Thing is.. you can have all the stats you like but if you miss, they won't do you any good.

I don't disagree that TG is going be a lot better at 80, but it's not going to be omgsuperawesomeoverpowered like every one thinks it's going to be. They're buffing it tonight(?) from 15% miss to 5% which is great.. but until 80 there's no way of saying whether it's THE raid spec.

Even if it is.. arms won't be far behind.

I want a new UI, bored with standard + Grid

Something minimal, and yeh I've looked at Caith's which I do love, but wondering what else people are using

#1031242 by Draed (Power User) at 2008-11-04 22:03:24 (4 years ago) - [Quote] - [Report]Top

Well, if you like minimal Grid is still the smallest group/raid solution there is.

Personally I use X-Perl + Dominos and Grid in Raids.
Here's my hunter twink with my standard UI I use with all my chars.

i love my new ui that I fixed last night. Though it's designed for ether widescreen or 1620resoulutions, so you might have to do some tweaking s with that

though don't mind the micro bar to the right, I just pop that once in a while to check our arena rating since I did bind that hotkey to something different

But when you cap out on hit you won't miss anymore and your dps with titans grip will incrase twice as fast compared with two 1h weapons.

You can keep saying that over and over.. but Blizzard has repeatedly said that they want to balance arms and fury so that both will output comparable DPS.

Yes, and we all know how good Blizzard is at balancing things. :rolleyes:

hmm tested out the new paladin patch. Have to say that it isn't so bad that I thought, could still beat my 401 resilience frost mage mate, and my paladin have a wopping 175 with the merciless sword and vengefull chest!

i take u never played war then as that is pretty perfectly balanced at least when i played it at launch it was. You cant deny the fact that wow is so unbelievably unbalanced so there isn't any sensible argument to be had

By capping hit, you are sacrificing other stats equal in weight to the stats you've gained by using 2 two handers including the huge dps of the weapons.

If you're saying buy upgrading weapons once your hit capped will scale greatly, you are wrong. As the game progressing all your gear will by upgraded and you'll have to continue to make the sacrifice there for hit.

That's the entire point of the huge hit requirement for titans grip.

ore you just put on the hit talent, thats like, what, 3%? so you have a 98% hit rate then...

5% hit is equal to 15.7 hit for each %. That means you get a little more than 5 dps and a little less than 6dps using 1h weapon instead of titans grip today if you don't count the weapons stats.
But lets just compare it now shall we.
2h Sword
http://thottbot.com/i33688
134.2dps
46str
62sta
hit 15
crit 46
res 33
armor pen 14

vs
1h Sword
http://thottbot.com/i33762
103.1dps
30 sta
hit 8
crit 21
res 12
ap 34
armor pet 7


The difference in using two weapon at the same time. + menas better with 2h. - means better with 1h
+62.2dps
+92str (or 184ap or 14dps)
+4sta (40hp)
+14hit (1% hit)
+50crit (1% crit)
+42res

-64ap (4dps)
+14armor pen
as you can see you gain ALOT of item stats AND DPS if you use titans grip instead of two 1h weapons. IF they had the 15% penalty it would have been a complete different story and the weapon would prolly not scale until early 80 epics.
If you would throw in two level 80 epics in the comparisson the difference would be even greater as the penalty of hit don't increase with the item levels but the item stats keeps increasing TWICE the speed of using two 1h weapons.
Titans grip is so going to get nerfed all the time as the gear in the game gets better and better just to balance the game. Imagine the forums how they are going to get swamped in whine posts from noob warriors without brains.
If I start playing WoW again Im gonna play on my gnome warrior and spec titans grip for leveling. Not only will my gnome look good I will do massive damage.

Just to make this clear this is not compared to any other talent specs this is just pure difference between 1h weapon and titans grip fury build.

Unbelievably unbalanced? How exactly? For a couple of weeks there with Retri being ridiculous.. maybe.

And WAR was unbalanced when I played it in Beta. Maybe that changed, but it wasn't the only thing that made me realise WoW is where it's at.. at least until there's a few content patches for WAR.

@Relur: You're forgetting the +hit you already need as a Fury warrior is included in that 5%, and that gear scales with the combat rating system. Essentially you will still be sacrificing stats for +hit to cap at least your yellow attacks even if you factor in the new gear. As it stands now TG would only be marginally better.. even at 80.

Do you even know how stats and item levels works?

No I did not forget that you need HIT as fury warrior. In fact every class needs +hit even the arms warriors. Thats why the comparrisson was made between FURY warrior with two 1h weapons and FURY warrior with two 2h weapons.

Relur wrote:

A fury warrior with two 1h weapons has the same chance to hit as a fury warrior with two 2h weapons if you don't count the 5%
Understand so far?

MEANING the LOSS from STACKING 5% HIT is EQUAL to 5DPS.
Do you understand now?

sensory wrote:

Tell me where I forgot that. In every calculation I have the World of Warcraft combat system and the stats all encounted for, and that is exactly why TG is going to be really fucking good. Because if they scale it after the best possible gear in the game the spec is going to suck until you get that gear. But if you scale it after the worst possible gear int he game its gonna be überfucking ownage in every way.
Do you understand so far?

A 1h weapon (one handed weapon, it is used in one hand by every class) has a X ammount of points in stats. Everytime a weapon gains DPS or STAMINA or whatever it increases the item level.

A 2h weapon (two handed weapon, it is used in two hands or in one hand by fury warriors) has a X ammount of points in stats. It has TWICE as many points in stats because it is a TWO handed weapon meaning it will have HIGHER DPS and MORE STATS compared to a 1h weapon.
Do you understand?

IF the stats on weapons was scaled after the gear you wear a two handed weapon would have the exact same stats as a 1h weapon and there would be no increase in dps.... that would be fucking retarded because nobody would ever dual wield or use two handed weapons. You would only run around with a dagger and a shield. Because that dagger would scale with damage equal to a two handed sword.

Do you understand?
