Quote:It's hard to say what is going to happen with glancing blows. "near character level" could mean +1, +2, +3 or +5. I know I see glancings against stuff on the elemental plateau. It's possible that the patch notes mean that the change will affect stuff like that, but not change +3 mobs (raid bosses).
I'm trying to not be very optimistic about the glancing blow changes until I have more details. The patch notes are very vague on this.
As for comparing the two builds, they aren't going to be too different really, because both gain white damage if glancings happen less. Fury likely gains more from the rage. White damage is slightly higher on the Fury build because of flurry, but prot isn't that far behind if you also pick up DW spec and 1H spec.
Yeah, it could just be that they're reducing the base %glance from 10 -> 5 or something like that.
It'll be interesting to see how it goes for you. I know I felt like I was doing much more DPS as Fury then Prot (in addition to recap reporting more) but, you've also got the offhand for a duel-wield Devastate build.
