A Day in the Life of Me.

Just getting a early start on some /dancing for an AB win.

Hello and welcome back to my blog. I've been been getting a lot of views on my blog and I thank you for that. I'll try to keep this as on topic as possible. My blog posts at the moment are kinda scarce until Monday or Tuesday, I have a lot of stuff going on irl, plus my p2p account just gave up on time so my GF is now playing my f2p account. On a more on topic note; I'm currently grinding my way to my first BoA via Call To Arms; sadly its going to take like 4000 - 5000 honor to get the one piece I want. Best in slot is best in slot, no? :) I recently discovered something today from a level 20 twink huntard who was pushing 2,000 hp. I took a quick glance at my chat log and saw he was drunk off of Whiskey! So; I guess the f2p community does have their own version of Rumsey Rum after all, even though this costs a lot more and you can only have 3 at a time but still, 200 health points is worth the money imo. Keep in mind however; your faction needs to keep a hold of the town that sells it, otherwise you'll get butt-fucked by the guards.

Lets see what else do I have to talk about... Back on the whole 2 handed and dual wield bit. I am starting to think that dual-wield is better than 2 handed for a consistent stream of damage whilst 2 handed is made for roflburst and rending. To each their own though I suppose; I personally suggest any warriors run around with both sets of weapons, as no one weapon is BiS for every single situation. I've been asked by a few people if I'm getting two AGMs or one and the answer to that is one. I don't like gimping myself of a potential lifesaver. I usually say stay with consistency however; I highly advise any warrior to also run with an Insignia of your Faction so you can have a bit more assistance "surviving".

Some people have also been bothering me about how the video is going. I never said it was going to be done over night. Good things take a while. This video is one of the biggest projects I have ever done with Warcraft (well that and this blog... moving on) and I want to put some good time and effort into said project before I release it to the general public. I'll probably release some small videos soon about me dueling people but that maybe it... Not really; entirely sure....

Thats pretty much all I have for this post of this stature. I'll post more like this when I can't find anything to blog about.

The Great Debate - 2 Handed, or Dual Wield?

Ihasfury /rawring and making dual-wield look sexier than it really is.

Greetings and salutations everyone who views my blog. I apologize for not making a blog yesterday, I was extremely busy and I hope the three blogs on the 4th were good enough until I released this new one.

As many warriors and viewers of my blog have been wondering; which one is truly best for a fury warrior? I have been asked this and told by many people that dual-wield is better than 2 handed for the extra rage generation. Furthermore; you gain extra stats from your OH weapon and also, some have said that the abilities do not scale with the type of weapon you use. Meaning; you will always do x amount of damage regardless of what weapon you have. I find this to be false and I also find 2 handed to be best in slot when running around in PuGs and Dueling.

I have ran around with both for about 500 honorable kills (which is about 10 wsgs and abs, mostly wsg) and in my experience with both, regardless of winning or losing. I've always killed more people, I've always done more damage and I always feel more useful running around with a 2 handed weapon. Just yesterday, I did 2 ABs back to back, the teams were mostly balanced and I decided to run around with dual-wield during the first one, and 2 handed during the second one. I found that I actually did roughly 3,000 more damage than I had with a dual-wielding weapons. Now, I will not just say 2 handed is BiS for every sort of situation, this is just untrue and extremely unrealistic, there are going to be times where rage is always needed and dual-wield does provide a bit more of a rage generation than 2 handed does. Rage is your primary resource to pump out damage, which is why some warriors prefer to run around dual-wielding.

Now, below this text I shall be listing what I believe are BiS weapons for both 2 handed and dual-wielding (links are there, scroll over item names).

2 Handed - Reef Axe / Cold Iron Pick, Riot Stick (A)
Dual - PvP Vendor Swords, Warrior Quest Axe, Other Good Weapons to Consider

So it's obvious it does have an impact on Rend.


Now for actual numbers:

Highest Bloodthirst crits are, with both setups, between 450 and 500. Normal hits are ~200. No noticable difference between both setups. Highest melee crits with 2hander are around 400, highest crits with 1handers are around 240 (main hand ofcourse). 

Note - With the whole "chance to hit" weapons, I tend not to use those because of the generally low chance rate for said ability to proc. Regardless, I am not telling you how to play your character and if you feel that a weapon that procs is better than another, that is your opinion. Stick to what you like and I'll stick to what I like. I am also here to provide information and how to better your experience when playing the warrior class.
