Unless we have a 1-hand Sword/Mace/Axe that somehow looks like a spear, probably not unless we get Gladiator Stance back.
Thanks for the update! I just find it cool you tryna branch out of what is “normal” and even relayed your findings back. Dont ever see people really doing that
Essentially. Which loses the value of running it this way. Neat expiriment at best, but losing those two dps with all the buffs in the trees for it is not really viable at least damage wise.
Gaining the shield also not providing huge ability benefits. some extra block and such. so survivability is a little up from pure fury. But, not really doing enough output to warrant it.
I’ve set it up so the interactions per second are roughly the same and you’re doing something essentially every 1/2 cooldown. not enough defense or output really. The only ability you gain back from adding the shield is shield slam and shield block. But there are no buffs to them Fury. So they’re not providing any real benefit over 2 handers.
saved my spec and gear for some future play, but for now, probably putting this to rest. They’d need to add some shield based benefits

Pretty sure either would work.

I could see Warriors doing it since they have titan grip in Fury, and Warriors are more primal. But Paladins?
Makes them look more like City Guards.
that would be fun, which is precisely why we dont have it. you’re not allowed to have fun with a shield. RIP gladiator
I’ve done it, its okay for leveling and solo content, but not recommended for group play. You lose out on Rampage, Raging Blow, and Onslaught. You get to use Shield Slam and Shield Block.
Did a bunch of delves with it.
Survivability up. Overall Damage down. Fun to fool around, but if I’m going to go Fury, might as well see the big numbers
the big bonus I can see to going this with a shield, would be shield block. for one ability, maybe worth writing a macro.
