The default Fury DPS build is 17/44/0, with Rampage.
Rampage adds 275AP to your damage output, fixed, and it doesnt scale. The 21 point Arms talent, Deathwish, is a percentage increase (20% extra DPS, 1/6th of the time, more if you coincide trinket use/etc with it).
Therefore, it stands to reason that, eventually, with an appropriate level of gear, Deathwish would provide a greater increase to overall damage output than Rampage does.
Has anyone here ever theorycrafted as to what level of gearing you would require before a 21/40 build (like so : Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft) before Deathwish can provide a greater increase in output, given the loss of 275AP from Rampage and the 3% extra hit rating required from losing Precision?
Also (and this is the killer), is this level of gearing achievable with current available itemisation? |
I think for most t6 warriors, point for point Deathwish is better than Rampage.
I think that if you can consistently crank out about 2000 dps and your Deathwish usage is near-perfect you might see a small dps increase in going 21/40 vs 17/44. The interesting thing that I just started thinking about though is that Humans/Orcs can cap their Expertise with the new trinket from Magister's Terrace Heroic and the new t6 belt. If they're already Expertise capped then the 2 points in Weapon Mastery shouldn't actually be worth anything in terms of dps leaving Deathwish only needing to out perform 1% hit and Rampage. At my gear level and average dps, Deathwish would come out ahead under those circumstances... perhaps something to look into if I ever manage to get both the t6 belt and the trinket.
Edit: After re-reading your post I notice you did include that you would have to dump 3% hit from Precision.
