Well here it is folks. Obviously there’s still room for improvement and change but I think that these are steps in the right direction for both Fury and Arms warriors in the Beta since they’re in such a bad way right now. Arms will still be the best PVP build that requires the least amount of gear to put up a fight, but Fury will have a foothold to get in there and mix it up if properly played. Though granted it won’t be NEARLY as easy unless you’re a ret paladin or an unholy death knight…
As promised, here are a few dps changes. There will probably be a few more over the next few days.
Fury
- Unending Fury changed to increase damage of Slam, Whirlwind and Bloodthirst by 2/4/6/8/10% (it no longer offers a rage discount).
Arms
- Sudden Death now grants 10 rage, so that following the Execute you have 10 rage left over. In the course of testing this, we also decided Execute by itself wasn’t doing enough damage, so it got a buff too (could be around +15%), which will also help the talent.
- Bladestorm breaks roots and snares when initially used. It doesn’t break other forms of CC, largely because we suspect that if it did, that functionality in PvP would overshadow the actual cool whirlwindy part.
- Strength of Arms now grants 2%/2%/2 Str/Sta/Expertise per point. (Still 2 points total.) (src)
Small, very small step towards the right direction, at last.
Some ore tweaking will definitely be needed before arms gets in a shippable state
I’m just liking the mentality they’re going with where they gave another root removal added on top of the beast within type move that is the 51pt talent
well.. welcome arms, bye fury.. what it seems like is that fury won’t be a spec for ANY kind of pve.
Rampage does not stack with feral (removing 250+ AP).
arms got
taste for blood giving you 30% chance to use OP
unrelentlig assault lowers CD with 4 secs.
What did fury get that’ll even come close to this arms-boost?
instant slam… that’s about it.. and with that you need BT crits..
Arms will be OP in both PvE & PvP
