Orc Fury warrior here. I was lucky enough to get Brutality Blade recently. My weapons were the typical Axe of the Deep Woods and Flurry Axe. My question now, and I feel like I should know this but, what is the best combination of weapons for me to use now (w/o MC/Ony weps)? I understand the majority of warrior mechanics and what causes good dmg in pve. However, I’m no math major and would love some input from the community on this question to maximize my dmg for pve.
Currently I’m using Brutality Blade for my main hand and Flurry Axe for my offhand.
Thank you all for your time.
It’s a little late for that now, but it’s a shame you took BB from a non-Orc warrior or a Rogue considering you’re already using AotDW and Flurry Axe.
With all 3 of your current weapons, the best combination for you to use is…
AotDW + Flurry Axe.
At some point, you want to replace AotDW with Deathbringer. Brutality Blade literally never comes into the equation for you, if you’re strictly talking about what is optimal from a mathematics standpoint.
^ what he said… how dare you win an item.
Honestly, it’s more on the raid leadership for allowing that to happen in the first place. People show up for raids–unless it’s a very good guild, it’s fairly unrealistic to expect everyone to know what’s best for themselves, much less for others.
Raid leadership should be held to a higher standard of knowledge in this respect.
If I were a Rogue or non-Orc Warrior in that raid I’d be pretty pissed.

Yea, Deep woods is better for you than BB as an orc, sorry, but you really should have done some research. Your only real option now is to get Edgemasters if you want it to be an upgrade.
You lose 3% hit and you have a higher chance to have glancing blows with the BB, those glancing blows on your white hits lower your rage generation, lowering your overall potential damage, since you generate less rage.
It is a shame you took that weapon from a player in the raid that can use it more than you. Death bringer is your only upgrade currently, when BWL comes out you have 2 options in there.
Yeah dude, you just went from bankai to zanpakuto.

This, that poor rogue/non orc warrior prob crying knowing that the blade is gone.
Welp. Thanks for the info. Appreciate the input.
Yea live and learn. Again, it’s more on the raid leadership for letting you bid/roll/whatever on Brutality Blade in the first place when you already had the best items you could possibly use in your current slots outside of Deathbringer.
At this point, the only way you’re going to see any sort of damage increase while utilizing Brutality Blade, will be to throw that in your offhand, go buy yourself an Edgemaster’s, and then get Viskag for your mainhand.
Wear that Brutality Blade with honor… why? Because you earned it pal. Enchant + spell power on it for that extra in your face PLEBS.

The key thing for ANY warrior is to hit at least 305 weapon skill.
Vs bosses miss chance goes from 8% (+1% hit suppression) at 300 weapon skill to 6% miss @ 305… that means if you are an orc using axes (or human sword/mace) you don’t need to run edgemasters and can instead keep devilsaur set, flameguards etc
There is also the glancing blow damage reduction to factor in 300 weapon skill = glancing blows do 65% damage (means less rage generation), 305 weapon skill does 80% damage on glance.
In any case @OP if we are excluding MC/Ony kazzak currently holds the best main hand which increases attack speed 20% on proc and seems to be simming higher. If we exclude kazzak too then its PVP HWL.
Brutality blade is an ok wepaon for a fury warrior but requires edgemasters if not a human.

Also notable, that BB is only a good weapon Fury in the offhand in P1-2.
If you’re using BB w/ Edgemasters, then your mainhand should be Viskag.
Outside of that, it’s a straight DPS loss for an Orc from just using AotDW/Flurry + Devilsaur Gloves (and Legs).
