Strength Stacking

[Gexceour]

So I want to know your thoughts on strength stacking, Ive been trying to figure out ways to stack str and I've had a few ideas that i think will become successful such as getting the Earthbound girdle of Strength and Using the valor set. So i want to know your thoughts, will you think that this is a good idea?

stack crit, not str

Want a guide of gear u need? or just asking if its viable?

The only thing i wouldnt see not being viable would be chest&wrist.

The reason im stacking str is because i see so many with 5+ str 5+ stam and 5+ crit and i see it overused and i want to try something different, its obvious tht we cant oneshot at this lv and its all about burst but i want to hit hard....

I already know wht gear i need to stck str, but wht do u mean about my wrists? i know my chestpiece wont work and my shoulders so thts why im goign to grind honor to replace them

go back to wotlk and get rift bracers and then come back.

There another probelm with the strength stacking set u wont be hit capped.

9strength chest over 8strength - 8stamina - 7crit, doesnt seems viable. And dont forget they scale in bg so u would get same strength.
But u are making strength set for PvP right?

5strength wrist over 4strength - 5stamina - 2hit, doesnt seems viable.

Tbh this isnt viable for arms cuz the 10%increased dmg compensates the extra strength from strength set.

And for Prot u basicly have 1 high dmg ability which scales really bad with strength and it will be even worst in 5.3.

your question was answered, it is crit too keep enrage up. why ask the question if you intend on ignoring the answer? there is a reason people use stam/stren/crit gear.

go back to wotlk and get rift bracers and then come back.

since u are going there... dont forget chausses of westfall.

that would be for a stren set, not crit.

 

[CripzBlood]

i did the math and... u would gain 11strength-1stamina considering u already have Polished Chest&Shoulders.
And lose 22stamina-17crit-2hit.


Tumultous Cloak of battle or of bear? i did it with of bear one.

Strength+Stamina and ordinary BiS gear is the best for an arms warrior. Don't stack crit, you'll only have 20% crit if you do and your normal hits will hit like a noodle. Your BiS gear anyways will give you roughly 12-13% crit, which is enough to rely on whilst not wasting damage.

But if you want to stack strength, be my guest, I don't get why people prefer a 20% chance to crit, 80% to hit low rather than ordinary where you have a decent chance to crit and good damage outside anyways.

Don't stack crit

Ah I see, you already went back to wotlk...
