Just put together a new melee group, couple questions

Remember with Fury and Titan's Grip you are swinging 2h weapons at their slow rate of speed. Also dualwielding requires a lot of hit rating. A rogue dualwielding makes up for this by equipping a fast offhand to get in more hits, plus he has talents that increase his attack speed allowing him to throw out more attacks, so even when he misses he makes up for it by throwing out even more.

The fury warrior suffers quite a bit until later levels of gear as he will miss quite often with his offhand. I would spec him arms like you changed him too until he is 80. Arms is great, and Bladestorm is OMG awesome. Once you are 80 and geared a bit more you can switch over to fury to get the full benefit of titan's grip.

This and also when the warrior misses he doesn't gain rage for it , where as the rogue's energy is constantly filling up.

Fury warriror is probably the most equipment dependent style in the game. Get a good bit of hit and then stack strength and you should get quite a bit out of him. I'm thinking of retiring my tank warrior and replacing him with a paladin and converting him to a fury dps. I've been on raids where the fury warrior made my eyes almost pop outta my head.

With a substantial amount of gear, a fury warrior is insane dps.
But lacking that gear, they're nothing special at all.

The arms respec never occurred to me.
Good call.

Of that group, the feral druid DPS is the only thing I did a lot of boxing with. My biggest gripes were:

• Shred is the best DPS spam, but have to be behind the target, which is a problem for well known reasons.
• Weaving in Tiger's Fury as a long-cooldown item is problematic, unless you break it out into a separate long-cooldowns-button.
• Keeping Savage Roar up without wasting combo points is another pain.

I suppose you could setup two rotations: one for bosses and one for trash. This would still leave me rather unhappy with my basic trash rotation. The problem, IMO, is that kitty druids have crazy amounts of crit once you get up to heroic-entry-level gear, which makes combo point generation very streaky, which makes it hard not to waste points. Sure, you can just resort to basic attacks or setup a rotation macro with a minimum number of attacks so that you know you'll have at least X combo points. Versus solo prioritized rotations, it really hurts their DPS numbers.

I'd be interested to see if anyone else has better ideas for kitty DPS rotation macros.

The warrior simply spams bloodthirst, and keeps rend up. He also will do overpower if it's available.

Are you using Whirlwind in there? What about Heroic Strike when he has sufficient rage?

Also, taking advantage of instant Slam procs is a key to decent Fury DPS. Might be more difficult to do that as a multiboxer, but not impossible.

What he said. Whirlwind is your ability of choice for TG warriors. Use it whenever it is off CD.

Warriors require a lot of micromanagement to get good DPS. Many of the high DPS abilities are proc based so you need to watch for those constantly. Let us know how it works out.

Nope, totally did not add ww to the rotation. Didn't even occur to me. I'll add it though.

Thanks for the tips all.

[Boylston]

It's kind of a big deal!

About ring of blood; all the bosses beside the last one were ez for my 5 pallies at 65; but the last one wiped me, mostly because of the totems he dropped - were you doing group heals or just fast at targeting totems and killing them while still dps'ing and tanking and healing tank (for me it was a bit too much) ?


[I ended up finishing it because a level 80 hunter showed up to help someone else and I tanked for them and then they helped me kill the last one I had missing]
