Do you guys think we’re getting it back? I personally hope so, because I love Fury Warrior, but I’m just unable to play it, swinging 2 2handers around looks too goofy to me, and so I just go Arms.

I personally would like to see it as a talent choice. Similarly to the way Gladiator spec warrior once was.

I’d like something like that, a choice in a way kindda like frost dks had at a point with goi g 2H or dual wielding 1Handers.

This is gonna be like when locks cried for shadow bolt back and then they give it to us in the worst possible form. Same with glad stance.

Having weapon choices too complicated…
Using a 3rd party website to sim every piece of gear to see if its an upgrade is perfectly fine though.

Is complicated for blizz to balance the damage between 2x 2h and 2x 1h. Else majority will still flock to the choice that deal the most dps.

And you’ll quickly discover all these people crying about ‘mah options! I don’t care if its optimal’ are lying and will be demanding their subpar dream choice be made optimal.

There were plenty of people before Legion who played either 2h or 1h. 1h was, as I recall, better for single-target damage, and 2h for AoE.

The best possible way to bring back SMF is to return it as a fury-exclusive transmog option.
The animations would stay the same, the balancing issues between TG and SMF that Blizzard struggled with for years would be nullified, and everybody could pick their favorite weapons to mog into within the fury warrior spec.
Will they do it? Who knows. Would this be awesome? Absolutely.

Yes, a transmorg option would solve a lot of issues and it’s a simple solution

I’d prefer actual Single Minded Fury over just a transmog option. It wasn’t simply looking good, but it was a whole different way to play your spec. You’d sacrifice weapon damage for attack speed and DPS.

Current fury warriors are swinging their dual 2-handers at unrealistically fast speeds as it is. I hear you, but I don’t really think that the dichotomy between ‘heavy/slow’ and ‘fast/light’ would really exist anymore, even if they brought SMF mechanically back into the game.
Not to mention it’s always going to be a balancing nightmare to try and keep both SMF and TG within one spec. As others have pointed out, as soon as one person’s favorite choice becomes suboptimal, they’ll demand that Blizzard make their favorite choice the best.

Total nonsense, have you even played the spec this expac? Single minded fury was LIGHT YEARS slower than Fury is today. Fury’s gcd is less than a second and one of the fastest in the history of the game for all specs. Raw auto attack speed is significantly faster than fury has EVER been, in any iteration.
I don’t fully support the transmogging idea, but I’m not fully opposed either. Regardless, at least those guys have a factually correct point to stand on - fury’s weapons are visually large, for the most part. I consider mine to be a relatively small pair personally.

I have played Fury this xpac, yes. Single Minded Fury would still be faster.

No, it would not. That is outright made up.
If we reinstated the old SMF playstyle, it would be a dramatic slowdown of the spec in all possible ways.

So you’re saying current Fury would be slower with 1-handed weapons that have a faster attack speed than the current 2-handeds?
With its current model, that is faster than it ever was using single handed weapons? You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Auto attack speed would go from like 1.75s to 1.3ish. Completely unnoticeable unless you’re just not using your abilities. Autoattack speed would have to catch our gcd to be noticeable i.e. you’d need to basically use daggers. Adds in another layer of balancing and math that has to be done and bam, nothing is gained and the games just a little bit worse.

Bruh… you’re an orc… what part of that is realistic?

I mean, the best fantasy games/worlds/stories/etc are the ones that are firmly grounded in a sense of realism.
But my point was that, similarly to what Aédan pointed out, current fury warriors are swinging dual 2H weapons as if though they were 1H weapons.

Fury is one of the few specs in the game that feels decent to play right now. I’m in no hurry for them to give it the warlock treatment so that people can be plate wearing dagger wielding rogues.
As it so happens, there is a dual wielding 1 handed plate spec. Its frost dk. They can go play frost dk.
