Aedon · 10/14/08, 1:47 PM

This thread is to compile what you think the best specs are for whatever situation, DPS, Tanking, PvP, etc. For the new patch going live today. Hopefully I get some good feed back and can update the list to help everyone out.

The arms PvE build link is not working, it should be:

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

Bronwyn · 10/14/08, 2:36 PM

PVE Fury lvl 70 incl. Deep Wounds (2 x 1H)
PVE Fury lvl 70 Titan's Grip (2 x 2H)

Aedon · 10/14/08, 2:50 PM

thanks for the input guys, keep em coming level 70 or even 80 builds are fine I will separate the list so that people can get information for todays patch and what to look forward to when WOTLK comes.

Bronwyn · 10/14/08, 2:59 PM

Fury lvl 80 TG

One point in berserker rage is optional. Could depend on encounters, e.g. piercing howl might be better.

Yet another fantastic warrior post that's not needed!

That's what I thought.

But then I also thought it might help to reduce the question spam in the WotLK thread: "What spec should I use tomorrow/today."; so I provided the fury specs.

The whole thread could be included in the DPS warrior compendium thread, though.

I know it may seem like a worthless post to many of the EJ posters. I know many people from my guild who are great players who just don't have the time to sift through 100+ pages of posts from WOLTK threads. Many of them are adults ages 25-40 and they just don't understand theorycrafting or have the time to process all the information themselves. EJ is a trusted community of dedicated players who take the time to run tests and help decide which skills, spells, rotations and gear are the best of the best. EJ has a loyal base of people who come here to get the end stop of information.

Reading some of the WOLTK posts there are numerous specs, which are followed by a post from someone else. The follow up will point out flaws in the posted spec. What is missing is the point blank information as in, this spec is great and this is why. A post like this consolodates worthy specs and helps those people out.

The warrior threads here are like the Blizz forum with proper grammar and fake politeness.
Now we have like four or five warrior threads and they are all the same.

This is true for most of the posters here. If you're not a theorycrafter your question always has been answered already, but you don't care and ask anyway. I must have read hundreds of talent spec requests in the last week here.

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

seems like a better TG build to me at 70, at 80 the inclusion of Incite seems certain, just not sold on it being more beneficial for 3.0 @70 .

No TG warriors will have incite at 80. There is far too much DPS to be had from Impale, Deep Wounds, and 2H spec. I suppose the exception could be a hybrid OT spec.

Arms PvP
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

This is what the Full Arms PvP spec would look like I think. However there can be a couple of points switched around depending on someone's preferences.

I just realized how much of a PVP boost Stoneform has received from the Deep Wounds changes.

Raúl · 10/14/08, 5:08 PM

Anyone got a spec for pve arms for 80?

Sepulture · 10/14/08, 5:12 PM

Ultimate 53/8/0 Build

You only need one point in Unrelenting Assault. Rend ticks every 3 seconds. This makes 2 points in UA a waste because there is no need to have Overpower be on a shorter CD than 3 seconds. The extra point fits nicely into Anger Management or Improved Demoralizing Shout. The exception might be if you have an incredibly low amount of expertise or enjoy dueling rogues.

Maybe, except one of those threads was directly related to 2.4 changes and is now completely 100% useless.

A simple post that involves specs instead of the 100+ pages of theorycraft is not useless. Could I have compiled one at the end of one of the other warriors threads?? Sure, but then it would get lost along with the other 100+ post that get lost having to sit here and read hours after hours listening to people go back and forth of why so so spec doesnt work. This way people can simply post specs, give a few opinions and as stated most of the people who just come here for SPECS will benefit more from this thread then the others.

landsoul · 10/15/08, 1:03 AM

This isn't even titled as spec post. All this is doing is adding more thread lines. There's a post clearly stated WOTLK discussion. If you skimmed the pages for even a minute you'd find the information and arguments you would need. The fury 70 deep wounds spec listed here isn't even right either. You get 2 improved shouts instead of unbridled wrath, and 1 less point into precision for 1 point in unending Fury.

Except this post hurts absolutely 0 and it doesn't take a few seconds to skim through 100+ pages to find specs when people are discussing them back and forth of hey should get this and or that. I guess I can change the title to make pricks like you happy.

discokill · 10/15/08, 7:09 PM

Any suggestions on Gemming/stat priorities at 53/8? Since I was soft capped in Fury before and dropped my good DW weapons for the new build I'm now super low on hit (88 unbuffed). Trying to decide if i should regem for hit and what the cut off is. My gear right now is currently around Badge/t4/t5 level.

Aedon · 10/15/08, 7:17 PM

what rotations are people using with the 53/8/0 build as well

Mordenthal · 10/15/08, 7:31 PM

I don't find this thread redundant at all, as someone above me said, it's a pain to sift through hundreds of pages to find what you want.

The icing on the cake would be if OP would post what is considered the 'best' rotations for each spec right now.

''Do not beg for hand-holding – We are not here to teach you how to play the game, nor do we want to rehash what's already been discussed. These forums are a depository of information to be gathered of your own volition if you so choose to seek it out. Unless a thread calls for it, we don’t want to see your Armory and/or combat logs and we don't want to be asked to make your tough gear decisions for you.''

I find this thread redundant and it's starter, quite frankly, lazy.The search mechanism is there for a sole reason.This thread just causes confusion for all members by having them browse two different threads of the same shit thus making it hard for discussion.

Warstehgnome · 10/15/08, 9:42 PM

I don't think I've seen anyone say this but, really if you want to discuss this stuff. We have plenty of things on TankSpot to cover it instead of making up threads here which can be used for better theorycrafting.

Don't go and make one about specifically warrior glyph usage now please, discuss that somewhere else. Along with any other warrior thread you might want to make. >.<
