Quote:And the warrior I'm levelling is suddenly doing double DPS, killing things off before charge cools down. Although, like every warrior out there, I imagine, I immediately scrounged up a second two hander and went, "HOOOOOLY CRAAAAAAAP it's fury time!" Even though I knew that as some level 67 nublet there's no way I'd have the hit rating for Titan's Grip to be as good as Arms. All the same, I spent a quarter of a level slinging an Arkadian Claymore and a Honed Voidaxe, and even though it was something like 80 DPS under what I was getting Arms specced, it was cool, so I didn't care.


I got that stuff out of my system on the PTR. Then on the PTR I went arms and slam spam. Like 300 DPS more than Titan's Grip (though that's when it was -15% hit, not -12%.

Post patch I tried a full Sudden Death spec (I had tried a 2H one on PTR, but on Live I tried a DW). It's okay, but I'm probably gonna go back to either arms for slam spam or Prot for learning to be zen in PvP. I say zen because there are a million options for a prot warrior in terms of spending rage and what stance to be in while PvPing. If you just smash buttons you make huge mistakes. It really requires a very calm mind and quick precise decisions. It has the potential to be a very strong PvP build, but requires strong play. This is why it's interesting to me.

Unfortunately, I haven't had a lot of time to play with things. I got add-ons setup, and specs in order, but I need to go practice them to get used to the new play.

I was pretty disheartened with warrior PvP on the PTR, but I think that's mainly because the people who play on the PTR are generally much higher quality players than those typically seen on the live servers.
