon just made fights unpredictable with its procs. Rets have the strongest weapon now for 1v1 (runeblade) it's avg is 450-500 hp heal every 5 seconds, so just 20 seconds into a 1v1 and you've gotta burn through close to 2k more hp of the ret. Fight starts going south for some reason you've got shield of vengeance, BoP and bubble still and if you can juke a kick your flash of lights are huge. Warriors are still a powerhouse but they're not unbeatable, both you'll find success in solo Qing.

Thanks Alice, both sound fun. I think I'll level my ret and try out this new warmode Alliance exp bonus thingy that people have been chatting about. Not looking forward to doing the Rivendare grind again!!

I play ret and two guys I play with are fury, we're pretty evenly matched (minimal food/pot buffs) in a duel. Now that is me being slightly better geared + enchanted and not having the Runeblade yet. When I'm in a BG I can normally take a warrior no problem by myself with the right buffs. One big help is that newer +10 stat and xp gain pot that you can buy for the new currency from the AH and DS world quests.
