Hi guys, this is my first post here. however since i couldnt find any post that has any alternative pvp builds aside from the cookie cutter Arms / Fury build, i figured i would post this here hopefully it will be read and will actually give some useful tips to warriors looking for an alternative pvp build. These builds were inspired by Murthpvp.com but i just wanted to share my opinions about them.
First up is 2h Fury/Arms -
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=LV0xkhbZVVzA0xRqzqoc ->
PROS – maximum DPS ive ever seen, flurry 5v5 actually makes all the difference, rampage ups AP insanely, More AP = more damage with bloodthirst, faster whirlwind, existence of deep wounds meaning it still has the bleed duration dmg which strangely enough without a DPS warrior is totally gimped
CONS – no MS, no Imp intercept, no Imp Hamstring, no Second wind, no blood frenzy
It should be mentioned that this build succeeds in BG’s because well BG’s are damage races, but utterly fails in 2v2 because of the infamous absence of MS. However, should a 3v3 team be consisted of another warrior with MS and blood frenzy it would do EXTREMELY HUGE DPS. Lack of CC though so i dont know if this would actually succeed in 3v3 arena with an MS partner and a healer.
I also tried these builds :
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=LV0xkIbqMbdbZVZfxt0hoz - > arms / prot somewhat successful in interrupting healers, BUT damage is kinda gimped. Ive managed to stunlock healers in Arena skirmishes games, problem is it doesnt have Enrage which is a big damage boost to warriors. Absence of blood craze makes rogues kill me faster with their white crits and no piercing howl means I cant slow people much
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=LZVVzuMxRiziZfxt0hoz -> 2h fury / prot -> has its the ability to actually stun your target for 5 secs and has last stand which is totally useful in 1v1 fistfights, kinda hard in bg's where the fights are damage races and multiple people damaging you.
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=LZVVzAxxRiuqof0t -> dual wield fury / prot -> kinda works, but very lack of burst damage is not fun. Totally gimped in arena, and 50/50 ish gimped in BG’s. Totally squished by melee classes specially plate wearers, but surprisingly clothies die with this build. Mage casts get interrupted constantly and rage generation ensures that I have 100 rage before executing.
I just have to mention that you will need Tactical mastery to keep switching stances and even 1h+shield ALOT to keep spamming disarm and spell reflect for any of these builds to keep you alive long enough to kill do any damage.
I havent tried any Prot PvP builds yet, coz well truth be told i dont have that much time. but hopefully this post has given some info and actually made certain Fury wars to stop whining that they cant PVP with a fury build.
