Hello, I am new to the game and torn between arms and fury, I really want to try arms but I feel like I am not prepared gear wise, currently I have 3 expedient IIIs and 3x test of might ready in case, however I am worried that it wont work out, I still do not have the right essences for either spec but I feel like they would be more suited for arms because I have a rank 3 lucid dreams, but I am still very close to getting rank 3 condensed life force, while at the same time I have a rank 2 Conflict and strife. I started very late during the expansion and unfortunately did not have enough time to grind the essences which I am still doing today, and my DPS suffers as a result. Should I just stack more severe 3s and gear my fury or move to arms?
Honestly just play what you enjoy most.
Both specs are good with arms being really good.
For me, fury is way too spammy. My hands and fingers get tired from spamming the buttons on my mouse.
I much prefer arms warrior because it’s less spammy and the hits feel like they’re powerful. Sometimes I’ll do protection warrior as well, but I’m not too big on tanking right now.
This is guide, Bajheera is one of the top rated warrior player in Arenas.
All 3 of those are good. Bajheera and Swifty are both experienced players . I’ve seen Magnusz in top ranks many times, he is only warrior you can see on first page of arena rankings.
I just recently tried arms after a few years… I was disappointed that I wasn’t that good at it. Maybe it was the gear, the spec, idk. But I have returned to fury.
Long story short. Play what you want to play. What feels good for you. Even then things can change. I was an Arms warrior for most of Legion. Fury for bfa.
I’m waiting for Test of Might to disappear so I can switch to Arms.
The last time I rolled as Arms was in MoP. It was steady, hard hitting, consistent…but imo slow.
But, it does look as for right now arms when decked out is top 5 DPS. Fury is trailing behind at just making it into top 10.
That being said, I still play as fury. For one, I like the self heals. it’s built in to my rotation. And like another said it’s spammy, I’m constantly clicking something. I enjoy it.
So when it comes to it, just play what you’re enjoying. It’s going to mean the most. I mean I rolled as prot from wotlk all the way until the end of wod and I rarely tanked. I pvped, particularly wpvp and arenas. Was it the best spec for it? Nope,but I had fun.
Welcome to the master class, I hope your Warrior beard is growing in nicely. If you already have the a few expedient III’s and 3x test of might I would try out arms and see if you like the way it plays. I am a firm believer that the average player will do better with a class/spec that they enjoy more than one that sims higher.
You are 100% correct brother. I am coming over after months of playing my DK. He has a solid 10ivls higher, but playing Warrior is just more fun. I am literally doing better on warrior just because it is more fun.
switched to arms, definitely wont be going back to fury at all lmao, night and day difference in terms of damage, helped a ton for progressing mythic so far
