VII) Warrior Talents
a) Talent Builds
Have a talent build not listed here you want to submit? Post in this thread or send me a PM!
Arms-based Talent Builds
Note: Adjust all Weapon Specializations to the one you're actually using! Sword Spec won't help much if you're using a Mace. Also, small agustments can be made to most builds. 5 points in a single lower tier talent can be moved to another lower tier talent. A good example is moving Imp. Demo. Shout to Booming Voice or Unbridled Wrath, or the other way around.
Arms/Fury PvP
33/25/3
Link to Build
Description: The pure Warrior PvP build, sacrificing most PvE utility for pure carnage. Mortal Strike and Second Wind from Arms, Death Wish, Enrage and Imp. Intercept from Fury - you'll be throwing out some significant damage with this build, assuming any kind of decent weaponry. Note that this build sacrifices nearly all PvE utility - no Thunderclap, no Blood Frenzy - just pure PvP-focused damage. If you plan on PvPing almost exclusively... well, this build is for you. Take it out for a spin.
Arms/Protection Utility
35/11/15
Link to Build
Description: A general Warrior utility build - giving you access to the damage talents of Arms, Cruelty, and picking up some of the best talents in the Protection tree - Improved Shield Block, Last Stand and Defiance. This build gives you Improved Thunderclap, Blood Frenzy and Endless Rage - letting you function as a nice PvE 'debuff-bot' while pumping out very strong damage, while also giving you great tanking options.
Arms/Fury PvE DPS Utility
33/28/0
Link to Build
Description: A nice, well-rounded Warrior build - but focusing more on the utility that you can gain from Fury than the Arms/Protection build does. You gain Improved Demoralizing Shout (a great PvE and PvP debuff!) and Improved Battle Shout. With this build, you have the best of _all_ of the buffs and debuffs that a Warrior can provide - 20% Thunderclap, 375 AP Battle Shout and Blood Frenzy. A good build for both PvP and PvE.
Fury-based Talent Builds
DW Fury with The Works
13/48/0
Link to Build
Description: A Dual Wield Fury build that picks up... well, everything. Imp Intercept, Zerker, Execute, DW Specialization, Imp. Whirlwind, and of course Precision, Bloodthirst and Rampage. If you love the utility that the Fury build can provide, then this is the build for you. The true heart and soul of the Fury tree.
DW Fury w/ Impale
18/43/0
Link to Build
Description: A Dual Wield Fury build that side-specs into Arms for Impale. Pure, unadulterated damage, in essence - you get Deep Wounds ticking, Impale for more Crit damage, Improved Overpower, plus Rampage/Imp. Zerker/Bloodthirst from Fury. The idea is to rip people apart, and... this build does it. You can move the points from Unbridled Wrath into Imp. Demo Shout, trading some bonus Rage for more utility.
2H Fury
17/41/3
Link to Build
Description: A basic Rampage/Impale 2H Fury build. Your primary damage from this build will be Bloodthirst, Slam and Whirlwind. Works great.
Fury/Protection
5/41/15
Link to Build
Description: An interesting hybrid build, giving you some decent Fury DPS while also providing for the main Protection talents (Defiance, Shield Block, Last Stand). Even though you're sacrificing alot of DPS utility, you pick up the more tanking utility!
Protection-based Talent Builds
Piercing Protection
8/11/42
Link to Build
A nice, solid Protection build that side-specs into Fury to pick up Unbridled Wrath and Piercing Howl (Piercing Howl is incredibly useful in Heroic instances to slow mobs down while you get them onto you). You forgo Imp. Defensive Stance in favor of other talents. A very solid build, built for Heroic 5-man play and raid use - giving you access to pretty much everything to reduce your incoming damage.
Full-on Protection
11/5/42
Link to Build
Ever wanted to pick up pretty much every Protection talent? This is the ultimate damage-mitigation build, giving you access to the attack-speed reduction of Thunderclap, the armor and Imp. Shield Block from early Protection. Very good build for Kara and heroics.
