[DPS Warriors] Stat Priority?

[Nocharles]

I know there are some incredibly knowledgeable Warriors in DnT, and I can't seem to arrive at a conclusion independently so I am seeking input from all sources: I am trying to decide what priority to give Armor Penetration as far as my gear goes. It seems with about 35% Crit Raid buffed Flurry is up almost all the time. This in mind, I know that Armor Penetration is a static percentage increase to damage. So would it be correct to assume that once at about 32% crit, (Unbuffed) one should move toward any Armor Pen. and Str as their primary stats. This is all assuming the special hit gap of 9% is closed. So anyway, what are your thoughts on this as a method of priority for stats, assuming the hit is there, and at least 30% crit is as low as you will go. Armor Penetration Attack Power Expertise? Haste Crit Hit Let's try to establish a semi-solid hierarchy.

What spec are you?

Armor pen is better the more you have. So its a tricky stat to give a priority. Most of the armor pen pieces you take are switched out with crit on gear. Its a really grey area. Schmit might be able to help you some more. But you seem to have the gist of it down.

Good to hear, after some discussion on my guilds website, I kind of decided that the priority was only there once you reach 30% crit unbuffed, and that should really be as low as you'll go. As really any lower and you'll take too significant a hit to your Flurry uptime. Obviously the more ArP you have increases the effectiveness of Executioner, but I was wondering, is there a point where it's a DPS reduction to use Exec. over Mongoose? I'm pretty sure that with the recent availability of ArP gear to the general public that it's almost a non-factor, so it may be a moot question. Anyway, thanks for the input. Side Note: How the hell do you not have Armory Profiles? Witchcraft?

Also, something convenient is that even with Executioner, and the Chest I have being my only current sources of ArP, I still reach 1k ArP with the proc up. So I guess at this point my goal should be to get more of it without dropping my crit too much.

That dropped for us in our first ZA on patch day. GG loot tables.

Since you're fury gonna rely on crit atleast somewhat to keep flurry up, should aim for around 35% raid buffed with 200+ hit. If you have less hit then that drop some ap to get your hit up. after you get the crit and hit just STACK AP and you're golden. Other then that stack your group, enhanc shaman, feral druid etc. 10% ap WF and 5% crit is GG for dps.

[lambach]

SHUT THE fuck up with your bad advice douche bag. +hit is stupid. Shut up. Never drop AP for hit, unless you are under 9%, which is stupid.

Who cares about fury warriors? 21/40 or 33/28 slam specs for lyfe.

[lambach]

Shut up priest Took me a sec to figure out what you meant by 21/40. For a sec I thought you were meaning Death Wish sheild slam build ....its been a long day at work...fuck, long week, get me outta here. Anyone wanna run some ZA this weekend?
