The Warriors’ Charge

Okay.

Okay, I was intending to do a completed Hellfire Citadel loot list, but the World of Warcraft: Legion reveal left me with some questions that I thought we could talk about here.

There's a lot of Warrior gear in Hellfire Citadel.

Is it just me, or is this the least interesting patch for warriors ever?

It's practically a song at this point. Sing it with me — warriors are gear dependent, gear dependent, gear dependent, warriors are gear dependent, and we love crit. Pretty much all warrior specs love crit: Prot likes it, arms likes it, fury wants to make delicious movie love to it all night long.

Warcraft's lower levels can be a bit uneven to advance through: I picked up a low-level warrior, kitted her out in heirlooms, and burned through Elwynn and Westfall to get a feel for the Fury spec at low levels.

Now, this is still fairly early in the patch cycle, so it's hard to make assumptions based on these notes. Big changes could pop up at any time. But as things stand right now, apparently Blizzard thinks warriors are pretty well off going into patch 6.2. And the thing is, I'd probably have to agree with them. Warriors work, for the most part.

How might Gladiator's Resolve change in the future? We take a look at what Blizzard might do with this level 100 talent.

Gladiator's Resolve is probably the best level 100 talent for Protection Warriors whether or not they intend to use Gladiator Stance.

While I've been working on leveling my alts, my main focus has been on raiding normal and heroic modes in Highmaul and Blackrock Foundry. Due to the luck of the drop, I've gotten my hands on two Blackrock Foundry one handers, and so I've been raiding as Single-Minded Fury. My quick and dirty take on the sub-spec is as follows.
