Also, Hallow's End is around the corner for dat helm.

Yeah I know. But still not sure if I should be spending jp/vp on dps or tank set.

Spend jp for tank gear then just roll on all the dps plate in heroics you tank. Gogo instatankque

Can you have two Covenant of the Flame or is it like the Relic of Golganneth where you can only have one? I was rather annoyed that I couldn't buy a second Golganneth for my kitty spec. Even though it's not much of a difference between the two, I'd rather have one not reforged to dodge for kitty.

Debating what to get this week with VP. Down to necklace, ring, and relic for main bear spec before I start going for kitty pieces. Just want to know ahead of time if I should plan on having two or one Covenant.

Unique = can only have 1.
Unique-equipped = can have multiples, but only equip one (which is irrelevant here?)

Least, that's what it's supposed to be.

Regarding tanking on Warrior, as long as you don't lose much threat and can pick up things swiftly, I doubt anyone will complain. I tanked a good dozen trolls in a bunch of pvp gear and no one said a thing (except once, explained below). Just know your abilities. I loved how I got 2 whispers from healers about how I was healing myself, and asked what ability it was (Victory Rush; very potent on the first boss of ZA as the adds get cleaved down quick which enables Victory Rush). Some healers were also shocked that I was using abilities that they never usually see a Warrior use (I was Charging, Intervening, Heroic Jumping on crack!)

I did recieve one complaint though, 2 guys from same guild, both in partial pvp gear (I had only 2 pieces on at this point, helm and shoulders, they had more) absolutely shitting on me because of the pvp pieces. I checked them before arguing back and just "lol" them rather than waste effort. Luckily I didn't get kicked, and the healer wasn't evening ooming. When we finished, another guy asked we wanted to do another. The 2 guys said I sucked and needed better gear and just left before I got a word in. Heh.

Maybe if I didn't get threat or something then yeh I'd have accepted I'd sucked... but I don't! heh

Here's my gimpwarriortank (it's a low priority alt, excuse the gems and whatever enchants I might be missing), if you wanted a baseline for what to shoot for:

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...achdevi/simple
NOTE: I was using DPS T11 legs for tanking, until I picked up the troll legs a week ago. Will be replacing them with VP legs this week, hence ungemmed!
NOTE2: Meta-gem is a cheapo one I picked up. Not spending 300g on the shield block one until I pick up the troll tanking hat, or something equivalent!

Although threat matters little now but I have held threat by just a margin on some crazy mages, especially on Occuthar 25man, with worst gear. Some tanks can't even do that (remember, knowing the abilities and/or rotation and what generates threat!)

That's what I was thinking, but wanted to make sure. Thought it was odd it was Unique-equipped when you can only have one Relic on... to my knowledge.

Fury War - Titan's Grip

My rage generation seems so poor. I have 9.84% hit, 27 exp, and stacked crit for 20.xx% crit (according to my char info in-game)

Do I need to stack more hit?

EJ says to get 8% hit including precision, I assume they meant 5% hit?

**bechyni** · 2011-10-09 10:36

Eh for some reason I'm having the same login trouble as last time. I ran the repair but it still wont let me login.

Once you have 8% and enough expertise, thats about all you can do. Just manage your rage boosting abilities like shout and bserserkersrage and be smart about how you spend it. Use heroic strike rarely if needed, prioritize those other abilities.

**FailureMidgard** · 2011-10-09 13:02

AFAIK, warriors have 2 different accepted builds based on preference somewhat. Get 8% hit, and both max crit next, but after that you can go mastery or hit route. They are within like 30 dps of each other or something theoretically. Mastery has more burst potential (DW up) for short burns, hit has less issues with rage generation. There's nothing wrong with going well past special hit cap as a TG war though...just take crit first, but hit 2nd.

On my warrior, which is less than a week old but almost full purples in both prot/fury sets including the 365 crafted swords: I hate fury compared to wrath fury. I feel rage starved, its not as fun, its a little clumsy (although, I did get bored of warrior after so much of ICC, so take that with a grain of salt).

I've been dying to buy 2x obsid. cleavers to run SMF. I think you prioritize slam over RB as SMF, and I hate RB, I detest RB, I loathe RB.

I will admit though, Arms never gets old in PVP. If anything I'm having more fun now. I just wish I didn't still need 800 macros to be decent at all.

**Boyiee** · 2011-10-09 23:34

Been farting around on prot warrior alt lately as mentioned, only heroics so far (not even trolls).

I know that mastery is a pro stat, but I really don't know if I should be gemming straight mastery since I'm doing mostly heroics and MAYBE t11 content if I'm lucky, or just not bother caring. The gems in my gear and enchants are literally things I had laying around being a JC/Ench on multiple characters...

Also no idea what order to spend valor points on, tips appreciated as far as VP/Gemming goes: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte.../Nasirr/simple

It's an alt, got a scales of life cheap I'm trying to resell. Not going overboard with spending or anything.

**BadKarma** · 2011-10-09 23:47

JP Body > Hands > Valor Legs > Valor Body > Valor Hands.

What I shoot for on my characters.

**Bilopdop** · 2011-10-10 01:22

I was looking to make a pure DPS class that was decent at soloing some older dungeons and tough quests.

Would that be a good idea, or is there a class that can be decent DPS(Not the best, but I don't want to be last even when I do my best) class that can use a non DPS spec or one that uses talents from all trees, to solo older dungeons?

**Kaylia** · 2011-10-10 01:27

Hunter is the only one I can think off that is "pure dps". Otherwise, you're better off with a tank spec on a hybrid class (druid cat with bears offspec would let you switch very between both very easily since they use the same gear).

Beside that, Blood DK is the best soloer you can get if you want to do "top tier" soloing material.

**SamanosukeShiva** · 2011-10-10 02:53

seconded tank spec for soloing stuff

**fantasticdan** · 2011-10-10 02:54

Pure dps classes don't do more damage than dps specced hybrids, in fact specs like balance and shadow are top tier atm. There really isn't an advantage to being a pure anymore, so don't let that sway you from playing a hybrid if you prefer to play one.

The best classes for cutting edge solo are dk, hunter, paladin, and warlock, probably in that order. Hunter being by far the most fun to do so on imo. If you just want to solo easier stuff like most vanilla bosses, karazhan, old 5 man heroics, etc, probably any class can handle easily those by now with the right spec.

Using auctioneer, is there a way for me to buy multiple auctions at once?

**Kaylia** · 2011-10-10 12:01

Yes, there is, but I'm not using ti and can't tell you how.

I don't believe so, iirc this is one feature they specifically tried to remove to reduce the 'bot' aspect of it. Even when doing advanced searches and finding lists of things to buy by criteria with a 'buy all' button you still have to confirm EVERY purchase. So it's not really saving you any clicks if you're just trying to buy 20x1 auctions of truegold or whatever.
