Bring SMF Back into the LIGHT

I firmly Believe That single minded Fury should make a comeback During the anniversary since its the 20th anniversary Might as well Bring SMF is only need a minor buff of 5% damage overall and 20% dmg with 1h auto attacks to compete with the 2h and just be more fun overall

IF you agree and love this idea lets make it happen fellow warriors! lol

Last time I remember SMF being any good was first tier of Cata. Warrior has never felt right ever since they removed Fury from Fury and made TG better than SMF.

Just let warrs transmog 1h weapons onto 2h. Its not like if its new technology, its already ingame (feral and guardian druids can tmog 2h weapons into “2” 1h weapons, via Artifact weapon transmogging)

Nobody wants SMF please roll another class

I have to agree with the rest of the thread. Very few actually want SMF apart from being able to xmog 1h weps. SMF only serves to divide the spec and makes it tougher for the devs to make fury cohesive.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET IT DIE ALREADY.

seriously how many of these ******* threads do we need before it sinks into peoples heads SMF is never going to be good, seriously it was brought back because people won’t stop ******* ******** that it was gone in legion because blizz went with the superiorer loadout in 2handers they even shrunk the weapons because people complained that they were too big.

For SMF to work they would need to buff the hell outta it and the moment they brought a weapon out with a dps proc it would need to be nerfed into the ground so they arn’t going to do that just let it die already it’s trash and will forever be trash because you give up way to much in the way of stats, dmg and stam.

He has a pally transmog. This guy is clearly a ret pysop

That won’t work as SMF paced much faster than TG. SMF majority of it’s damage use to be from auto attacks, doubt it is anymore.

Well, that not even close to accurate. Lots of people like SMF, you know in vanilla what the most popular OH weapon was for Fury? But, TG is definitely the more popular choice, so I don’t see this ever happening.

warriors would be mad at this if they could read

There was a point in during ToT it was on equal footing at the same ilvls, but similar to Cata, the end boss 2 hander pushed it aside.

ToT was the best, I remember my guild had nobody who used 1h str weapons, so I got every single 1h drop for xmog/smf :rofl:.

On topic though, SMF’s passive should be removed and Fury warriors just have a passive that makes 1h weapons 2h weapons in stats (2x stats, 1.325x weapon dps, Auto Attack speed changed to 3.6s, cantrip effects not effected by this at all) so that all this nonsense topic can be left alone like the beaten dead horse it is, since people will be able to use w/e they want and even mix between 2h/1h in a given tier or if they just like the mog of a 2h/1h combo.

There is no difference in speed. Both are locked to the GCD.
The only people that want SMF is people that want 1 hand mog or some other cosmetic reason. Make it a transmog and this argument is over and done.

The reasons I want it have little to nothing to do with aesthetics. I’d just love (assuming SMF were baselined since it’s a damage loss even before considering its talent cost) to be able to swap playflows or perk-capacities without needing to swap talents about.

:: Oddly enough, though, even that’d be a reason to allow 2Hs to be transmogged to 1H (and vice-versa)… and to then base whether you benefit from TG or SMF on the transmog, rather than the actual weapon. Just as one might then allow for Axe/Sword/Polearm/Mace perks for Arms based on transmog rather than the actual weapon.

SMF and TG play the same. SMF just wastes talent points and has a lower dps range.

I never said they had distinct gameplay at present. I’m not happy with how they work at present. I said nothing to imply that I was. Even my mentioning any benefit to it was conditional.

You said no one wants SMF for anything but aesthetic reasons. I want an SMF that provides a playflow or capacity distinction, not just a difference in aesthetic. Across other threads you will see a similar desire for choice beyond mere aesthetic. So, no, it’s not quite purely a single motive.
