How To Top DPS As a Warrior In Classic WoW!!

[@AbandonedMonolith]

[@Presence_o_Mind]

Definitely one of your best videos, my man. I still check back to it from time to time and tighten up on what I've missed. Right now I'm 2h fury slam spec and just replaced my Demonshear with the OEB last night. I'm at 6% hit. Once in at 9%, I may consider DW. I just love swinging around a huge blade of death upon every enemy in my path that it's hard to was to change. I leveled arms and pretty much 2h tanked most of the way up in arms spec and sword and boarded it only when things got thick. The fury slam spec is a little tricky getting used to after playing arms all this time and playing prot for a few weeks once I hit 60 but I'm enjoying the learning phase. I've already doubled my dps from my first raid back after all these years to my second. It's definitely rewarding. Looking forward to more of your videos!

[@MellonVegan]

I may have sold my soul and be roided to the gills in MC more than an Olympic champion but boy, it feels good to be a warrior.

[@DIEGhostfish]

Warriors being both top tier tanks and DPS really does show that the "Healing, buffs and dispells only" roles for other Hybrids was a result of poor planning (and yes Tank-DPS is as much a hybrid as Heals-DPS)

[@mrillis9259]

It seems like 1 and 2 equals you don't get 3 isn't the best strat for classes. Or maybe they broke the game when they put up a wall and said from now on, we are working on TBC, and anything now is being left for the expansion.

[@fortunist]

Hey Punkrat, Nice vid dude! One thing about Death Wish, Reck and consumes. You dont want to pop them at 20% most of the time. It all depends on the fight. Look at the timers on the abilities. Look at how long the boss-fights normally take (in your raids) and adapt. This way u have the best overlap of DW, Reck and consumes. If u do this, you will rise above other Warriors who dont with ease 😏

[@SinisterSkip]

I'm leveling my warrior and honestly, it's smoother than I expected. I do not experience it to be hard or a drag, more like, enjoyable and comfortable. Two main things many warriors overlook: slam's power in classic (fast kills after lvl 30) + sick spirit scaling (low downtime). I'm 34 so I don't even have WW/MS yet, just crushing it with slam and a slow meaty axe doing good DPS while regenerating like 70-80 health per tick. My gear focus are items with strength+spirit, agility+spirit, stamina+spirit or a combination of three (usually blue quality, mail+spirit is often underpriced on AH). Before this I leveled a mage and really, the /played time is 15% to 20% more, and a part of that is just because of mages' teleport, so really, it's not that bad. You just need to think rationally and confess that spirit and slam are very, very strong for leveling. --- I'm also leveling arms. Being able to sweeping strike two mobs every other pull or on accidental double pulls is extremely strong and saved my life a few times as well. Anger management allows me to slam before nearly every white swing, even with low crit, making it a fluent, high sustained DPS experience. Yes, being hit puts back your slam cast, but you simply compensate by casting slam a second earlier, aligning your slam cast and white swing pretty evenly. All you need is a good swingtimer, especially one that can change color at your prefered swingtime. Good luck and enjoy!

[@Radric33]

Dont give up. Come late 40s and on there are no good weapons that make leveling a breeze. At this point each mob will almost kill you and you will need to eat after every mob. I went dual wield for the extra sustain tonlower downtime.

[@jonassholmberg8071]

@@Radric33 this *might* be the case if you really want to fight equal level mobs. Fight greens and you will easily kill 5+ mobs before eating/bandaging. Also miss less, crit more, lower aggro range.

[@JSledge825]

One more thing about the Hamstring ability. Is that it slows enemies. Which is great when people are jumping all over the place.

@Punktrat since 310 is enough to remove all glancing blows, why isn't edgemaster not worth it on orcs and humans? They would get 312 to their respective racials, or does it not stack to that point?

[@balaambaca4514]

Well there's not as big as a difference from 300 to 305 also even with no glancing blows you still cant crit so it would be better to go for a different piece of gear

[@glitchuk1986]

while its still good, other gear is better for humans some even from dungeons and especially devilsaur for me is almost 20 dps more than edgemasters with swords

[@nightsage217]

If u r in raid environment, your goal is to MH heroic strike/ cleave as much as possible (while respecting your spell priority), as these 2 spells can't be glancing blow and dual wield hit penalty is switch off (24% -> 9%) while u *que* the spell. u want crit to proc flurry (33%crit for 80% up/44%crit for 90% up in 4 hits if u dont get crit cap), proc windfury, generating rage with your hit capped OH while queing heroic strike. Hence the good old wisdom of faster weapon in OH, damn slow weapon in MH.

