Why isnt dual wield arms warrior a thing?

“A battle-hardened master of weapons…”
I honestly dont see a reason why arms warrior cant have the option to choose between 2h or dw like frost DK (I’m not complaining about frost DK)
At the end of the day this spec is not about hitting hard anymore cuz of this stupid mastery

I think the class fantasy is supposed to be about tactical mastery. You dont need two weapons because you’re capable of doing the same damage with one.

Not to mention that a fury warrior is the spec that specializes in dual wielding for as long as l can remember. (joined during wotlk) If the op wants a dual wielding spec, fury is what he wants.

I actually agree with you- it makes sense that Fury would be all dual wield all the time- but for class fantasy, it makes even more sense that Arms should be able to choose between single 2h, dual 1h, sword and board or even single 1h.

Say what you will about D&D, but class fantasy is one area that is completely nailed in almost every edition. And the ‘fighter’ class to me was always the class that can basically do anything as long as it involved doing damage by hitting enemies with weapons- (with advantages + disadvantages for each combination).

Arms doesn’t need more than one weapon. They can use any weapon and they use one of them and hit hard as hell. Job done.

If you want to flail about like a ADHD teenager, play fury.

Because fury is dual wield. And dual wield is more of a berserker viking theme, enraged bloodthirsty maniac, while arms is more like a soldier, battle-hardened veteran. Stop with these stupid ideas, you literally have dual wield spec.
Btw i would like to see arms mastery changed from that derpy bleed to armor penetration or something similar.

“Give me infinity+1 damage and a magic ring that makes me invincible and stuff”

It never ends.

The reason is bc fury is the dual wield spec.

Play that if you want that.

Master of weapons meaning he can pick up any weapon and be a master of it. It really should be renamed blade master tbh

That would be gross discrimination against maces!

But we can use maces

An Arms Warrior should be how Classic intended them to be, a warrior who uses shield, 1h weapons, 2h weapons when the moment it calls for swapping between them just like how Diablo 4 Barbarian maybe like.

Dual wielding one handers should be something warrior could do, but currently can’t. You either dual wield two handers or wield one 2 hander.

With that being said, Ion said they’re looking into bringing Single Minded Fury back.

Where? I’d like to see where and when he said that?

In an interview on youtube, let me see if i can link it: https://youtu.be/bp044blwDsQ

I can’t search for the timestamp right now, but is around the first 20 minutes.

So the part lasts about 20 seconds and they way it’s said is they are looking at it within a sea of other options, but even if the brought it back it would be entirely cosmetic, which is nice since that won’t cause balancing issues.
