The Season of Discovery has seen a surprising rise to power for the Dual Wield Warrior build on the DPS charts in WoW Classic. Let's break down what makes this strategy so groundbreaking and how it is transforming warrior gameplay.
VFD Rankings: A New Contender Emerges
While looking through VFD's DPS rankings, I noticed something remarkable – there was a warrior averaging 247 DPS! This got me curious and I went deeper only to find out that he is a speedrunner and Twitch streamer. Though I won't use his footage for propriety's sake, I'll give a comprehensive analysis of his style.
Dual Wielding: Not Just Another DPS Build
This warrior's method is highly successful but unorthodox. He changes from two-handed to dual-wielding weapons based on the fight, often doubling his nearest competitor's dps. His build is all about meter-chasing to exploit particular strategies for maximizing dps.
Abusing Strategies for Maximum Output
For example, in Lady Cabz encounter, he combines add-killing with boss damage thus inflating his DPS. It might not be typical raid behavior but it does show some of the potential behind this class when pushed to its limits.
Talent Choices and Speculation
On account of his bleed procs, deep wounds can be seen in the warrior's talent build, while high critical strike chance shows points invested in cruelty. Moreover, I speculate that he also took parry as he often pulls threat so as to have an extra rage towards doing more damage.
Consume by Rage and Raging Blow: Key Runes
The rune ‘Consume by Rage' is crucial here because it increases damage considerably once 80 rage is reached making Raging Blow usable as well. This rune works together with his playstyle to form the basis of his success.
Dual Wield vs. Two-Handed: Strategic Swapping
The decision to dual wield or use two-handed weapons depends on whether the boss can bleed. For bosses that are immune to bleeding, dual wielding works best. This case emphasizes proc-based weapons, using Shadow damage procs and Single-Minded Fury for additional damage output.
Optimizing Rotation and Procs
His rotation is based on reaching 80 rage as fast as possible, using Raging Blow whenever it is ready and spamming Hamstring for Wind Fury and Weapon Procs. As a rage dump in two-handed mode he has replaced Hamstring with Quick Strike.
Guild Dynamics and Speedrunning Advantage
Speedrunning guilds provide the most optimized setting for this kind of build. Constant action, quick pulls, along with supportive guild tactics ensure that he stays at peak rage all the time which maximizes the build's potential.
Final Thoughts: Not Just for Everyone
This build heavily relies on exceptional DPS but it may not be ideal for all players due to its specificity towards certain raiding environments. However, it demonstrates what innovative strategies can arise in WoW Classic.
