Even more back now! I'm wondering what the proc rate is on that 2 piece. Either its ridiculous and fury will top charts every fight or its terrible to the point of being completely useless knowing blizz.

If you are avoiding the 4 piece for dps now, there's something wrong with you. More Recklessness the better!

Knocking 2.5 minutes off of Recklessness doesn't even come close to the overall dps you lose by using set gear.

Tier 14 set is just downright poorly itemized for Fury.

There are only two set pieces with Crit, and the majority of the set is vastly outclassed by other single pieces of gear.

I'm using Set Chest now as it has Crit on it. The other piece with crit are the Gloves, but they are much worse than BoE Bloodforged Warfists, which are BiS for gloves.

It is terribly itemized. But without being able to access all of that other gear by not farming normal HoF and ToES right now, the 4 set is actually quite amazing.

You don't seriously think that avoiding 4pc is the most optimal gearing solution, do you?

Incorrect, The 4 PC for T14 Fury is simply ignorant to pass up, The new set bonus's are terrible for prot and fury

It is if you can obtain the Heroic Chest, Shoulders, Gloves and Legs.

Unless you have all 4 of those in Heroic, then yes, intentionally avoiding the set bonus is the optimal gearing solution.

The shoulders aren't even one of the main four pieces.

And I don't even think you're looking at the big picture. Just because an item doesn't have crit on is doesn't mean it's useless. And the set bonuses are worth a hefty amount of SEP, more than enough to make up for the fact half our tier pieces that we'd use don't inherently supply crit.

Ooops sorry, I meant Helm not shoulders.

Comparing 483 LFR tier to 496 crafted/off pieces maybe.

496 tier, better.

I wonder about the tanking, sounds possibly quite OP, if I can heal without killing could I survive forever vs. raid bosses in old world? Maybe we can solo all of Ulduar now. :D

Still scurred of the nerfs but man Warriors just tearing it up this expac.

Not sure about the 4pc for DPS. To me it looks like we'll have to delay one of either skull banner or reck, since using them both at the same time would be overkill.

Just means you use SB on pull, reck w/2nd BB, then SB w/3rd BB, reck w/5th BB, etc.

How would that work with Bloodbath having a one minute cooldown and reck/skull banner being much longer?

Fury(SMF) being #1 for ALL Melee DPS=Fury coming back? How weird.

Also if you skip out on the 4pc from current tier you're just...not good. I don't know how else to put it--Sure, you could maybe squeeze out a few more % of crit chance without going for 4pc, but that would be absurd. My DPS saw an increase after I got 4pc when I replaced my Galleon helmet and I lost a good 1.3% crit chance or so.

TL;DR that human Warrior doesn't know what he's talking about. :/

Bloodbath is up every minute.
Skull banner is up every three.
Reck is up every five.

Skull banner aligns with every 3rd bloodbath.
Reck aligns with every 5th bloodbath.

Obviously you'd run into a problem on a fight longer than 15 minutes, but then you'd just repeat the cycle again. SB on BB #15, reck on BB #16, so on, so forth.
