Fury warrior 2 1h or 1 2h?

Yeah went to the one in goldshire and didn’t have the option going to stormwind now to try that trainer

Thatll do it!

Warrior is definitely an investment, but its 1000% worth it. You’ll die while solo leveling A LOT but its sort of like, trial by fire and totally worth it. I personally think its the pure Classic leveling experience, and youre a monster at 60 with decent gear. If you stick with it when it gets tough, youll be rewarded

Oh also, dont be bamboozled by fast 2 handers with good stats. Damage range is more important than weapon DPS, and you want the highest average damage weapon you can get. Slow weapons >>> fast weapons, unless youre upgrading from a weapon you got 10 levels ago

Okay good note :smiley: Just found to change my spec its 1g hahahahaha don’t even have 10 silver since i spent it on training.

Hahaha yeah…luckily if youre still low level the spec isnt a HUGE deal. Just respec when you have the gold and it doesnt crush your cash stack, none of the early talents make a huge difference except for tactical mastery and anger management imo

Yay as a shaman I’m useful! :smiley:

No your not get out :stuck_out_tongue:

;_; Fine, no gambling windfury for you m8

Ye bb gimme dat windfury. Dont listen to the haters I still love you

So many arms warrior babies here who have no idea about the power of DW. Leveling a warrior dw fury in classic is so much more fun. 2 fast weapons the extra stats from 2weapons over just 1, the missing hits is a load of crap.

Let’s be real you are a warrior so trying to take higher lvl mobs or higher lvl quests regardless of spec is pretty stupid. Stick to mobs your lvl or under and you will always be hitting with your weapons. Weapon preference only matters if you are human then use sword or mace or orc then use axes, other races use whatever.

Best advice to keep lvling smooth is once you can run dungeons get a couple of lvls in those dungeons then farm the yellow and green quests snd repeat you will never have to take quests above your lvl keeping deaths to a minimum.

You have a 24% chance to miss against a same-level mob. You will find almost no hit gear while leveling. Unlike Rogues (who don’t have a chance to use a 2h anyway), you rely entirely on white hits to generate the bulk of your rage… more misses, fewer hits. Your Heroic Strikes will also hit for much less. Two weapons may sometimes have higher raw sticks, but the higher top end is much more important for your abilities as most use only your main hand for damage calculations.

As Arms you also get Axe spec, which is +5% crit and you’ll be using mostly axes anyway. Weapon specialization is nice but the +5% crit is nice and WW axe is far better designed.

Arms is also better to level 1-60 because at 40 MS is better than BT (hits harder at base), and the earlier talents are far better for flexibility and PvP.

The missing hits is definitely NOT a load of crap. You miss out on rage every time you miss, lose tactical mastery (which if you dont find mandatory, go play a rogue), and are overall less effective across the board. All the DW warriors i fight out in the world are literally kill on sight because they die pretty much immediately, and do literally half my dps in dungeons WHEN IM THE TANK unless theyre a higher level or pop death wish/recklessness, and even then they can only kinda come close to just matching my damage as Arms. I tanked dungeons successfully when the bosses were red to me up through Uldaman as 2h arms. Try fighting Archaedas at level 41 as the tank as DW Fury.

I also dont need to stick to mobs my level or below as arms. I’m successfully soloing elites 1-2 levels higher than me as arms (one at a time, granted), leveling in zones my level, and doing orange quests with no issues.

Please, PLEASE dont tell new players this nonsense. DW Fury needs hit and youre playing on hardmode if you level that way.

Not to say you cant level as DW fury, but youre straight up making your life 10x harder cause it looks cool

You also cant hamstring kite at all as DW fury, sooooo…its not as good as it was on private servers, but I’ve hamstring kited many a mob when I got low and won. As DW Fury, id just be dead no questions asked in those situations.

fury - 2 1h
arms - 2h wep

human warrior, use sword or mace
orc warrior, use axe
other race - doesn’t matter.

So much wrong information. Im just giving him a look at fury as an option as it is. Your biggest inaccuracy is dungeon dmg, death wish is part of a fury warriors kit so obviously they should use it especially if not taking dmg. Your next fail is that fury barely beats your dmg when you tank, you have mentioned you are tank and thus run in first and get a few hits before the fury warrior starts to unload, you do this getting extra starting hits on all the mob packs through the entire dungeon and still come out less dmg then fury.

Both builds require upkeep of good weapons so yes arms only needing 1 is a bit easier. Arms also has the same miss rate as fury except fury hits 2-4 times per arms hits so while it looks like more its not as exaggerated as they make it.

You say you take mobs, quests and elites above your lvl while also stating you die a lot. I told him about lvling with minimal death its his call how he wants to proceed on that.

Dont spread crap like fury is 10x harder. Yes if you are power leveling arms 2h is better due to finding single upgrade every so often but since its nearly 3 weeks in this guy obviously isnt and is taking a casual lvl approach which puts fury on even much more even grounds.

Dont forget bloodthirst has a nice heal attached to it so you dont need to keep stopping to rest after each fight like arms.

Quoted for truth. Pre-hit gear DW is a newbie trap. Just awful. I don’t even go DW in MC unless I’ve scored an Ironfoe or Edgemaster’s handguards.

The reports regarding “alliance can’t 2H fury” are all got garbage, too. Obsidian Edged blade is an incredibly strong start to MC, especially if you’re human. +13 Two-Handed Swords weapon skill has an insane effect on glancing blows. You will stomp fellow Alliance warriors on the meter who had to sacrifice all of their crit to make the hit cap, because they can’t keep flurry up and you can.

There’s a reason all the amazing DW warrior damage videos and parses feature info from AQ and onwards: itemization.

  • v. Level 60 mob: 5.0% / dual-wield: 24%
    • v. Level 61 mob: 5.5% / dual-wield: 24.5%
    • v. Level 62 mob: 6.0% / dual-wield: 25%
    • v. Level 63 mob: 9.0% / dual-wield: 28%

This is a flat out lie. For white attacks, you need 5% hit to 100% hit the mob with 2h, or 24% hit to 100% hit the mob with DW assuming it’s your level. Looking at hit rating vs. targets lower level is irrelevant as you shouldn’t be solely doing green quests, but it is still far in excess of what you will ever have.

BT heal is really weak and it hits like a wet noodle as you won’t have the AP to make it outdamage MS.

EDIT: You’ll need about 535 AP to have BT outdamage MS by 1 point. I don’t think that’s obtainable at level 40. This is more of an argument for 2h Fury vs. 2h Arms than DW, as you will not have the rage to BT near on CD if you’re DW.

If theres a Windfuhrer totem I’ll use my 2h, otherwise DW

Honestly, not a single thing I said was wrong.

You might want to go do some more Warrior research my friend

Use a 2h, or a 1h and shield. Don’t put points into dual wield before 60, it sucks and it’s slow.

Google 2 handed fury spec.

2h fury works. I would say that if you don’t have tactical mastery in the arms tree, you lose a lot of flexibility.

I always preferred arms though. Charge in to warrior, hamstring, tab to his healer, berserk stance, intercept, mortal strike.

Or save intercept for getting to an enemy near your healer.

You lose all rage stance dancing without tactical mastery.
