MS vs whirlwind

[ShackR]

hi i was wondering do we really need MS its really gimped atm
so was was wondering since whirlwind is a kind of MS extra attack 25 rage 10 sec cooldown its really not as good as MS but when your fury spected you have 5 rage cost reduce on execute ,10sec reduce on intercept and flurry
only thing is you need to switch 4 overpower butt you have pummel since you spend most of your time is berserker stance can somebody tell me what you think about it :)

A lot of the 'warriors are gimped' cries come from warriors who stay in one stance at all times.

The key to warrior's powers is our combat utility. You use the stance appropriate to the situation.

Whirlwind on it's won is a pretty good attack. It's biggest drawback is it's 10 sec cooldown, so you can't just use it by itself to deal enough damage, because you should be getting more then 25 rage every 10 seconds.

well i change alot with my stance for intercept disarm etc but since i got ms its getting a little bit faster but before i got MS i used whirlwind all the time and im leaning towards fury build becuase well its becoming better then MS :S

So, why limit yourself to whirlwind when you can MS and whirlwind? If you're comparing notes on WW to MS you also can factor in that WW will always take 25 rage where MS only takes 5 if you miss.

but sintor u have to think about the adds ull get. u will get flurry too and flurry is nice combined with overpower. im still ms speced but i could think of this spec as a nice one too. too bad i didnt test it that much that i could advise it. anyways its annoying to have to switch between battle and berserk stance that much while grinding etc...

I do plan on testing out duel wield a bit more too once I get Ripsaw from Zul'Farrak to complement my Axe of Rin'ji for offhand.

The biggest problem with Fury builds I personally think is that the Arms tree has better talents. You miss out on the weapon specailizations(particularly axe, which increases your damage by 10%), sweeping strikes, and Mortal Strike, which still is our best damage/rage mid-combat dumper.

I'll probably respec once again and try a Flurry build at 60. I'll have to see how high I can get my crit rate, though without Axe Spec it will be harder, and without Mortal Strike I'll have to dump rage into Heroic Strike for my main damage.
