The new expansion pack, Wrath of the Lich King, has World of Warcraft players drooling with excitement. Blizzard Entertainment has given players a taste of what is to come by giving new player Talents. Below is a review of the highest level Talents for the Arms and Fury Trees, Bladestorm and Titan¡¯s Grip.
Bladestorm: A PvP Warrior's Newest Weapon
Besides being one of the most impressive visuals in the game, Bladestorm is a very powerful and Rage-Efficient attack. For 25 Rage--less than the cost of one Whirlwind--the Warrior delivers seven Whirlwinds.
Bladestorm also eliminates and renders immunity to all effects that would impede movement, effectively a PvP Trinket of the Human ability Every Man for Himself.
In PvE, a Warrior with Bladestorm should make it a central part of their Slam Rotation. Although it can only be used every minute and a half, it is almost a guaranteed victory for that encounter. The new Slam Rotation should look something like this:
- Auto-Attack
- Slam
- Bladestorm
- Auto-Attack
- Slam
- Mortal Strike
While the Warrior can not use any other abilities while using Bladestorm, the Warrior will still Auto-Attack. The Warrior could conceivably end up with more Rage than he started with.
In PvP, Bladestorm shines when used properly. Bladestorm is a Rogue¡¯s worst nightmare. A rogue is reliant on Stun abilities and Crippling Poison. Using Bladestorm removes Stuns and movement impeders, so that the Rogue is left standing in melee range about to take seven Whirlwinds.
Bladestorm is much less effective, even a hindrance, when used against ranged attackers. Bladestorm prevents the use of other abilities and cannot be ended early. This means that the Warrior can not use Hamstring, Piercing Howl, or Intercept. A Bladestorming Warrior is a sitting duck to ranged attackers.
Titan¡¯s Grip for PvE and PvP
There are few things more impressive than a Warrior running around with two gigantic weapons in his hands. Titan¡¯s Grip allows a Warrior to wield a two-handed weapon in each hand.
The damage output from Titan¡¯s Grip is extraordinary. Combined with other Fury Talents such as Death Wish and Flurry, the Warrior becomes a killing machine. With this kind of damage output, Rage maintenance will never be an issue again.
The damage from a two-handed weapon also makes using the Slam Rotation again viable for the Fury Tree. The removal of Improved Slam almost sank this for Fury Warriors, but it is hard to resist this damage even at 1.5 casting time (which is still much slower than a two-handed weapon).
In PvP, The Fury Warrior is now comparable to the Arms Warrior. The burst Damage from Whirlwind--striking with two giant weapons-- regularly hits for over 1000 pts of Damage, even without a critical strike, compared to maybe half of that for an Arms Warrior¡®s Mortal Strike. It is the Auto-Attack damage, however, that makes Titan¡¯s Grip a winner.
Which is Better, Titan¡¯s Grip or Bladestorm
There really is no comparison since the two fill different roles for different players. Except for the issues with ranged attackers, Bladestorm is the superior ability in PvP. The long cool down of 1.5 minutes makes it less effective for leveling, but it should still be part of the Warrior¡¯s arsenal.
The sustained Auto-Attack damage makes Titan¡¯s Grip the best ability for leveling. Titan¡¯s Grip is not as effective for PvP, but the other Talents for the Fury Tree supplement Titan¡¯s Grip enough to make the Fury Warrior a menace in the Battlegrounds.
In summation, the dedicated PvP Warrior should take Bladestorm. For the Warrior interested in leveling with some PvP on the side, Titan¡¯s Grip is the right choice. Since most players are getting ready to start questing to level 80 (with the expansion pack Wrath of the Lich King), expect to see many Warriors running around, gigantic weapons in each hand.
