If they can let fury warriors DW 1-handers or 2-handers and let Frost DKs use a 2-hander or DW I don't see why they can't make a 2-handed Enhancement spec.
You can Melee DPS, Ranged DPS, and heal.Originally Posted by Chin Music
Seriously, let vanilla go.
rofl no...Originally Posted by Chin Music
compare the number of talents of a warrior/rogue/dk which increase the effiency of wielding a certain weapon
compare the number of talents of the same for a shaman
this is for a reason.

On topic: I really don't see the point of giving fury the option to actually choose whether to use 1hands again, or 2hands, as there will always be one of those who will be the better specc, and a lot of people blindly just follow what other people calculate.
Unfortunately, yes. I'm sure Blizz will do their best to balance it out (Shammies STILL not competitive on charts? WHAAAAT?), but depending on gear, one will always be 'better' than the other.Originally Posted by Thafisker
My vote is with 2-handers; that's how I've come to recognize Fury. The badass slinging around massive weapons like they were toys.
However, I want to try both out with the changes :3
im currently working on a DW 1h spec for warriors on the PTR
so far its actually decent, expecially considering im way under hit cap when i use 1hers and also missing 2 enchants and 2 gems
it would be nice if there was a dps analyzer (like rawr) that allows me to use 1hers but sadly rawr either only has 2h weps or 1h and a shield
Oh yes, there is a method to my madness O.o

Frost 2h is about as viable as 2h enhance. So there ya go, they do allow it.Originally Posted by Chin Music
It just blows.
Now we just need support for staff warriors.
Nom Nom Nom [NNF] (2 points) - When you Ferocious Bite a target at or below 25% health, you have a 50/100% chance to instantly refresh the duration of your Rip on the target.
The reason is they're trying to get out of the whole mentality of 'this spec is better so use it' and having all of your talents points being mandatory for that spec. They want you to have some free points to spend on utility/fun talents and not just pure dps talents as well as spec whichever dps you want and not be hindered simply because you like a different play style. They're doing it with all dps specs so bringing back 1handed fury only goes along with it. Of course for raiding/pvp there will be specs that are superior, but they're really trying to get out of having everyone without unique specs and allow players to decide whether or not they want a utility talent or a fun talent without sacrificing dps.Originally Posted by Thafisker
i think its because too many classes is after 2handed weapons.. fury warriors unholy dks, retpalas, feral druids, blood dks, arms warriors.. And the only classes using 1 handers is shamans frost dks and rogues.. and frost dks dont have any str 1handers.. and rogues are mostly dagger..
I actually think its cause blizzard wanna bring back str 1h weapons to make frost dks better and warriors and ease out the battle for the 2handers..
not to mention hunters which use either 2h or 1hOriginally Posted by Ivpiv

it so frost dk's wont be the only one rolling on the slow str 1 handers in cata.
Think they're gonna try weening warriors back to 1handers to be honest, to help with the creation of loot.Originally Posted by Thafisker
Right now we got rogues/shamans/DK's/hunters fighting about the phsyical onehanders. OtherDK's/warriors/rets/hunters/druids for the 2handers, albeit in this area there's less crossover than what it sounds like.
In Cataclysm however, there will be strength onehanders and those will only be looted by frost deathknights. Figure it out yourself from that point onward.
With the above taken into consideration, I don't think they'll remove Titans Grip, but maybe weening us out of it alittlebit.
Personally, I'll probably go back to 1handers assuming it's equal to titans grip, only for the purpose of making loot easier to deal and as such speeding up the time it takes to have a more geared raid.
On my server alot of them did do 1h furyOriginally Posted by Seizen
In bc that is
they also did during TBC not just in vanilla wrath is the only exceptionOriginally Posted by Seizen
because they would need to basically change every other spec and that's too much work.Originally Posted by Chin Music
Sorry to be such a nab :/
But how are they making 1hander "viable"?
And are you talking about upcoming 3.3.5 or Cataclysm?
Cataclysm and the means is the name of the topic aka "Single Minded Fury". This is going to be a 1h equivalent of Titan Grip that gives you a bonus to [something] if you are using 2 1handed weapons (just like TG allows you to use 2 2Handers but reduces your dmg)Originally Posted by Taik
I originally started playing WoW and eventually made a warrior because I watched my friend play his warrior during TBC, I've always seen warriors as the sort of fast, bloodlust, in your face slashing you to pieces characters. Swinging 2handers has been very fun but for me I've always preferred the 1handers, it just looks more epic when attacking in my opinion.
