Applejax 2 Report post Posted January 4, 2017 ...and I have a couple questions. I plan on running an Orc and was looking to maximize on the axe by hitting the axe specialization and getting 5 points in cruelty. That way I could keep up deep wounds more. Does Deep Wounds make a significant amount of your damage output? Next, towards the end of leveling, I am getting 5 points in Iron Will to make my stun resistance even better. But on the first ranks in the Prot tree, would the 10 points in Def from Anticipation be of any use in PvP? (Disclaimer: I plan to mostly PvP at 60 and not too much worried about much on raiding atm) Thx for the input! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotmilk0112 10 Report post Posted January 4, 2017 Deep Wounds is okay, but the majority of your damage will come from MS and autoattacks, IIRC. Deep Wounds is just extra bonus damage for getting a crit. No, 5 points in Anticipation, you really won't notice that in PvP. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Applejax 2 Report post Posted January 4, 2017 I was thinking of the Rend and Deep Wounds as a constant DoT in case of kiting, too. At least have something ticking while I am chasing some mage around. And I might try the 5 in shield then just to have an extra option. Those points won't be til I am in my 50's when I am working out my final points to get to the inp stun resist. Thx for your input. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoga 3 Report post Posted January 5, 2017 Rend doesn't scale with gear so dont ever waste rage on that unless u use it to put DoT on rogue so he can't restealth. Agains't mages u are anyways ragestarving because their shield's abrsorbs dmg so no rage for you. Axe spec is nice it put's you on really high crit and that's good before you get pvp BiS gear when you want sword spec for extra burst. Don't take Stun Resist unless you are mostly pvp in open world where there are shit loads of rogues. Not many classes will stun you except those rogue's and other warriors and you allready have pvp trincket to break 1 Stun. You biggest enemy without dispels are kiting not rogue stuns. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Applejax 2 Report post Posted January 5, 2017 Yeah, I have sadly noticed that Rend does not scale for anything. The Deep Wounds that proc off crits are the ones I am more interested in. The Rend would just be a filler to do something better than lose rage in a kiting situation. Wouldn't the stun resist also help vs BM hunters with Intimidate and from Pally stuns, too? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You dont lose rage in combat, also you should spend all your rage on damage during these times where you can attack, since rend does bad damage AND you have limited amount of time where you connect, rend is a really really bad button to press. Iron will would help, its just that other options would help you MORE. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
