DH are just a better version of warriors… to the point that mobility stopped being the warrior niche (which was its one strength) and DH got that moniker.
Charge vs rush (target and pathing issues vs none)
mid range interupt that gives resources and a range dispel
Hard CC (something warriors have been begging for since classic)
to swap between tank/dps does not require different weapon sets
heroic throw vs glaive throw
passive run speed increases
the biggest win glide with how vertical content is getting and blocking flying its the most amazing advantage.
Go DH, they have a lot of CC, a lot of burst, and are a very solid choice right now, especially with the magic meta in groups. Chaos brand very valuable.
this is so backwards…
Better pvp? havoc - uh dh’s in general suck for pvp, and arms is utterly OP
Better pve? havoc - uh, fury warriors are the best aoe in the game. Victory rush and certain talents (blood bath, 70% MS when leap) allows open-world to be way more efficient as fury.
Better mobility? havoc - uh, as someone who has played both specs for a while, NOTHING beats the utility of 2 x charge + heroic leap. The distance you can cover in that short of a time frame = OP. Plus, charge feels 10x better than fel rush. Doing backflips has always been awkward …
Better utility? havoc -uh, battle shout and 15% raid-wide HP are far more useful than chaos brand and shadows. Havoc has imprison for m+ CC, but its not something you notice if you dont have it.
More tanky? havoc -uhhh not really. Wars can spam ignore pain, have 1.5 min pseudo full health/damage-reduction, and victory rush if multiple mobs are present (Torghast lawl). Havoc relies just on leech, which isn’t on demand. Blur can’t be spammed. Shadows REALLY can’t be spammed. Wars wear plate; dh’s use leather.
More surv tools? havoc - uhhh read above.
Better cooldowns? havoc -uhhh fury warriors have a 1.5 min cd as their bread and butter, vs 5 min meta. 45 seconds for bladestorm vs 30 sec eyebeam for aoe, but BS hits far harder and has CC immunity.
Better mogs? fury - uhhh debatable. I always found demon hunters to look better simply because they’re newer models and have the glowing effects + unique head gear
Better rotation? prob fury - true. Fury warrior (imo) has the best, most satisfying rotation in the game.
Fury in SL feels clunky and horrible with all the nerfs we got in beta, and they never got around to fixing it. So in order to get a smooth rotation you sort of have to stack haste as hard as possible just to get consistent enrage uptime.
But at least we have more than a two button rotation .
Havoc, it’s not even close.
For whatever reason Blizzard really loves making fury a laughing stock. We were mid to low tier in BfA, and we got massive nerfs going into SL. If you’re looking to be effective, look somewhere else.
Havoc, it’s not even close.
Purge, Single target stun, AoE stun, incap, best interrupt in the game, chaos brand, and darkness. All of this is baseline.
I don’t PvE much, but I found Warrior to be more fun in PVP. For general questing, I enjoyed DH more due to amazing mobility and survivability (vengeance). The rotation is cake, which makes it nice when you just want to zone out and grind. If I had to choose only one I would go with DH currently due to all the grinding you still have to do to get anywhere in this game.
