Duel Wielding vs 2H for WarriorFollow

#1 May 15 2008 at 12:41 PM Rating: Decent
I am confused of what is better for Warrior? DW or 2H.

1. In PvE.?
2. In PvP.?

I am a noob...been surfing, but just can't get a solution what seem to be the best...well, in average?

Any EXP in WoW please help...

PvE: Raidwise, DW fury still wins on DPS afaik, though a 2h arms warrior in your raid can increase melee damage through debuffs.

PvP: 2h still wins, through high burst dps, mortal strike and the overall better talents (second wind, sword/mace/axe spec) in the arms tree

PvP: 2-handed Arms is the best. In arena, dual-wield is only viable if you already have an MS warrior with you, and even then it's kind of questionable.

Raids: One raid-specced MS warrior is a huge boost due to Blood Frenzy. Beyond that one warrior, DW is bestdamage, but Fury/Arms 2-handed warriors are still good. In PvE, 2-handed weapons are very latency-dependent.

Solo/small group: Doesn't really matter. DW is the highest damage except it's very gear-dependent, and as a result 2-hand fury is the best/fastest leveling. Once you have the gear, DW is the best for instance damage. MS isn't highest damage, but it's not bad by any means.

Okay..despite the 2 pros have their own "strategy" using DW or 2H(also called MS?), are below 2 DW good for PvP/PvE?

Is there anything I should change then?

By the way...some Macro Questions,

How do I do macro if I want to do,

Change stance to Berserker then use bloodrage?

Their answers were pretty solid. MS is Mortal Strike.

If you're leveling and have to ask, a 2H Slam build is best for PVE. A 2H Mortal Strike (MS) Arms build is typically best for PVP.

The Warrior PvE DPS F.A.Q. has good links to talent builds for you. The Warrior FAQ has more builds, including PVP builds.

I may be retarted for saying this but I've read all of the builds. Was looking at the 20/41/0 2h fury build. But everyone says fury is good. You kill fast but die fast....I don't wanna die fast and have to take more time tracking my way to my body. I currently changed from sword and board. To much def and not enough rage build up.

I love duel wielding but also love a great 2h sword. There is a similair thread by mazra asking the same thing but I was called retarted for asking to many questions. Most of the builds are PVP and raiding builds. No level by level builds for people who are getting used to there class.....

How many times can you ask the same question using different words? Play the game, get a feel for it yourself. At worst, you hate a particular spec, and spend a few gold on a respec.

This isn't rocket science.

Edit: Oh, and nobody called you retarded in Mazra's thread. You must be confusing that for the rogue forums, where you did the same thing you're doing now: repeating questions instead of taking the advice you've been given.

That said, I'm calling you retarded now, since you don't seem to learn.

Again, thanks for all your comment and clarifications. It's kind of hard for me to undestand every details in very short of sec. I thought of the easiest way was to do both and feel the difference.

Conclusion: if DW have high hit%, then it's good to use in PvE, not sure about PvP as I haven't tried

If 2H have faster hit rate, which I havn't found what is the fastest 2H yet, but the 1Hit damage seems to attract me more...plus the hit% seem to be higher than the DW...

Corret me if I'm wrong.....thanks,
