Well - I'm torn. Just about to hit 68 and picked up the Crow Wing Reaper in Sethekk yesterday. Is it worth respeccing to 33/26 axe spec? It's way better than my current blue/green DW weapons. But I love DW and the insane AP I have in Zerker stance (1900 self-buffed AP).

Any advice?

Also: if it is worth respeccing is it worth putting +8 strength gems in there?

ya, its a good 2h axe. if its an upgrade its an upgrade. cant hurt to repsec, but you could also try out 2h slam fury build. its fun as well.

at 68, regemming isn't really the best idea.

if it is better than your DW weapons, especially if you are semi-low in hit gear. You can just spec 17/42 and 2h dps, as slam is much more efficient than anything else for the last 2 levels. That way, you will keep your AP the way it is and even though your BT will be doing less damage than MS's, imp slam will def. make that different.

Alternatively, you can go axe spec and spec imp slam for even more efficiency [as you will have MS], but that's really up to you. You can dish out some good dps in raids as 2h fury since raid buffed, usually, you will be doing more damage with BT than with MS with the weapons that are available to you when you start raiding. Also, until you start gearing up for dw'ing [mainly the hit gear over the crit gear of 2h builds] it will out dps dw builds most of the time until the late stages of kara.

I have +80 hit and Precision so my hit is fine i think. Problem is I sacrificed some +crit (about 3%) for that hit. Think maybe I'll try out Imp Slam build (2h fury). That way I also keep flurry.

Maybe this 17/41/3?

you may not need precision then, so spec accordingly. You may want to put 1-3 of those points into something else like... piercing howl and/or imp. execute.

Also, you don't need [or want] 5/5 imp demo shout for pve. having 3/5 is enough to bring their AP down as far as it goes.

Lastly, having a point [or 2] in imp. OP would be a good idea... esp since you are picking up TM. HS will probably not be used too often in a 2h build as you'll be slamming in between every attack [ideally] and be using BT and WW with excess rage. Maybe pick up imp charge instead, or get a couple points into iron will. Heck, you can even go 18/41/2

2/5 imp. demo is actually all you need. Having more won't reduce mob AP any further unless they have a modifier that increass their AP on them, like Curse of Recklessness.

I'm sorry, i'm no where near 70, but just wanted to check out this 2/5 imp demo being all thats needed, is this just true for raiding, or is this the case all the way through? i've gone for the full 5 and while only being in my 30's if i can then i'd love to move those 3 spare points somewhere more useful.

5/5 isn't really need at your lvl...put them in UB or something
