arms warriors shouldn't be doing more dps than fury warriors (not even close really), given similar levels of gear.

Source?

The source is hundreds of thousands of hours of gameplay by thousands of players. It's just how the trees are designed.

All else being equal, a 17/44 warrior will ALWAYS top a 33/38 or 31/30 warrior in personal DPS.

That's not to say fury will put out "tons" more damage; it's usually around 10%ish more.

Our arms warrior gets first dibs on the shammy, so the fury warriors sometimes lose out, so not "all else being equal".

Maybe I'm off topic, but I was responding to a previous post.

Anway, move a rogue out of the WF group, warriors benefit more from it anyway.

you should get more shammies then.

That's must be the least helpful advice I think I've ever seen. We got our first (and not due to lack of trying) shammy when we were killing hydross, and even now we usually raid with one, maybe up to 2 or very very occasionally three.

My point was that it's very hard to compare across specs in practice as things are not "all else being equal" due to raid make-up, gear, trying to balance parties etc.

To get back on topic, I'd stick to working on your guild to convince them to let you go arms, it's worth it (if you enjoy the play style).

Honestly I'm really glad to see this post, I'm currently whittling away at our GL to let me go DPS spec. Up until recently I've been full prot, 1/5 consistant warrior in the guild, and we have no dps warriors. Hell, our melee dps consists of 1 ret pally, a handful of rogues, and an enhance sham that is relitively un-reliable sometimes. I specd my warrior fury for shits while I geared out my prot pally (another class we didnt have until recently) for MH trash with the intention of going back to my warrior once we find somebody that is more committed to prot pally. But going back to ssc to pick up a few upgrades for others, I brought my warrior in as dps, in all of my t4 glory, and managed to stay about 3rd in dps (roughly 890 dps) I'd deff have some work to do in the gear dept, might actually finish making my BS 2h Sword, as i'd like to try the pve ms build. Thanks for all the previous posts.
