Hello, I recently decided to get into the 29 bracket and while I was browsing Wowhead and also looking at peoples armories, I had a few ideas on what a good setup would be, and I noticed no one is using this setup, it could be because they don't want to faction change or they know something I don't. My understanding is that as a fury warrior crit is very important, and so is str, but crit is a little more important because you are primarily relying on crusader procs to get your str and so what little crit you can gain at the expense of some str would be worth it in the long run. So here's my idea on a setup:
Head: Deep Reach Helm - Item - World of Warcraft ( Second highest mail crit giving helm, the first highest, sunblaze coif gives 2 more crit but no str. This helm gives the highest crit while also providing some str and stamana. Boa helm has NO crit, only haste, dispite what the tooltip says!)
Alternatives:
Sunblaze Coif - Item - World of Warcraft
Frostreaver Crown - Item - World of Warcraft
Polished Helm of Valor - Item - World of Warcraft
Shoulder: Polished Spaulders of Valor - Item - World of Warcraft
Body:Polished Breastplate of Valor - Item - World of Warcraft
Legs: Barechus' Greaves - Item - World of Warcraft OR Polished Legplates of Valor - Item - World of Warcraft
Wrist: Commanding Bracers - Item - World of Warcraft
Belt: Felbane Belt - Item - World of Warcraft OR Earthbound of the soldier, same exact stats.
Gloves: Earthbound Grips - Item - World of Warcraft OF the soldier ( 7 str, 7 stam, 7 crit)
Boots: Caverndeep Trudgers - Item - World of Warcraft
Alternative: Boots of the Hero - Item - World of Warcraft
Rings: Band of Raptor Teeth - Item - World of Warcraft X2 ( Requires faction change to obtain both)
Neck: Eternal Emberfury Talisman - Item - World of Warcraft
Weapon: Bloodied Arcanite Reaper - Item - World of Warcraft X2
Back:http://www.wowhead.com/item=55929/skull-scorched-cloak ( In comparison to boa, you gain 1 crit, and lose some haste, str, and stam)
Alternative: http://www.wowhead.com/item=122260/worn-stoneskin-gargoyle-cape&bonus=0
Trinkets: http://www.wowhead.com/item=19024/arena-grand-master X2 if human, if not human, one AGM with http://www.wowhead.com/item=122371/inherited-insignia-of-the-alliance&bonus=0 OR of the horde.
( AGM still provides one more stamana than http://www.wowhead.com/item=122530/inherited-mark-of-tyranny&bonus=0 at this level, making the agm Best in slot) ( you could use http://www.wowhead.com/item=122361/swift-hand-of-justice&bonus=0 for the extra haste/dps increase, but as we have sacrifised some stam by giving up boa gear for blues that award more crit, I think the AGM's make up for the loss of stam.)
Couldnt figure out how to set the boa items to level 29, but the reason I have some lower level quest blues as bis instead of them is simply because the blues offer more crit, at the cost of a couple str or a few stamana points. With this build you still have well over 4k hp, which is on par with the f2p accounts, and only a few hundred hp below other 29's, but you have almost the max amount of crit while still using mail gear that provides str and stamana, thus not giving up too much AP to hit like a wet noodle, or enough stam to get one shot.
This is my thoery on a new viable fury warrior setup that focuses on maxing out crit, but while at the same time providing enough str and stam to hit hard and stay in the fight. If you guys have any improves or a different opinion on gear, I would love to hear them.
