    In a live Q&A on Twitch, WoW dev Ryan Shwayder announced that patch 7.2 will go live on March 28th

    Wowhead has done an excellent summary of the Q&A, as well as guides to the changes coming in 7.2 and what to do before the patch hits.

    Is that... a new Hippogryph? I MUST HAVE IT. Taking into account the abysmal luck I have with drops (remember the ♥♥♥♥ing fox mount?), I may have it in a few years.

    Me? Luck? With a drop? Hahahahahaha!



    No.
    I went back to my good old skeleton raptor mount. Which I farmed those ♥♥♥♥ing archeology thingies for months for. ♥♥♥♥ the fox.

    I'd like to ask a question for other Warriors in here: for single target DPS, which spec is the best? Fury or Arms? I used to be Fury, then I switched to Arms, but now I'm reading that Fury is more powerful than Arms in raids?

    Because of Arms Mastery and its cooldowns it is better on single target, it can only do good damage in AoE thanks to Bladestorm which has a fairly long cooldown.

    Unfortunately Nighthold has a lot of encounters where you have a single large add you need to cleave along with the boss or lots of small adds that spawn regularly so there are only a handful of encounters where Arms is optimal.

    Trilliax and Krosus (if done properly) are the only single target encounters in Nighthold where the Emerald Nightmare had a lot of single target encounters.


    Fury has an easy rotation (less buttons and less proc dependant) and can do good continues damage against a multitude of target ranging from 1 to 5 so it works on all encounters.

    The only way Arms can compete is to have specific talents per encounter, which means you need to respec before each boss.

    I'd like to ask a question for other Warriors in here: for single target DPS, which spec is the best? Fury or Arms? I used to be Fury, then I switched to Arms, but now I'm reading that Fury is more powerful than Arms in raids?

    So basically, Fury is viable too for raiding?
    Problem is... I've been gathering gear for Arms now these past months. I did the campaign quest line for Fury too, but all gear I got from dungeons, raids and WQ's is all for Arms and I guess this is useless for Fury?

    Fortunately Warrior specs have similar stats, so your gear should still work regardless of spec but the play style is significantly different,

    Arms stats are Mastery > Haste (25%~) > Strength > anything else
    Fury is Haste > Mastery > Strength > anything else
    Protection Strength > Haste (30%~) > Mastery > anything else
