Fury Dps Warriors

[Auggy]

I've had some fellow DPS warriors come to me for advice so I desided to make a little post .
First thing .... when you are a new 80 ..... gem strength...NOT armor pen or hit or stamina.Get all the armor pen you can from gear. Later you can gem for it .If you have a yellow slot you can gem strength/crit.
Never ,ever gem hit or pure crit . You only need to hit around 4% hit as a fury warrior . Yes , we're special that way. I know most everybody else is 8% hit .. not us .
Do your Daily heroics : save your emblems/badges, and spend them wisely.
This game was/is disigned to make us work for progression. Yay.
Resilience is for PvP play . If you have any gear with resilience. replace it for PvE gear if you want to raid.
Make all of the gold that you can in game . It helps to buy stuff that don't drop so easily . Like wrist, neck and boots .
I'll try to compose a list of *must have * items later .
If you have MS office ....... this will help you more than you can possibly imagine . http://www.vodka-guild.net/landsoul/ .. download the spread sheet . . It's like cheating . This is a secret. Please don't tell the non warriors.

Please feel free to ask me any questions . I 'm a firm believer that we can all learn from each other. You can post here or pm me in game or whatever.
And remember Jesus loves you and Auggy knows that .

Auggy, are you at all versed in the art of the Arms PvE warrior? I don't have anything against fury, I just don't think it's for me and I really enjoy the concept behind arms and would really love if I could do reasonable dmg with it.

As far as gearing, not much changes... Just the rotation is the factor.

I actually haven't done a lot with arms since I hit 80. I believe you do want to get the 8% hit though if you go arms. From what I've read arms is best for PvP also.

Here's a Warrior Tip of the Day :

This is a leather belt but you will gain more armor pen and do more damage in the long run than with the plate belt . I believe it's cost is 60 Emblems of Frost.

Not so nice when 4.0 comes out though so maybe keep a backup plate belt.

What you eat is also important . It can be the equivalent of 2 epic gems not counting the +40 stamina.
dragonfin fillet is good for +40 strenght http://www.wowhead.com/item=43000 and if you're ready for armor penetration there's nothing like a nice bow of Hearty Rino for +40 arp. http://www.wowhead.com/item=42995/hearty-rhino.

when do your gem for armor pen?

when do your gem for armor pen?

I wish there was an easy answer. The best and easiest way to know is to use the spreadsheet. http://www.vodka-guild.net/landsoul/

If you don't have MS Office/excell , then you can get with me or someone who has it and we can look it up and calculate it that way .
First of all I can tell you that you must be around 42%- 50% armor pen before you should even consider it . Don't spend anything for gear w/o arp .
Get Needle-Encrusted Scorpion
http://www.wowhead.com/item=50198/needle-encrusted-scorpion , (it's not hard to get ) then go for Whispering Fanged Skull http://www.wowhead.com/item=50342/whispering-fanged-skull and defiantly Deathbringer's Will http://www.wowhead.com/item=50362/deathbringers-will.
Death's Verdict .
These trinkets are huge raising your arp.
Here's something you can try if you can't use the spreadsheet ; go to a practice dummy , eat arp food and then strength food and see if you can see a difference.Remember .. str/arp food is the equivalent of 2 epic gems.

I wish I could give a clearer answer but contrary to some beliefs , Fury DPS is more complacated than drooling and banging your head against the keyboard , lol.
