Warriors Under-powered?Follow

#1 Dec 14 2008 at 3:32 PM Rating: Sub-Default
Right, im am a Arms Warrior, and i duel weild one handed swords. Now, i've had every wise-*** tell me during instance runs that i -should- be using a two handed weapon. Now, im not a mage, i like attacking every second instead of the stupid 2-3 second wait with a two hand. I also dont want to waste good enchant space with +haste ratings when i could use them for +Attack power or +Hit rating. Need advice here what to do?

I'm no warrior expert, but as far as I know, the reason arms uses 2-handers is because most of your damage comes from abilities. Abilities deal weapon damage of your MH weapon (and often +X). If you're dual-wielding you've got a 1-hander with significantly lower damage in your MH, reducing in significantly lower damage on your abilities.

I'm assuming that this is your character.

You'd have more damage potential using a 2H weapon and Arms with slight changes from your current spec. You'd probably also do better as Titan's Grip/Fury once your gear improves a bit more. Your current build is not optimized, and your weapons are faster than what you'd want (2x 1.5 speed), even as a traditional DW (1H) Warrior.

Why would you be enchanting for haste with a 2 hander. More to the point, why would you be enchanting (or gemming) for +hit.

Sorry mate, but if you're simply waiting around for your auto attacks to do damage, then it's no wonder you're getting grief.

As an arms warrior, you should be spamming one or other attack on every GCD, and the majority of those attacks are based on weapon damage ... which, incidentally, is much higher with a 2 handed weapon than a 1 hander.

Need advice ... stop sucking and listen to people.

If you want to be a rogue, then for goodness sake, roll a rogue.
