Is Kang still viable?

[Strydar]

I have a 48 Warrior that I started trying to twink over 2 years ago - and just left him neglected in the corner. However, I did buy and equip Kang, but I'm not seeing many builds out there that still use it. Thoughts?

 

[Falkor]

sure its viable....



but its not the best. executioners cleaver or the BoA axe are better axes for sure.



and i've been messing on my warrior with mace spec + ragehammer, and sword spec + stoneslayer; just got bored of the cookie cutter arms for a bit.

It's still good, but there are better (and there's always been).

What are your thoughts on the proc?

 

[Lepidosteus]

Useless, compared to what you're missing from the other weapons.

 

[Twinkytoes]

Your normal fights don't last 30 sec anyway

 

[Falkor]

the proc sucks. it's too low to justify having and would only be worth while against a rogue, but odds are it wont proc + if you're arms and not using rend you fail. hard.



if you have a lvl 80, farm badges for the BoA axe. if not scour the AH for a reasonably priced executioners cleaver. if you want to be off beat, farm the last boss in ulda for his mace/sword and have fun!

What is the way to go if you want to go dual weapons?

 

[Falkor]

ribsplitter (of the bear/tiger/monkey/strength/etc.) + doomforged straightedge.



or ribsplitter + ribsplitter



or bloodrazor + ribsplitter



but thats for fury, DW arms just suckssssss, and when i say sucks i mean it sucks more than fury itself.

Is it just me or is Fury the "funnest" spec? I haven't been fury since well before wrath, but it was a lot of fun then. Sure it's damn near impossible to kill rogues, but I just enjoyed the hell out of it. It's the only build where you always have rage....discuss?

 

[Falkor]

sure you usually always have rage. but i dont find it fun, and ive play warrior since vanilla. i've always prefer'd arms, and with LK i like prot a lot too. the tree has been changed so much in the years, adding an ms effect, constantly messing with death wish/imp intercept, etc. but i still just dont like it =/
