WTF? No 1 handed swords for warriors

[Holydin]

now that some one mentions DK dual wield, I'm trying that atm, and yeh, game lacks Str. 1H weapons, but the BS crafted one has got some good AP, make's up for it.
I don't think anyboddy will miss them, I rather have to live with AP/Ag 1H then some boss drops 1H str. weapons that are usefull to 1 maybe 2 people in a raid, and you end up DE'ing them 9/10 times.

I've looked many item lists and didn't find a single "real" warrior DPS 1 handed sword in the whole WOTLK???? What is it with that? Do they think all dps warrs must be furry and have titan's grip. All dps swords have agility bonus, the 2 or 3 str bonus swords are all tanking! Not a single epic 1h sword with str bonus and dps bonuses combined ( ap, crit... ) that just isn't fair. And I can hear it already... all the rouges & hunts calling warrs ninja for taking "their" items! Don't get me wrong, I love agi bonus, but still... str bonus is way bether for a warr than any agi will ever be... plus wanna bet that in every single raid the warr rolling for a 1h dps sword is gonna get called ninja by some noob. EPIC FAIL from Blizz

Fail troll is fail.

Prot warriors who don't stay in one set of armor/weapons for the entire raid use dps 1h's now and then, especially OTs. You're stuck in combat and can't dual spec to dps, adds are dead and boss needs dps, etc.

Prot warriors who pvp as prot (it's fun) want good 1h's for obvious reasons.

That's a minor role of one spec out of 30, so it's understandable why there's no str on weapons. Besides, the stat to care about on a weapon is damage range (a function of speed), the rest is gravy. If a 1h weapon had 200 dps and int instead of agi I'd use it.

1) If you're a good prot warrior you'll have a dual spec for fury so you can buff the raid and do dps.
2) Prot dps with a shield>Prot dps while duelwielding.
3) Warrior 1h dps is a thing of the past

Nonsense! They made 1h Axes for Orc Enh Shamans, that's even less amount of people than prot warrs!

1) You can't change spec while in combat, but you can change weapons. If you're an OT do you go afk after adds die? Do you go afk after one of thaddius' guards are dead? What meaning did you get out of "Prot warriors who don't stay in one set of armor/weapons for the entire raid use dps 1h's now and then, especially OTs. You're stuck in combat and can't dual spec to dps, adds are dead and boss needs dps, etc."
2) You can't dual wield shields. If you're prot wearing a shield, chances are you have a 1h in mainhand.
3) Not arguing that. Just pointing out to all the people that live in a world where everyone has to wear one set of gear and one set of weapons at all time that there are situational uses.

Did you not read these exact words "it's understandable why there's no str on weapons"?

the only spec i could see 1H swords working for is. http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?warr...2&version=9901 and even then its like wtf? lol

[Baabinator]

I would go for:

http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?warr...0&version=9901

Ur dps would be crap, but you're utility would rock
