I’ll be real, at the rate sparks are given it’s a non issue.
Also that’s kinda cope on not playing offspecs, I’ve gone the whole patch without a single weapon upgrade for prot warrior until this past week so going from a 684 to a 710 weapon in that period didn’t really stop me from doing some solid tank damage in the keys I did infact tank.
Trinkets too? that’s so non factor, crafted trinkets are beans and H track trinkets are easily farmable and get you very close to their throughput of their M track variants.
That’s because you have a weapon. I’ve gone seasons without seeing a weapon for an off spec in the past, how can you play a spec you don’t even have a weapon for? It’s the same for trinkets, you have to get one first. Try healing with a strength trinket, or going DPS with a pure tank trinket.
If that’s true, your PoV makes sense. If you’d tried TG, you’d know our weapons aren’t that slow hahaha. Go grab yourself some two handers and slap 'em on and see how fast you’re swinging those puppies.
Get to farming keys then for those items before you change specs? I do not see the problem here.
100% correct from any SMF andy they wouldn’t know atk speed if it bit them on the nose. They’ve just got a placebo effect on their end since ability animations overwrite auto attack animations more often than not.
If the mog system goes as planned they’ll still not feel the difference at all.
Raiding, doing keys, it makes no difference if nothing drops for you or if no one else wants to trade you. There is this little thing called RNG, it’s why players craft, to fill in the gaps RNG leaves behind.
Get rid of SMF
Bring it back by popular demand
Leave it incredibly undertuned and not competitive for 4 expansions in a row
“Nobody plays it so get rid of it”
Typical MO
Ive tried Titan grip, in dmg its not that much of a difference, there are videos done by streamers that confirm this. In pvp i would serve titan grip fury warriors in terms of attack speed, your dmj is meaningless if i can get mine off on you before you get yours, same thing with Frost DKs with 2hnded vs dual weild.
Oh well, i shelved my MM Hunter with their “no pet” change. Looks like ill be shelving my Fury warrior too. Im not going to play characters that dont look the way I want them too, messing my immersion up. 
Its been removed. My heart is broken and day is ruined.
The speculated compromise is being able to transmog 2h into 1h. They had a spell in their spellbook for that before it was quickly removed.
I hope it comes back, but the compromise might result in similar transmog options. Like maybe 2h → 1h for arms, offhand → shield for fury (diet glad stance), or 1h → 2h for prot (spear + shield is iconic).

Brother, H track gear is infinitely farmable eventually you will get the drop from M+ even if it’s not your optimal piece. Your melodramatic take on it isn’t the mindset you should be having.
It’s actually quite a bit of a difference to the point where you’re trolling yourself and your team mates by playing SMF over TG in the first place.
Yeh but you can now mog 1 handed weapons appearances onto a 2 handed weapon.
You say that, but I have gone seasons without it happening, and I play a LOT of content.
That would be an excellent trade off to be able to mog a two hander and shield 
They’re replacing it with what fury warriors actually wanted when they were asking for SMF back: the ability to transmog 2handers into 1handers as fury.
My concern isnt purely cosmetic. Sorry, imo in pvp tg fury warriors are slow asf in comparison to smf warriors. Great now i get to be as slow asf too with 1 hnd weapon 
ijs you get the same attack speed modifiers, how much faster are you with a weapon thats base attack speed is faster to begin with? In pve what im talking about doesnt matter because your dealing with a programmed ai opponent, not a unpredictable human where speed makes a difference. Its all good i have 2 other pvp mains, guess ill just use my frost dk and retire my smf
Give me a proper argument, a real scenario and how 1 handed weapons are better for PVP, like what exactly does hitting faster matter that much? 2 handed generates more rage from what I recall, so it’s not to do with resource generation, 2 handed also hits harder per hit, so that can’t be it.
What is it exactly that actually makes 1 handed fury better for PVP?
Good, frankly this is how it should’ve been.
99.9% of Warriors went with 2handers because they just scaled better.
Yeah, using 1H is cool, but who will really use it if it just gimps your damage?
Which it did, lol.
Also, adding here that us Survival Hunters are being able to dual-wield in Midnight, so hopefully they make it work the same way for us.
Using two 1H is a downgrade most of the time compared to a 2H, in terms of damage.
Wasn’t SMF like the worst thing to take for high end raiding?
Not necessarily the worst. It was a downgrade in using 2 handed weapons by a margin, but if you had a high enough iLVL weapon it would off set 2 handed. Like if your luck ran out and the only items dropping were 1 handed strength weapons at raid level, and all you had where blue 2 handers, taking the DPS loss with SMF would actually be a DPS gain due to the weapons at your disposal.
Sure once you found two high enough iLVL 2 handed weapons you would swap out for PVE content, but there are edge cases.
Or like what I done in season 2, I made a 1 handed weapon for tanking, and decided instead of waiting EIGHT WEEKS I would just craft another 1 handed weapon to use in the meantime considering DPS was my off spec.
I love using fast weapons like daggers in pvp rather than waiting every 4 seconds to land a hit. usually by that time I’m dead…

I love the spear + sheild aesthetic so i would 100% use it.
Remember when Defensive Stance would equip a shield in BFA? I always ran aroujd in defensive stance on my arms warrior for the look xD.
