Is solo Arms Warrior viable in BGs and SoloQ at all???

[SteelGrip]

Yo Guys!!!

I got back to WoW a bit after about 1y pause.

Mostly playing only solo BGs and SoloQ Arena as all my old friends are gone and I only play on weekends 2-3x a month.

I am rocking my Ret Pally: http://armory.warmane.com/character/...ecrown/summary

-- Having a lot of fun on her frequently being TOP kills in BGs - it's pretty easy actually with self-heal

And my Arms Warrior: http://armory.warmane.com/character/...ecrown/profile

-- This one I am having hard time with most of the time - is really hard to play War solo in BGs for me

So ...

I tired playing my War with 1100-1200 resi instead of 1000 and I find it a bit more fun.

But I was thinking ...

1) Should I abandon my Warrior for good and just buy Shadowmourne for 150 coins for total BG domination / Anihilation on my Ret???

2) Should I buy PvE offsets for my Warrior + PvP Helm ??? Will it be worth it in BGs without a healer??? Or will I just still find myself dead most of the time LOL

Any ideas? Advice??

I was thinking of droping JWC or BS on my War for Engeneering for BGs (like I have on my Pally) and maybe even Tailoring ... but all the changes just made me feel and think like I want to make my War into my Pally lol ... so maybe just better to buy that Shadowmourne on Pally and get on rekking faces ... even harder ...

IDK ... thanks for tips!

I am actually still missing Wrathful SHield on my Warrior. Only have Furious one (for points) - not sure that might be issue?

Just want to point out I found a solution to solo Warrior in BGs :D

it's called: 1300 resilence base :D :D

Works like magic even in 40man BGs :D :D

Give it a go if you struggle playing solo War :D

[SteelGrip]

Alright few BGs later :D

Still works the best with at least 1 ****ing healer in the group xD

Otherwise you just die really slow :D

I mean last WSG it took Frost Mage and 3 random dudes to kill me with all def CDs up :D

But since no healer I eventualy died in about 3-5min fight xD

This became my favourite topic. Keep on bro, detail every new discovery :D.

Btw a really fun way to play while being drunk. Go full pve fury in bgs :D Intercept > Cleave + Whirlwind and finish them with cleave + bt if they are still alive.

Ehehehehe thanks man :D

Sounds interesting might try it :D

But my PvE Gear sux compared to PvP :D

Gotta farm the gear first xD

I used to do A LOT of BGs before.

I had fun on DK, Ret, Feral and Rogue the most.

I did not have fun on Warrior tho.

Hope this helps. :D

[SteelGrip]

Thanks Gnimo! :D I am thinking of making a DK - I mean I already have 1 on 80 and 1 on 76 but no gear ...

I recently saw a hybrid blood-unholy spec - looking pretty strong:

Thinking about trying it out ...

I am currently deciding wheather to buy Mourne for my War or Pally
Or whaether to gear DK and buy Mourne for him

[Gnimo]

For UDK in PvP, especially BGs, you should be fine with Bryntroll HC.
In some cases of 1v1 with good rng on the proc, it can be better than Shadowmourne.

I saw **** ton of ret/prot paladins that dont even use SM, maybe try that spec out before u spend coins? :D

As for War, SM is kinda huge, but it wont help u getting killed or kited in BGs. :D

[SteelGrip]

Hey Gnimo!

Thanks for ideas!!

In the end I donated for Wrathful helm :D and done some BGs:

Also met few guys that healed me :D - I guess healers like to heal geared up people LOL :D

I am currently sitting on 1350 resi base with 2H on my War in BGs
1510 resi with Shield :D tanking Destro Locks and Huntarrds in front line in 40man for days :D

[Bastardbottle]

1 week and no news, Im starting to worry.

[SteelGrip]

Yo mate!! @Bastardbottle!

I wasn't playing in a while :D only play on weekends and not much :)

Don't have as much time to dedicate to game as used to 10y ago :D :D

Anyways probably gonna buy Penumbra + Ring or straight up Mourne or all 3 during this weekend :D

Made some money that I planned to dedicate to donating :D

Will update you for sure :D

[SteelGrip]

Also I actually posted the update in different topic :D last time:

"Hey man! I ended up upgrading my Warrior a bit!!
http://armory.warmane.com/character/...ecrown/profile

Bought:

Wrathful Helm
Fal'inrush

Switched enchant on weapon to Executioneer
Switched few gems around for more resilence

Currently very happy with this setup - is much more survivability in BGs as solo War - usually I live long enough to someone heal me LOL :D

Kept the Pally the same - currently thinking about putting Onslought Cape on my pally for EoF instead of Wrathful back :)

Yea ... I think I am gonna buy Penumbra Pendat for my War next with the 277 Agi ring ... SM ... well we will see :D"

Way to go bro, show em the power of gnomes. Show them you alone can stand against a 40men boxer, do it as your next challenge.
