Warrior Gear Sets

[La'Haryl]

Trying to decide weather I should go for higher str/stam or cit. Opinions? This is for fury. I usually play arms but I've been testing fury. I got comfortable with crit for arms because I can usually burst down healers like, super quick.

Left one.

i would take the crit set but im not exactly an expert on warriors

Thanks for the feedback. I feel arms is too rage starved with BAR so I'm going to do some tests once I get my DW BOA's and I'll get back to this.

Thanks again.

At least in my experience, you're going to need a lot more hit to make DW work. Wish you hadn't sacrificed Broadaxe of the Horde for a mog piece. Probably should start farming for Razor's Edge.

Edit: I guess you can still do a GM conversion.

 

[La'Haryl]

GM's don't swap quest rewards anymore. I have a Razor's Edge, dropped from a chest in WC. Just need my BOA sword.

Horde simply doesn't have the amount of hit to support DW fury. I'd go with crit set w/BAR The only way i see DW being viable is if you sacrifice crit and AP to get the rogue looms.

Its all up to you though. IMO crit set of the 2

Just play 2H Fury if you're BiS.

 

[Pookums]

In MoP the amount of hit needed is being reduced, may wanna keep that in mind (in reference to an earlier comment).

Yeah, I was in a funk earlier yesterday but I played some really good games with Hu and Phron last night and I was just wrecking in 2H fury. I suppose I just miss the burst of arms. I can't really kill healers as quickly anymore or at all. I usually stale mate with them, they can't do anything but heal and I can't kill them so at least it's good that I can lock them out of the game until help comes after killing DPS (since no one can attack healers right out). But that's the main thing I liked about Arms, No one hardly ever goes for healers and in Arms I could solo almost any healer. And while peeling for the FC is nice in some games what goes after the FC are 2-5 hunters and I can only slow down the group once before they start hopping around like crack-frogs.

I'll just play both fury and arms from time to time. Thanks for all the input, everyone!

I believe that crit set would be amazing in premades. Sacrificing 100 hp and 10 top end for 5% crit ain't that bad. Fortitude takes care of the HP issue .

 

[La'Haryl]

Yeah, I did a test run and out of 134 hits 44 were crits. On Fury that's ridiculous considering you regularly hit for 190-230 and crit for 380-450+. My lucky shots would take down players with 1200+ health in 3-5 swings and my opponent was slowed so they couldn't get away from me. Not to mention talents put Bloodthirst at 35.20% crit which is why I think recount had me at 134/44.

I got more KB's and Flag Returns as Arms but I also spent more time in the graveyard which was expected. I could kill most healers or at least keep them from healing others in my BiS set, but using my crit set no healer could survive the sustained burst that full crit arms can put out. Problem was staying in range with my opponents, but you'd actually be surprised how many people will ignore you and let you just charge right in to kill their flag carriers. I literally got flag returns in crowds of 2-3 allies.
