That salute was a revival of the old Roman salute and it was done with the other hand.

irronbeard — Wed, 07/22/2009 - 11:26

And the salute was used by the vikings, most chiefts/warriors used it as a greating of high respect and honor...when addressing a crowd or group you would salute to state "Glory, Power, and Triumph." Hitler took alot of Norse mythology and used it, thinking it would "empower" him and give his troups and himself suppreme power...hints the Swaztika, was a symbol of Power and Honor, and Strength...The symbol can be seen on Thors hammer. Alot of symbols now adays are considered "racist" do to hitler...when there not...there Herritage!...i where a Thors Hammer around my neck 24/7, and believe me, alot of ppl think im Racist because of it...

My thoughts

Dragon — Sat, 07/18/2009 - 09:41

#1. RESPEC - No seriously at your gear level respec arms. Fury is back to being its old heavy gear dependent self and does not start outpacing arms till a majority of Ulduar Gear.

#2. Latency - Find some way to drop that latency down. Especially if you spec arms since ideally you would like to be in the 150ish range. If you are running Windows Vista or XP there should be topics on this site as well as Elitist Jerks and the internet that give you ways you can lower it.

#3. Glyphs - As fury you should be easily swimming in rage come boss fights, so pick up the glyph of whirlwind. Also consider dropping Glyph of Victory Rush and picking up Glyph of Cleave. Glyph of Bloodrage would be good too instead of thunderclap which you will have to change stances to do as fury.

#4. Enchants - Shoulders and Helm are both enchanted with resil. That is bad especially since your offhand weapon shows that you are already revered with the Ebon Blade. Also your 2 weapon enchants are just downright terrible. 2h weapons can get up to 85 AP on them but honestly you should be trying to aim for beserking on both. Yes they are crap weapons, but you never know when an upgrade will FINALLY drop. Also your gloves are fairly decent, time to change to 44 AP to gloves. Pants are also not using the best enchant either (75 AP/22 CR).

#5. Gems - First of all you do NOT need to match gem sockets with their color. Any gem can go into any gem slot. So you can take out all those hit gems and hit/expertise gems and move them to straight strength. As far as the AP/stam gems go, you are selling yourself short, get the Str/Stam gems for extra AP.

#6. Current Talents - If you are having problems with range (and since you are very much over hit cap) drop points in precision and put them into Berserker Rage instead.

Ok I think that is enough for now. Just know that the App process takes a LONG time and as a dps it will take even longer. So you gotta stay active on the site and hang out in DFrecruit.

Edit: One last thing, what is your fps? I've dpsed on a warrior with bad fps (read >3) and high fps (60) and I can tell you that is another big thing that changes dps warrior damage.

Oh!...btw

irronbeard — Mon, 07/20/2009 - 19:58

btw i switched from Fury to Arms and you where currect about DPS/Gear with furry...lemme relink my armory/talents...check it out when u can...got any suggestions lemme know...ill check it out...http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Gorgonnash&n=Irronbeard...oh and dont mind the PVP stuff...they where better than the shit i had b4...and will be replaced...so yea...DO IT NOW!

The Cookie-Cutter Arms

The reason I linked the fury one is two-fold. Since you aren't a tank and have no plan on tanking, you are better off making your 2nd spec fury so that on fights when you need to interupt you can change specs and Pummel at a lower dps opportunity cost than if you were arms.

Improved Execute > weapon

Kwondre — Tue, 07/21/2009 - 10:18

Improved Execute > weapon mastery? Obv very gear dependent, but would like to see the theorycraft behind it

No you are right i forgot to

Dragon — Tue, 07/21/2009 - 10:33

No you are right i forgot to check his expertise before hand (I was basing it on my warrior who is soaked in hit). Still though it should only be 1 pt in Weapon Mastery to get him to the 6% passive dodge cap and then keep the 1 point in Improved Execute.

This Blows!

irronbeard — Wed, 07/22/2009 - 11:35

So...i was in VoA25 today with my new spec and gear and stuff's....SOMEHOW my dps droped...horribly as well, after looking over the forums and whatnot for a proper and usefull rotation...my dps "though limited at the time" went from a crappy 2300-2500 dps to a SHITY 1900-2000 dps...AND i got passed up on loot cause i was on the bottom...seriosely wtf is going on now...This "Cookie Cutter" spec doesnt seem to be doing more at all, infact, its doing worse...past few days i was 6th on damage done...now im 18th... I dont know what the deal is...im in Battle stance, as told, and doing the proper rotation "as shown" and keeping all nessesary CD's on CD but for some freakin reason...im worse off then i was b4...im not going to argue with Cookie Cutter...but maybe suggest a highly In Depth look into possible causes for this HUGE drop...idk maybe i should be talking to a DPS war or something...Forums dont help...just a bunch of ppl arguing about whats better or worse...gets nowere...so idk...WTF is going wrong here!?

You were fury before

saedo — Wed, 07/22/2009 - 12:02

You were fury before right?

Well, your gear seems off for Arms.

  1. You're no longer dual wielding so you're now 2.52% above the hit cap, that's about 83 rating above, all wasted stat points.   
  2. Haste gem in ring?
  3. 3 Blue colored gems, 1 too many.
  4. Why is there a resil enchant on helm when you're exalted with Ebon Blade?
  5. Sons of Hodir is still at friendly.
  6. Is the 2 pieces of pvp gear real gear?
  7. Is crit > str for warriors?

