I want to change my Warrior...

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.warcraft (More info?)

Hi there,
My L60 Warrior is currently 37 Fury / 14 Arms specced. I dual wield in
Berserker Stance and enjoy many features this way. But my friends says that
I need to respec into Protection and become a Tank, thats whats needed
really. I like my Guilds organization type and the runs they make and want
to be useful to the guild. But I also like to go out on solo to do some
small quests or grind for reagents, etc.
So I need advice on a talent setup which I can effectively Tank and don't
have any trouble killing mobs when I go out solo. I have good equipment for
Tank business and my guild is very friendly to support me for the items I
need, so its not a problem. (I heard that Tanking relies on items used as
well as talents)

Thanks in advance

Go to the official Blizzard warrior forums and you'll find plenty of
people with the strong opinion that you can tank effectively with
*any* spec as long as you have the right equipment.

If you are happy using 37 Fury / 14 Arms then stay with it. Who cares
what your friend says anyway. If you want to be one of those "cookie
cutter" characters then just do what everyone else does and follow them
along like a sheep

Take a look at some of the 31/5/15 builds on the Wow Warrior forums.
You loose out on some of the mid-level fury talents from a 31/20 build
but gain the basics from the protection tree.

5/31/15 might also be an option. It's one I've been meaning to try
since I think it would help with rage generation for tanking purposes
but right now my warriors 2-hander is a lot better than his 1 handed
weapons.

Yeah, it is nice not being stuck in a single role. I have the freedom
to do anything from being Main Healer to Main Tank. Although, I got a
strange request in a DM west run yesterday. I asked the priest in the
party if he wanted me to help heal or help tank. He said he wanted me
to DPS!!!

Funniest thing I'd heard in a while. I came really, really close to
going cat form. :-D However, in the interest of practicality, I did
bear with my MA gear (focusing on crits to hold aggro) instead. Gotta
say, it was probably one of the smoothest DM west runs I'd been on in a
long while.

The warrior, pally and I from that group ended up farming the tree boss
after so that the warrior could get some book that drops. I'd MT the
tree, the warrior would DPS and the Pally would heal. The three of us
were a machine. I think we hit it a half dozen times before we couldn't
get a fresh instance. Damn shame the warrior didn't get his book.

Noal

I am L60 warrior with about 38 days played now (about 16 of them as a lvl
60). I was arms/fury up to lvl 58 or so - then at the behest of my guild I
switched to protection. OMG what a lame way to play this game (as a
warrior). Sure you hold aggro, but your ability to kill creeps quickly is
seriously compromised. So, at about 6 or 7 played days ago, I switched back
to arms/fury. I am axe specialized and mortal striked in arms, and the rest
in fury. Using axes I get a crit rate of 20.55% - due to some of the specs
on my items/armor. I have 6/8 valor pieces, and a few purple items
(stockade spauldrons, myridon's sygnet, etc.). And, the most important,
IMO, I have the Arcanite Reaper with Crusader enchant. I also have very
good 1H weapons, most with Crusader enchant, and 3 very good shields.

Since switching to the above spec - and taking into account my gear - I have
EASILY main tanked any regular dungeon (included UBRS) with zero problem.
In fact, I am usually in the top 2 in damage dealt AND damage taken. I
never get complaints from casters or healers that I'm not keeping mobs off
them. You have to remember - just cause you're not prot specced, doesn't
mean you can't taunt, etc. So I frequently switch stances as the situation
requires.

As another responder noted, the 10 or 12 times I've been in MC I have been
an off-tank, rather than a main tank - but that didn't seem to cause any
problems, and I was still very capable of performing well. I've only done
ONyxia 2x, but I think the main tank is CRITICAL in that run, so we always
had an uber-geared prot specced warrior do it (as in 5 or more Might set
armor items, etc.).

But, the bottom line IMO is that being an arms/fury warrior is fun, and for
me, a protection specced warrior is not. I'm never going back.

I'm lvl 60, protection spec'ed, 46 protection, 5 arms, 0 fury. I can easily
take on 6-8 lvl 53 mobs simultanously with sword and shield and without the
use of any health potions. I can farm the western plaguelands like there is
no tomorrow. The force-reactive shield does help though

hehe. I have a lvl 38 druid also, and I hear you. Despite this, I think
overall fun of playing my druid beats my warrior - at the same level, at
least.

Which is still unimpressive. You need 150-200 FR to have a significant
impact on fire damage from Onyxia & MC runs.

Some, sure. Compare it to whatever you have in that slot now.

Care to grant a shopping list? To date, the only toons I've seen break
the 10K mark have been Druids.

Gotta call bullshit on you here.

The absolute *most* armor you can get as a Protection Specced Warrior
is 10026 AC. (Max armor from Plate is 9115.)

Fail to get any one of the items needed (which includes a BoP trinket
that you can only get from levelling Enchanting) and you're not hitting
that mark.

Most would have to be VERY heavily buffed to get to that mark.

Noal

Thanks for all the answers. I really think I should get some crucial
Protection Talents and still keep my most enjoyable Fury talents. Cheers.

