World of Warcraft

So what are you guys planning to do with regards to whats coming?

Im just a bit concerned with the "Fury nerfs are coming tho" comment and Ghostcrawler saying "Off the top of my head, I’d say Fury warrior damage is almost certainly too high"

Now i know that the AP buffs are coming aswell but how do you guys think this will affect Fury vs Arms in regards to overall pve viability in 4.3?

I'm staying Fury. Always have been, always will be. Just because I like playing this a lot more then Arms.

To be honest, I'm not really going to panic about possible Fury Nerfs. Fury Warriors always scale tremendously with gear. In BiS 4.3 gear with our class mechanics we probably will do too much damage, therefore the nerf.

Like in almost every patch, this means Fury will 'feel' a bit weak in the beginning of 4.3 untill you've acquired some decent gear. In the end of the patch other classes will probably start crying that we're OP again.

Blizzard have stated before that Fury will always be the main PvE spec, so obviously that is going to be better than Arms, however arms will hopefully be viable and not -too- far behind.

That being said, I'm staying Arms most likely, unless I fix my connection and get a high-end serious progress guild. ^^

Protection.
since my freinds are forceing me :(

and my offspec is constatly chaning from Prot PvP or fury(sucky) or pvp arms ;S

Ill probhably stay fury aswell, i just prefer the gameplay and flow of arms.

Think ill wait and see what happens with both specs, mind you i cant see blizz putting Arms ahead of Fury again like it was pre FL

I would say, prepare to play both specs while you still have time before 4.3 releases. That's what I'm doing atm, learning Fury.

Then again, possible 4.3 patch notes for Warriors is not very far off. Another 2 weeks at the most, I would say.

Very simple for me:

THis char = arms and prot

Horde warrior (yes, i got 2:P) = fury

Tadaa :)

I can't see Arms being better than Fury for PVE ever again without warriors becoming a gimped class.

In the few months it got close the damage Arms did in PVP was to be honest overpowered beyond broken.

Barring them breaking arms in some way I'll stay prot/arms.

As well as preferring the spec it's easier to gear arms as an OS, especially since we have a fury warr in our raid team :P

Arms for life, the spec is WAY more fun than fury. No matter how hard they gut arms it will eb my Main spec untill the end of wow!

I dont care how far ahead fury is to arms...
Fun>better DPS for me and i cant enjoy fury no matter how hard i try

I'm gonna wait to see what they do to us, it's unlikely that I'll go fury though, I've been arms since TBC apart from trying fury from time to time and the odd bit of tanking as needed.

When did they state this? Right before Cata they said they want Arms to be PvE viable and equal to Fury, not that Fury is the main PvE DPS spec.

They said that this when arms was starting to pull ahead or pull very close numbers as fury during 4.0.6 or 4.1 I think? Something about not wanting every fury feel like they HAD to be arms to maximize their performance

In other words, arms viable? Yes. Will it pull ahead of fury?`Doubt it

I think that arms will be competitive towards fury but will not overtake it, its all about play style really and what you prefer playing with, ill keep with fury most likely even though im giving arms a try

Arms will always scale better with weapons, Fury with AP.

New gear = A LOT of AP coming in, aswell as the class-wide melee AP buff.
New weapons, but none of them at 3.8 speed, which will gimp Arms a bit more.

All in all, Fury will be ahead, Arms will be a few percentages behind.

This makes no sense btw, every other tier has had a 3.8 speed weapon. =/
Poor form blizz, poor form.

Arms,if it's too far behind i might swap my main to my shaman or rogue,or go prot

I've liked the fury tree since vanilla so I'm not going to change anytime soon. Arms is no where near as much fun.

Staying Arms like I've done since Vannila. When/if my guild starts wiping on enrage timers consistantly I'l consider picking it up as a offspecc ;).
