Every week, WoW Insider brings you [hide]The Care and Feeding of Warriors[/hide], the column dedicated to [hide]arms[/hide], [hide]fury[/hide] and [hide]protection warriors[/hide]. Despite repeated blows to the head from dragons, demons, Old Gods and whatever that thing over there was, Matthew Rossi will be your host.
Last week we talked about [hide]transmogrification[/hide], and although I have more I’d like to say about that, I have been promising to talk about PVP for a while now. And in fact, I do PVP quite a bit. The problem is, I PVP as either protection or fury. I do a lot of battlegrounds, I hit Tol Barad about once a day, and I do rated BGs fairly frequently. What have I learned from all this?
Fury is a surprisingly viable PVP spec. My raiding spec has room for mobility and versatility talents, so I don’t even have to respec to PVP effectively. If I were a PVPer primarily instead of secondarily, I’d probably tweak my build for Furious Attacks, but I do fine without it.
I prefer Titan’s Grip to SMF for PVP use. I also raid with TG, but I’ve tried both and I just prefer being able to pop my cooldowns and throw a Bloodthirst/Raging Blow combo on someone after an intercept and get the burst potential of TG.
Fury does lack some of the tools arms or protection can bring. If you’ve PVPed as arms lately, you’ll know how addictive Charge/Throwdown/Bladestorm can be. Prot has a lot of tools for stunning, silencing, interrupting and otherwise hindering casters. Fury lacks these tools. If you’re doing fury PVP, you’re basically hoping to do as much damage as fast as possible.
Doing as much damage as fast as possible is ludicrously fun. I’m going to be honest here: The reason I like fury PVP is because it’s all or nothing. In an Arena setting, I expect I would just get burst down every time, but in the mad chaos of group PVP fury has the potential of doing sudden, savage damage to a single target or even a group, interrupt flag capture, hinder base turnover, and in general just be a gigantic prickly ball o’death at the worst possible time for the enemy.
