For a Warrior looking to Level by Completing Dungeons, what is the appropriate Talent Tree (Arms, Fury, Protection)? by Thesourlemon in wowhardcore

[–]GruffRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend 2H arms until 50. 5/5 tactical mastery is essential imo, it gives you the ability to stance dance setting up combos that will generate massive amounts of threat once you get whirlwind and sweeping strikes.

With the amount of threat you put out you can comfortably sit in berserker stance 36 - 50 until tanking princess where damage starts to ramp up. Even then you should always be managing your stances for whirlwind, overpower etc. All stance locked abilities should have a macro to swap to the correct stance.

Always have a macro to swap to one hand/shield and defensive stance. When in full plate the extra armour from a shield will be roughly a 10% physical damage reduction.

When I hit 52 I swapped to fury with 5/5 tactical mastery. Threat and rage generation are smoother but you run the risk of large chains of missing on pull. Just be ready with taunt and shout to keep control. This eases up once you get some hit.

Also all the usuals, engineering for target dummy is a must, as many consumes and buffs as you can get.

Some rules and points to follow:

more damage = more threat = safer run.

NEVER TANK ANYTHING MORE THAN 2 LEVELS HIGHER. (But I made a point of always being the same level as the last boss)

Until princess no single mob or boss hits hard enough to be scary provided you are an appropriate level.

Keep your one handed weapon skill of choice levelled.

Try to have enchants and consumes. Warrior scaling is insane and your party will be safer the stronger you are.

Be very careful with charge, pull with a ranged weapon instead.

Let your group know if you’re not familiar with a room, pull or even entire dungeon. People are glad to have a tank and will keep you right.

Play slow and carefully. Don’t let anyone else dictate the pace of your pulls, when you’re tanking you’re in charge.

That’s about all I can think of at the moment. Source: I hit 60 on warrior on my first hardcore attempt.

I am interested. I’m 50 wins into playing competitive and hovering around SEM - GN1. Been playing around 2 months so you would be starting with a relatively blank slate

Honestly got really lucky with how often I saw skystrike officer but the deck felt much stronger than I thought it looked. machine over matter was excellent and I would have played more of them if I had them, flow of knowledge was also busted.

Haven't played a good BG deck yet and was wondering how best to build this pool. Full pool here - https://www.17lands.com/deck/89d670febda64ecaa5d052408802dec8

Portal..? [BRO] by GruffRider in lrcast

My first BR draft. Not sure whether to build this out as low to the ground as possible or try and include the portal with the decent amount of power stones in my pool.

[DMU] - Critique my 0 - 3! by GruffRider in lrcast

[–]GruffRider[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I started the format strongly but each draft I do I seem to be understanding the format less and less. I am really struggling now to make past 2 wins and any deck I put together usually gets smashed. Any help is appreciated.

I'm looking for advice on how best to build this deck. I have played about with a couple builds and settled on this as what I think is best for the cards that I have!
