Going to be leveling my warrior in earnest soon. I’d like to give single-minded fury a go because I’ve never been crazy about the whole dual wielding 2H weapons myself, but for the longest time it was the meta where you had to use Titan’s Grip if you were going to perform at all as a fury warrior.
So my question is, is SMF viable in DF? Are there any drawbacks to using it in place of Titan’s Grip? And how does the DPS compare between 1H and 2H?
Smf is worse than TG for a few reasons.
SmF requires 2 talents to even use. You can go the same build as TG and keep those 2 talents for extra choices.
Smf even with the 5% damage increase is still behind in overall damage.
TG gives you more overall stats.
For leveling it won’t matter. But for pvp and pve TG is beforming better.
Pity. As I mentioned I think dual wielding 2H weapons just looks silly.
Though for leveling/soloing you don’t think I’d have too much trouble? As I mentioned this guy’s an alt. He’s not going to see much (if any) action as far as raiding, mythic dungeons, or pvp goes.
As said, good enough while leveling. Not the choice for any content.
I did SMF a while at 70 and even went into normal raid first night with it, OK for open world, but felt weak in the raid.
Thanks all 
You use the best weapons you can get, since weapon damage is the best stat.
It’s fine for level cap, even, but it’s not optimal. Ideally, you want to go TG.
TG is Excellent but very boring since after so much expansion because is no more fun anymore.(is for me the Easy mode of Fury Warrior)
SMF is good(Hard mode), in PVP is very dangerous because with Slaughterhouse pvp talent he can become very strong. The Only problem is you need many haste for he become so much potential and also comboned with Annilhator!(Is a Talent one hand user during beta so…) The Only possibility is to get a 1.80 speed weapon but only dagger can giving this(for when strength dagger or other weapon with 1.80!!!)…so for now…
TG ;(
I disagree completely. SMF is just inferior to TG. Same spec can be done with TG, more damage, more overall stam, more stats in general and saves you 2 talents all while applying the stacks the same.
Technically, SMF requires no talents to use, its just one is a 5% damage buff so you always want to take it. The auto attack damage one is pretty bad and should probably be skipped. Regardless, even if those 2 talents were baseline, smf would still be worse.
