Just put together a new melee group, couple questions

[d0z3rr]

So I have been playing this group a lot more lately, and it is really fun. I did Ring of Blood at 65 and it was a cakewalk, did they nerf the bosses in that quest sequence? I remember struggling with that on my paladins.

Anyhoo, before that, the warrior continued to have absolutely terrible dps, I'm talking 350 if he's on a roll, and an average of 120 on trash. I got the druid up to about 1000 with some tweaking, and the rogue not far behind with like 800.

I was super close to ditching the warrior and putting in an enhancement shaman, which is the only spec I have never played before. As a last resort, I respecced the warrior arms and gave him a 2hander. Now he is doing some very nice dps, it's almost a 5 fold increase in dps for him. The funny thing is his macros stayed practically the same, and all I had to do was swap out bloodthirst for mortal strike and remove some commas.

Now he's a beast with about 30% crit fully buffed and more AP than the rogue.

I've played my warrior as DPS for a long time, and I can say with certainty that until you get at least ilevel200+ gear on him (if not better), don't bother with fury. Played as a main and not using castsequences, I get the same crappy results you did until I respecced.

Arms is the way to go until he gets WAY better gear. Sad, but true.