[@EveRecruiter]

[@Swifttalon69]

Some 1 told me there was a blue post stating that wep skill was maxed at 308 instead of 315 making edgemasters useless 4 humans .. True or not ?

[@petterson-]

would like to know this as well actually.

[@borisivanov2644]

is not being capped at 308, BUT after 308 or 310 not sure, each weapon skill translates into less hit rate and increasingly so. Meaning, suppose you get 1% hit from each skill point, after you exceed let's say 308, you will be getting less than 1%, let's say 0.7 for 309 and 0.07 for 315 (those are just some random numbers, you gotta check the exact ones. Which makes it not that valuable to stack weapon skill after certain point

[@AlCap0le]

Simple and good Guide. Trank you :)

[@Cyribuz]

Any warrior worth his salt will realise that the bonereaver's edge (from ragnaros) with a 2h fury build (without slam) will outshine any of these dual wielders. BRE is overpowered to hell, sure you can replace it was th a stronger weapon but it's stacking buff on you can't be found anywhere else, with tanks or dual wielders using annihilator this further increases as the BRE proc applies it's buff on you and not the boss / target. Only needing 9 percent hit is a godsend too, with higher crit you won't even need to take imp overpower, literally stay in beserker stance forever. It goes without saying horde have it so much better with WF but alliance 2h fury slamless builds do incredible DPS, way more than dual wielders.

[@Cyribuz]

Need to add, just in case this is actually read that a good starting weapon for this that works amazing for human warriors is the obsidian edged blade (42 str and +7 2h sword skill giving you that extra glancing blow damage and more rage). The rotation is pretty standard but do note if you take imp cleave then the burst is real, 2h fury burst is stupidly insane given enough crit. Take imp overpower til you get around 30-33% crit. another thing worth noting that dual wield doesn't get massive benefits from flurry on classic in that flurry works differently to that of private servers. Flurry only takes charges away from you with white hits, parries and misses, yellow hits don't take a charge from you, meaning you can get way more attacks off with flurry still up than a dual wielder can, hence the 30-33% crit I mentioned prior to practically get 100% uptime within the allotted time flurry lasts. The 9% hit instead of the usual 11-14 most dual wielders go for means you can focus on crit and AP / str. 2h fury gives you so many more options for gear because of this.

[@DriftNick]

Warrior with the top logs switches to dual wield in single target because it's better then his BRE, BRE is good in MC because it has a bunch of fights with cleave with non boss level mobs, dual wield with 305+ weapon skill is better single target, BRE proc is mostly wasted because the boss armor will be really low with the right debuffs. Also with heroic strike queuing you don't want hit rating past the yellow damage hit cap, 2h and dual wield fury gear is the same now.

[@ChegMegg]

Good video man!

[@illomens2766]

any chance you can explain how to play 2h fury slam spec properly?

[@masumijohnson9987]

It's the same as the rotation he explained, only difference is to use slam immediately after an auto attack when you have excess rage. I avoid using it during flurry procs, as well.

[@DavidWBeck]

3:57 no I think HoJ just procs whatever ability you used it to get the proc with, so hamstring procs hamstring

[@LAMBO_63]

[@Ivvyfay]

Past a certain point of gear. 2h Fury stays around for a little bit at the beginning of a server because of lack of hit. From what I understand, it tends to stick around juuust a little bit longer for Horde than Alliance simply because of WF.

[@Andres9632]

Fury dual weild if you have 12~% to hit via gear.

[@warbreakr]

@@Andres9632 whut? 9% is the hit cap

[@Andres9632]

warbreakr no. 9% is the bare minimum to always land abilities. 27% is the hit cap with DW. More hit means fewer glancing blows and fewer misses.

[@warbreakr]

Vred sorry for asking nooby questions but what does DW stand for? And what are glancing blows? The bis gear guide on wowhead says to aim for the 9% hit from gear and then to maybe prioritize crit% or other stats over hit%

[@Andres9632]

warbreakr dw = dual wield. Glancing blows are strikes that land but do reduced damage and are affected by hit. The reason they say 9% bc its thats what you need to land your abilities without missing. However, like the video says most of your damage comes from auto attacks. Its also expected that youll have a pve race that has +5 weapon skill which adds another 3%~hit. If you’re playing without weapon skill racials, you should consider edgemasters and will benefit from around 12~ hit prior to getting them.
