I've been reading some threads on tbc warriors but it was all mainly for endgame dps and not about leveling utility.
So is it better to go fury in the early game or arms. Also how is improved cleave? Are the points in improved heroic worth it or is it better to put all into deflection?
Thanks
1. Improved Cleave only increases the bonus damage on cleave, not the actual damage, it's a pretty terrible talent choice.
2. Improved Heroic Strike has very little use for levelling, since you won't have enough rage for your main abilities, let alone Heroic Strike, you can still take it for Fury though, it's a must have talent at high level, but then you would also have no real reason not to take 5/5 deflection as Fury. These are Arms talents anyway, if you're levelling Fury you would avoid these until you've maxed your Fury tree.
For levelling I recommend Fury because you can still use a 2hander and do as much damage as a 2handed Arms Warrior without having to deal with weapon specialisations, and if you get 1handers you can use those too meaning it's more flexible. But that said if you come into PvP situations you would be better off as Arms.
Just play what you like to be honest, it's gonna be hell either way.
Fury because it has Sweeping Strikes. Sweeping Strikes + Whirlwind is a real killer vs 2 mobs. Arms is nice but not having Sweeping Strikes is just too much of a deficit.
