Actually make SOD warriors feel like playing a real warrior
The multitude of warrior abilities in SOD, are heavily biased for 2hander no matter where or how you look at it. Instant slam, rended overpower, fresh meat, instant attack rune are all biased much more so for 2H
Now if you are fury, your burst damage is literally dummified in PVP, worse than a shield warrior. You die before getting to play in pvp
Buff dual wield to the point it could compete with 2handers in PVP bursts
My suggestion to bring back the OG feel of the game is
Slightly increase the one hand weapon damage bonus (minimum +25% mainhand weapon damage increase on the dual wield rune)
Significantly increase attack power damage calculation on blood thirst (minimum +50% damage)
Give blood thirst a mortal strike effect (-50% healing debuff), and an increased healing effect in percentage (2% healing per hit on blood thirst buff)
You’ve put all other classes on steroids in damage values, except for the fury warrior. You might as well make Fury warriors great again

Or instead of just fusing the identities of Arms/Fury as they have, actually separate them instead of giving Fury literally everything like they have been, and like you’ve been suggesting.

Fury warriors need a buff. Fury doesnt become good to play for PvP until Cata comes around ftmp.
Nah, Fury is doing just fine in SOD (both DW and 2h) for PvE DPS. You can even go 2H Fury in solo PvP if you want, just don’t expect to get into many AB pre-mades or Blood Moon groups without Mortal Strike since people with R13 gear/flask of the titans are pretty tanky, especially in BGs.
There’s only 1 warrior talent tree that could use some burst buffs, and its not Fury.
2H’s are fine, as explained. Though 2H warrior still does not compete with paladins
Dual wields are not fine in pvp,
Definitely needs dual wield rune buff for mainhand weapon damage +25% and probably offhand weapon damage as well
Bloodthirst could be modified to have much more damage as well, perhaps the +50% bloodthirst damage bonus could be enabled when using a one hand weapon instead or dual wield one handers
Bloodthirst could be buffed regardless of the weapon used, because a 2hander warrior still bursts less than a paladin or shaman gear being equal. I would lean more on fury dual wield specific buff, than a general buff though since most warrior sod abilities are much more so biased for 2Hands already
