    This could maybe turn a "random snowball" into a "controlled snowball" with the other warriors getting decent consistent damage also...

    From at least level 30 to 40 I could just plan on making my lead "the designated snowball" and get him initial "sight" aggro by charging in first and then have him do the shout(s) to solidify aggro and feed him the enrage procs to power his death wish. At 40 the incoming damage should proc both enrage & blood craze and he can funnel the rage into flurry & bloodthirst on top of death wish... The slave warriors would be a little more subtle follow-charging in after (& thus not getting initial sight aggro) and not shouting but then popping sweeping strikes & switching to Beserker (and when I get to 36 start using whirlwind).

    From 30 to 40 their specs would be something like:

    Lead "snowball" Warrior: [URL="https://classic.wowhead.com/talent-calc/warrior/-0505000500501"
    30[/URL] ... 40;

    Follow Warriors: 30 ... 40;
    Interested in this as well as i am rolling WWWWS, in dungeons with a shaman it is much much better having 1 warrior to consistently be the one taking dmg, i funnel the best Stam gear and armour enchants etc

    my guys are at 32 and running ARMs with SS etc - i will be respec at 36 to drop IMP TC and take TM which I haven’t needed yet but will once i have to start going into zerker for WW - my comment on your build above is I believe imp charge is better than imp overpower as your sequence for your slave warriors will basically always be will be (if you can charge)
    charge > Autoattack > SS > zerker > WW....
    Given overpower requires battle stance you will not be using it much in dungeons

    I really like the idea for the snowball build you have linked and keen to hear if anyone has tried this - is the sustain worth the loss of SS and does it hold Argo?

    Hi Everyone, I have been running 3 warrior 1 paladin and 1 priest, my team is in the 44 level range, i tried out uldaman for abit, but moved back to SM. I have so far found the melee team, pretty good. I like having the paladin, as I use ret. aura instead of armor. I have the paladin specc'ed for retribution, but im thinking of switching him to holy at some point, its nice having the back up heals as well. I mainly use him for auto attack with some spells and let the 2 warriors go ham. I have considered switching my war to arms and going tank on the paladin, but i don't want to spend money on respecs right now. My warrior driver is full protection and i find it easier to play this way, as I can more easily manage the threat and damage on 1 toon. I have been considering mages and warlocks. I am very curious how people are managing at lvl 60. I am thinking of running 2 warlocks, 1 mage, paladin and priest for my next team.

    I think a solo warrior can have alerts pop up when overpower is available and macro to auto-stance-dance to enable overpower (and then stance dance back) and keep at least 25 rage if they have enough points in Arms for Tactical Mastery (TM). That being said I don't really see myself being able to do that while multi-boxing so I agree the point should be moved.

    You definitely want TM to unlock Anger Management as it has big hidden Rage related benefits not listed in the description.

    I have been trying multiple things to have my lead Fury warrior take/keep aggro but my 2 slave Arms warriors seem to take it pretty regularly once they pop Sweeping Strikes such that I have not been able to establish a consistent controlled Fury snowball yet... It does seem nice when it works so I plan to keep at it but it may be that we really need to get to 36 for Whirlwind to level the playing field more as Sweeping Strikes may be too much till then...

    Assuming I only have an initial ~20-30 Rage from both Charge & Bloodrage the following are some initial rotations I plan to test this weekend (assuming I get time to play) on my Fury Warrior to see if he can keep aggro from the Arms warriors running Sweeping Strikes:

    I came up with those estimated threat numbers based on this guide:

    https://classic.wowhead.com/guides/t...values-warrior

    A third option will be to just try spamming Battle Shout periodically but I would like to try to not have to do that as I want to pour as much rage as possible into DPS... As a 4th option we could also try Demo Shout spam but again I would like to avoid that as it seems wasteful...

    If my lead Fury Warrior still has aggro issues after trying both initial rotation options listed I may just buff my slave Arms warriors with Blessing of Salvation to reduce their threat by -30% & retry options 1 & 2 and avoid wasting any rage on extra shouts...

    Please report back if you do any testing yourself. This could really help many people.
