Hi!

Amazing site ..its now my Bible LOL. Keep onthe good work!

Ive just started my second warrior on a low pops server. Im not always in group so i was wondering if whit a build like u guys use ,is there a chance for me to survive grinding and doing instance?? And tanking for a group??

If not can u suggest me a build please?? and wich tree should i fill first??
Is it possible to tank whit a 2hand weapon??

I need to level a lot bymyself so i need a pve before a PVP and for now im not in any guild.

I despretly need a build.

(sorry for my noobiness ... text can look weird im not english)

(Is it normal that i cant find a lvl 27-29 dagger for my rogue?)

If you go to the members section from www.nurfed.com (not the forums member list), you can see our talent builds. Mine is pretty standard, except that most people take 2h spec over Axe spec.

I was not aware you could make an undead druid:


Scorch Undead Thottbot Talent Build

I could tell you about scorch, but we aren't supposed to discuss our "Special" members.

But can u do instances ?? and keep on tanking whit that amazing Axe ??

Or you picked another build for leveling??


is there a tree or a skill that should be fill in first ??

thank you !

Yes, you can tank with a 2H weapon. I've only found it completely neccesary to use a shield in the later game raid instances such as Onyxia & Molten Core.

I wouldn't recommend tanking with a 2hder unless you have the best gear possible and know what the hell you are doing, your normal, average run of the mill priest won't know what to do either.

Once I get the rest of my gear upgrades I could definitely see tanking against the regular mobs with a 2h weapon, but for now, I prefer just throwing on a shield for instances in general.

Also, without a very good group, I would say that using a 2h would be a very bad idea against late game bosses (The Beast, The General, Rend etc) as I am routinely taking over 500 damage from them with my shield, and can only imagine what it would be with a 2 handed weapon.

I am sure that with a 2 handed weapon you'll hold aggro better, and with a skilled healer, this would actually make it preferable to use a 2 hander when running through the normal mobs in an instance, but I personally wouldn't use one vs a boss.

Any comments from a top of the line warrior, tried tanking Beast/General/Rend with a 2 handed weapon? I've found that spamming sunder armor and revenge keeps aggro well enough for me that I don't want to put on the 2h weapon and take more.

Are there any benifits to using a 2 handed weapon as a tank?

I use shield for bosses only if I am the main tank or assigned 2nd tank, but most of the time I am in zerker stance after charge with 2h'er if in a raid.

It depends on the situation.

For instance the fire bridge in BRD, the elementals only do spell damage so no benefit to using a shield, bust out the 2hander and take them down faster.

In UBRS everything before Generals room can be tanked with a 2hander, makes the first room especially go much faster.

When you get into the 5pull groups in Gen's room, and Gen himself, sure you "can" tank him with a 2hander but I really see absolutely no benefit to doing so.

Some people are under the assumption that using a 2h would make it easier for you to hold aggro. Besides being something you wouldn't want to risk doing on a boss like general with a normal 10 man group, in the end it isnt more effecient in any aspect to tank a boss of that type with a 2h weapon.

Sure you are doing more damage per hit, and your skill attacks will be doing more damage per hit, thus translating into more threat generated per hit, but a few misses at the wrong time, like after using taunt to get aggro off a priest, and you will have a much harder time recovering that threat than if you had been using a 1h.

Its not a simple matter of deciding whether or not u "need" that shield on to tank X mob, you have to consider the benefits to using a 1h weapon in that situation over a 2h.

In most cases your DPS doesn't take as huge a dump as you think it does by using that 1h, and in all cases it will be more consistent than using a 2h.
