Glad ya liked it, that means a lot from...ty furbz! Glad ya liked it, that means a lot from an accomplished Fury Warrior. :)<BR/><BR/>I know exactly whatcha mean. Being silly like I am, I spec'd DW Arms through most of my leveling (I know I know). I worked my way through trial and error to a 31/30 DW spec before knowing what that actually meant. Anyhoo... with both sword spec and flurry, i got used to swinging at hyperspeed. lol! Then switched to MS Arms and it felt like playing in slow motion. Swing... go get coffee, start the laundry... swing... check the web, watch Tv.... swing... horrible!<BR/><BR/>oth, when that big sword crits, oh baby!<BR/><BR/>Took some getting use to.<BR/><BR/>Aside: if anyone reading this wants to see what a REAL Fury Warrior looks like, go look at furbz's Armory profile. If that doesn't short circuit your keyboard from drool-factor, you have no business playing a Warrior. :)<BR/><BR/>The tanking thing really gets to the heart of some of the things I'm trying to get across on this blog. I love seeing the pure spec'd Warriors that are the absolute best at what they do. I went one-on-one in Halaa with another MS Warrior last night. A Tauren in s3/s4 gear. (No idea what he was doing slumming in Halaa lol!) This guy was just beautiful. Three swings and he had me to Execute. And he hit them just right, as well. For the first time in long time I got that "oh crap" panic feeling in a fight. I hate that long run back, but wow! seeing that sort of player in action is almost worth it. My own fault, too. I was just flying over from doing a daily and saw him running through a nearby field. So I dropped on him, thinking he'd be caught by surprise. Didn't work. That's exactly what an Arms warrior should be like. Some dummy drops on your head, and you don't panic or even flinch. Ya just calmly and methodically beat them senseless. Awesome.<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo...<BR/><BR/>I really want to get across that there are "best" gear/spec/etc for certain things, but for a lot of people, myself included, there's also a "good enough" area that you can hit, have a load of fun in the game, without stressing about over gearing every fight you get into. <BR/><BR/>The average Fury Warrior *can* tank some and do PvP and have a good time and contribute to the goal quite nicely. Like you point out, a sharp healer, helps tremendously. A lot of times, it boils down to other players not understanding the class/spec. A good warrior has to educate those poor misguided souls. I have this macro'd now for when I have to tank...<BR/><BR/>"I am an Arms Warrior. I will build threat a LOT slower than a Prot Warrior. Do not go all out at the start of the fight. Please build DPS steadily as well go. Thank you."<BR/><BR/>Then I ask them to turn Omen on. Anyone that doesn't know what Omen is and how to manage threat gets a short lecture. :)<BR/><BR/>K, I'm rambling off topic again...<BR/><BR/>I'm building my Arms spec for Wrath constantly. But you're right... it gets harder and harder not to spend those points in Fury. :D <BR/><BR/>Ty again! Now I gotta get the Prot one done which is gonna be hard. lol<BR/><BR/>-FriFriday Macfayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488340330212549021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468877507401817290.post-66176722970589652522008-09-01T07:29:00.000-05:002008-09-01T07:29:00.000-05:00lol an amazing post tbh, 10/10 some very good and ...lol an amazing post tbh, 10/10 some very good and detailed and a from all perspectives pointed out every where <3<BR/><BR/>Being a fury warrior for 3 years iv come to love it religiously and i my self cant stand arms. The rotation needed for arms in a pve environment for feels slow and doesn't deal enough damage in comparison to fury, Down side to fury though from what iv learnt from experience is 2 main things. <BR/><BR/>1 - Fury warriors are very gear reliant, so much stats is needed and on top of that you need to balance it, StR, Crit and hit, And since the haste nurf im all for Armour pen at the moment. <BR/><BR/>2- Threat is a pain for me. Being that i use Heroic strike in my rotation :P i tend to die more than most , but the adrenaline is just to much to stop my self :P<BR/><BR/>i have tanked as a fury warrior, not many heroics though, but i it can be done, a few times iv found my self tanking in MH or BT, but as long as the healers are sharp and im NOT in zerqa stance ( reduced threat by 10% in that stance due to talents ) i seem to be able to hold agro well till we can loot and rez te tanks again :P<BR/><BR/>And as for the content patch. Fury warriors are going to be sick as hell. Dual wielding 2 handed weps with out no speed reduction penalty, i think finaly the Bloodfreny v fury argument is over and the new rampage (5% crit to group) will heavly build more raid spots for the fury warrior.<BR/><BR/>Again great post Fri, take it easy!Furbzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421888764172855048noreply@blogger.com
