problem with lvl 48 WarriorFollow

First of all, I would like thank the admins for such a good website where it has good discussions in regards of the game, and good mannered replies from all the members.

I play in Aman'thul US server the name is Brnphenom (phenom for short)

as the title says above I have a major problem with my warrior (specd Fury)

In the past few weeks I have been slow in lvling up coz two of my friends(warriors) has joined the game and I am waiting for them to lvl up now one of them is 46 and the other is 47, another warlock lvl 63...

when we go to instance,lets say maraduan, against several of 45 elite trees, they somehow deal alot of damage on me and takes out my health instantly while my friends health dont even go less than 50%, I was specd in arms and I didnt have enough rage, now I am all in fury, and yet the problem remains even with my rage up(but not for long) the rage also goes down instantly.

it must be somthing I am doing wrong ?!!? I have a decent gear on me I wanted to link you my character but I left the game with festival custom on in SW lol...but you guys check on later when I logg in to check my armor and all the details that my warrior has.


again my problem is I die quickly...not only that a grey lvl elites in scarlet one of them actually can take about 50% of my health and he's GREY LVL!?!? my weapon is blue item enchanted with demon slaying I for got the name though it's a 2h sword speed 2.90 dps 38.5

One thing is I would move some points around, check out the 17/44 build starting out with the straight fury, which you have, but some points are questionable, at least to me. But I dont think thats really your issue. I noticed the Imp berserker rage which makes me wonder if you are in berserker stance all the time. With your lower crit chance and minimum gear for agility, which is good, you want str and stam, but you also take alot more dmge for an increase of only 3% in berserker stance. I use that stance when I stance dance for certain abilities.

Also, staying behind targets help alot and avoiding pulling aggro off the tank, as I surely hope you are not tanking with a furry spec, can be done OT in lower instance, but still might be a problem. Also as fury, you should be max DPS meaning two hander or DW - dual wield, with a sword and board and if you are bersker stance all the time, well that could be your problem in addition to pulling hate. Even with low levels as a say 31, I could take down a 35 pretty easily, well not EASILY, but still have a good bit of health left on melee and this is with DW, which is all I do, even though there is not real +hit until later levels, which you are coming on. WIth updated gear, and everything you have, you should be tearing trhough mobs pretty well without taking too much damage. I stic with Battle Stance, and even have my two hander AND shield on my toolbar to swap out and stance dance for certain abilities.

If youre in Battle stance most of the time, then try DW or a slow two hander instead of the sword and board. Again, I dont see with your low crit rate, a sword and board, that using berserker stance is as beneficial as battle stance for the most part.

DOnt think this is really contributing to yout problem, but if you are taking on multiple mobs when your issues arise, then I would also check wowwiki.com under fury talent builds as well as the faq here for fury builds, each have a couple talents interchanged, but they both have mostly the essentials, like flurry,

thank you guys for the reply, I will also look into what you guys said...

I have a feeling its somthing I do wrong....but I dont attract mobs to me with CShout..or anything...

I will read more on wowwiki and see what I can come up with...

thak you again.

I didn't level up my warrior as Fury...went straight Prot all the way to 65. So please excuse this question if I am way off base.

But shouldn't Fury warriors have a bit more AGI? It seems everything that he has equipped it straight STR and STA. Looks more like my tank gear when I was about that level. I understand that the OP is concerned about dying fast...but trying to tank AND dual wield dps is just asking for trouble. Seems to me that he should be trying to avoid taking damage and can therefore afford to bulk up his crit and dodge by mixing a little AGI into his gear.

And what is with that +12 dodge ring? Dump it for something that will give you some stats. The minimal increase to your already dismal dodge rate isn't worth taking up a ring slot. Same thing with the gun...the dps is nice but it gives you zero stats. You don't shoot often enough for the dps to be useful. So aim for something with some stats...even if the dps drops.

I think you will see a massive boost in survivability once you hit your mid 50's or so. Just keep at it.

Again...I leveled as Prot. So maybe my advice is a little off.
