    Fury pulls ahead

    should be fine to play Arms in a raid that only does normals

    Arms is viable, but fury scale better with increasing stats and with t15 tier bonuses

    Arms might even be better at the start of the tier depending on your gear but fury scales better, arms is definitely viable. At ~509 ivlv arms is 1k better at ~538 ilvl arms is about 15k behind according to simcraft.

    Well but that is also because of the meta gem which benefits fury much more.

    In my opinion Arms is still an option even after reaching 520ilvl, when you dont have good crit pieces and/or two decent weapons (for example in a 10man where weapons drop rarely and you only have seen the 535 noncrit offpieces). In a perfect environment where you can basically choose your gear freely, fury is ahead tho.

    arms is better than the simcraft shows, simcraft uses the wrong trinkets in the BiS list and it undervalues slam
    i'm sure their are more errors than that,but those are just what i have seen so far.

    Unless your pushing in a serious hard core progression guild AND you can play the spec well enough, then arms is perfectly viable in heroic modes also

    Careful man, saying positive stuff about arms will get you lynched around these parts of town.

    But no seriously arms can do perfectly will even in heroic raiding. Granted fury will do slightly more damage but the BiS sim was done with wrong trinkets etc like stated many times before by plenty of people.

    I don't think there is enough statistical data available yet to give an exact estimate - maybe at some point later in the tier depending on how fast new content is released and how many more give arms a try. Still I personally wouldn't really suggest going for it unless you really enjoy the spec in which case you will be fine.

    because it is irritating to tell a person what they want to know and have someone start bitching about how they think another poster is basically saying their spec isn't viable because another spec is significantly stronger than it

    and it's just like jesus fuck

    play whatever spec you want to

    but don't complain when OR IF your guild tells you to play a different spec or gtfo. a raid group is formed by people working towards a common goal, and if you don't give them the impression that their goals are your goals as well, you will be shitcanned regardless.

    As said it depends on the level you raid at, IF your not a serious progression guild pushing for ranking then honestly your not gonna be benched for playing arms unless your not a good player, and the stuff about but fury is better well yes it is, but if thats the case fury gets benched for rogues, dks what not which wont happen.

    P.S. 99% of people who try to fool themselves they are serious progression raiders actually aren't, they just like to pretend they are to either themselves or on forums.

    Because fury is wildly exciting and such a complex spec to play?

    eh its more fun then arms for me, but i guess to each their own. When I play arms I feel like I'm playing a glorified version of whack-a-mole.

    Feel the same way about fury myself, in theory can produce better numbers playing it but tend to get incredibly bored fast and then numbers tale off as lose focus

    Fury pulls ahead at 510-515ilvl, before that Arms is better.

    Not true. It's more like 500, and depends GREATLY on weapons.

    Meh.

    My warrior is 505 equipped ilvl, but I'm using LFR 483 Darkmist Vortex, and my best weps are LFR 491 Shin'ka (w/gem) and LFR 483 Shin'ka (no gem obv)

    Therefore, Arms is vastly superior because my Fury setup just isn't there. Damned weapons never drop...or good trinkets...
    ill probably be infracted for this post

    Why are you using DMV over pretty much any other str trinket out there?