# Piercing Howl - 1/1 point
Causes all enemies near the warrior to be dazed for 6 seconds.



Protection Talents (35 points)

# Shield Specialization - 5/5 points

100% chance to generate 1 rage when a block occurs.

# Anticipation - 5/5 points

# Toughness - 5/5 points
Increases your armor value from items by 10%.

# Improved Revenge - 3/3 points
Gives your Revenge ability a 40% chance to stun the target for 3
seconds.

# Improved Shield Block - 3/3 points

increases the duration by 2 seconds.

# Improved Sunder Armor - 3/3 points

# Improved Shield Bash - 2/2 points

seconds.

# Concussion Blow - 1/1 point

Actually there are two different books.
One is "Codex of Defense" (blue) which you can hand in to get "Royal
Seal of Eldre'Thalas" (warrior version:
<http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=18466>).
There is a book for each class, and each book leads to a different
"Royal Seal of Eldre'Thalas".

The other book is "Foror's Compendium of Dragon Slaying" (purple),
which is warrior/paladin only, and starts the quest for "Quel'Serrar"
- an epic 52.5 dps one handed sword
<http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=18348>.

well, I was talking about the Quel'Serrar one. That other one I don't even
consider worth worrying about.

Oh, btw, those 2 books for the Quel'Serrar chain sold within 45 minutes.
Both of them. Sigh.

But I got a lionheart helm last night, so that is something.

I decided against improved disarm and improved revenge. I play on a RP
server and do not engage in any PvP, so I don't use disarm an awful lot.
I have respec'ed many times and this setup works best for my playing style.
I'm in Molten Core a lot, otherwise you'll see me farming most of the times,
or helping other people out. But admittedly a good warrior is dependent on
good gear. I got 8700 AC unbuffed and an excellent shield with AOE. My
guild calls me "Imba"

I am a Tank LVL54 and I can do anything solo specced as a defensive tank
with 1H weapon. You may not make so much damage and do not gain rage
points that fast but as a defensive specced warrior you can take much
more damage.

You need to get a 1H Weapon + Shield
You can get +3 Damage on the Weapon that is the best el-cheapo
enhancement. There is a chain that can bind your weapon to your hand, so
nobody can disarm you, but I don´t know how much that enhancement costs.

Get the Thorium-spike on the Shield, that is the best enhancement for a
defensive warriors shield.

What you do all the time as a warrior is
a) charge
b) defensive stance - Taunt, revenge, shield-block
c) eventually switch stance at 20% of mob and use execute

Here is my 51 points plan depending on V 1.6
Protection Tree - 31 Points
Shield specialization 5
Toughness 5
Improved Shield Block 2
Improved Revence 1
Defiance 5
Improved sunder armor 3
Improved taunt 2
Concussion Blow 1
Improved Shieldbash 1
1H Weapon specialization 5
Shield Slam 1

Fury Tree - 11 Points (Fury is not essential for defensive warrior)
Cruelty 5
Improved demoralizing shout 5
Piercing Howl 1

Arms Tree - 9 Points
Deflection 5
Improved Charge 1
Tactical Mastery 3

This page is helpfull
http://wowvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Talents.View&category_select_id=5
is updated for V 1.6 now.

I was off by by less than 1%. Not exactly "not very accurate" either,
statistically. The royal seal is the one I missed. Ironic, given the
topic. But that would put me at 9195, I think, so you may have missed
something I got.

Missed those entirely, my bad.

Never said it's not possible. I just said that it's highly improbable.

Different strokes. I consider the Royal Seal trinket the best blue warrior
trinket in the game, and wouldn't even pay 10g for the lionheart helm. Go
figure

I think the Royal Seal is the best FOR MC. In general, I don't think it is
that great (200 armor and 10 fire resistance?). I already have 65 fire
resistance from the gear I've collected for MC, and with buffs it goes to
85. My armor is about 8500 with buffs - not that great, i know, but will
200 make that big a difference? I've seen some heavy prot specced warriors
get over 10K armor.

As for the lionheart helm, sure it wasn't cheap - but I think it is worth
it for BG activities, which I'm getting more into. I'm up to 23.5% crit
strike with my crit armor. But, you're right - the beauty of this game is
how infinite the combinations of gear/talents, etc. that there are.

The guy that I am thinking of had 5 or 6 out of 8 epic armor items (I think
they were mostly Might items, but I don't remember what they all were). His
unbuffed armor was over 8K, and with buffs he was either right at 10K or
just below. He 'said' during the run (which was for onxyia) that he had
some proc hit that gave him an armor boost and he was over 10K. I wasn't
trying to be scientific.

I can't vouch for the accuracy of these things, but I did a quick profile
search on allakhazam and found at least a few warriors with over 10K armor
(although the one with 26K is a bit questionable):

http://wow.allakhazam.com/profile.html?32101

Anyway. I'm not a main tank and don't want to be. I like being a damage
dealer/flag escorter/horde killer warrior. And even if I'm not that good at
it, I still have fun.

Your statement is neither very polite nor accurate.

possible.

Either Dark Iron Helm or Helm Of Might, depending on the need for fire
resistance. (I don't do PvP and have only been to a battleground once)