Also, I've heard Arms is though better with lower gear, is also very swing timer GCD frame rate dependent.   If you have a shit computer, it'll mess you up.

Answers

irronbeard — Wed, 07/22/2009 - 12:37

Yes i was fury

dunno why im so hi in hit...i dont have anything besides gear that adds to hit

yes i have a haste gem in ring...when i can afford stength ill get one of those

Resil enchant on helm...the Ebon Blade enchant is 120g...so im saving for that :p im broke

Yes im still freindly with them and workin on it

idk what u mean by real...but the pvp gear was better than what i had b4 so...i had to take what i can get

im not sure...i would imagin strg > crit because of the +to attk pwr...but im not clear on this

i have a custom comp(that i build) 3gDDR ram duel core AMD pros. NVIDIA GeForce 9500 with 1g DDR2 Dedicated Raphix, high speed Internet, and a 24 inch HD flat screen 1000:1 ratio monitor...i should be fine.

saedo — Wed, 07/22/2009 - 12:45

By real I meant if it was your raid gear, or just slapping on a couple of pvp pieces while solo'ing.    Which means, enchant that chest.

And with that, if you yourself say str > crit, why are there crit gems in your gear?

Try to get a parse of your dps. Im sure there are some warriors here that can tell you what youre doing wrong.

take a gander

irronbeard — Wed, 07/22/2009 - 11:40

DPS SUX!!!!!!!DPS SUX!!!!!!!

So?

irronbeard — Wed, 07/22/2009 - 11:41

Now What?

sounds fun

h4mm32 — Sat, 07/18/2009 - 09:16

as a great attitude for a character sounds fun to play with,

"Your ass, or a hole in the ground?: 

My ass"

sounds like he's a tank though which i like of course.

if i see you posting in dfrecruit ill try to help you out

 

WOOT!

irronbeard — Mon, 07/20/2009 - 19:23

although i hate tanking now...because...well lets just face it, baby sitting sux. Dps for now ill see what goes on in the future...but thx alot i need all i can get :P

Overall on the armory, I'm

saedo — Fri, 07/17/2009 - 12:42

Overall on the armory, I'm gonna conclude he's not in a raiding spec, glyphs, or gear.   Here's a few points....

  • Victory Rush glyphs, maybe more for solo'ing or trash
  • Spec I'm not too sure of, but appears to be based off *not* using Slam, and a bit more for soloing with points in enrage.
  • Has a self healing meta on helm instead of a damage one
  • Resiliance enchant on shoulders, Friendly with Hodir

 

I think a new question on the apps should be added, "Are you exalted with Sons of Hodir or have 400+ Inscription skill?" 

Almost

irronbeard — Mon, 07/20/2009 - 19:25

well, what u saw in the armory has changed...for the better...and i am very close to SoH exhaltion?(word?) so i got a few bugs to work out...CHECK ME OUT AGAIN!

not so much

h4mm32 — Sat, 07/18/2009 - 09:18

"Best Damage for Wars in Raids"

considering your gear, not so much you need to reconsider your spec, fury is so gear heavy these days and naxx gear just makes fury suck major cock right now

regardless even with you're spec

you're using precision instead of imp zerker rage or a combo of both, and considering you're hit doesn't take talents into affect you're WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY over cap nerf you're hit drop precision.

not taking imp cleave vs commanding presence can be argued especially if you have more than one warrior in the raid for commanding presence but generally speaking if you're aiming for strict dps, which warriors badly need these days, then u need to pick up at least the 3 points and drop to 2/5 in commanding.

you should also try and aim for execute if possible as a fury warrior its pretty integral on those boss fights to pop your bloodrage and zerker rage and then exe spam to burst you're dps.

consider 2 points in parry and putting 2 points in imp charge for a stance dance HS charge to get a decent rotation going and getting deepwounds moving.

as saedo said whats the point of enduring victory and the victory strike glyph how many bosses is that going to be useful for?

 

you're prot spec/ glyphys are down the same road

 

imp rend(i rend as a tank, one of the few in the guild who does but not imp), tactical mastery(how often are you stance dancing as a tank?), imp spell reflection and imp disarm(how many bosses can you disarm, 4h?) before incite or tclap?

glyph of sunder...... i'll let you explain, but for the record it does no added threat to the secondary target it just puts up a sunder.

and you're missing two minors not that warrior minors are paramount to ability of the class but either way..... fix it

 

Btw...again

irronbeard — Mon, 07/20/2009 - 20:03

Oh one more thing...i dont plan on tanking anytime soon...its just kinda something i have "incase" type and not focusing at all on the prot spec...kinda a "friends and family helout" spec when i run stuff...so pay no attention to that...that changes rarely as much as my dps spec...ironing out the kinks in my DPS is far more important...plus my skills in tanking are...how may i say..."less than adiquit(word?)".....so yea...

Spelling sux...

something you all may have to get used to if u choose....

if not...idk...yell at me i dont mind :P I R ARTARD!

Response

irronbeard — Mon, 07/20/2009 - 19:28

A huge part in my lack of glyphs / Gems is my lack of money...now this may sound newbish but i dont really work on my professions...im mining/skinning and i rarely farm...so...thats why u see those shitty mcshits floating around...a am very aware of my Hit rating being so hi...lately i droped it down...not to much...but i did...i also just got my tier 8 legs WOOT! so...im workin on it...what little help...helps...and critisism(?) goes a long way...so...yea...rock on...
