    Warrior in DPS mode

    So what is the best setup for a Warrior, mostly for skills and crossclass (no marauder) for doing dps?

    I will be doing Offtank on Odin and I need to be able to bust out as much damage as possible with keeping stun up for Hall of stones

    Hope you can help me

    30 STR, i110 DPS accessories (Striking) then DPS as you normally would.

    Some like Fracture, some find it too annoying to squeeze in.

    I will be doing odin. Complete ilvl 100 weathered gear. Probably be a fixed Stats Warri with 30 Vit.

    What IS the ideal Warri dps rota? Probably not Butchers block

    Short version: SE>BB>repeat

    Long version: SE>Frac>SE>BB>SE>repeat

    I hope I don't have to say it but, keep Defiance off.

    If you don't care about the damage the tank takes, Storm's Eye => Butcher's

    So if I understood this correctly: Heavy Swing> Main> Storm's Eye than the Heavy Swing>Skull Sunder> Butchers block combo?

    And what do you mean by "how much damage the tank takes"

    I usualy just straight face tank and use Storm's path and Storms Eye only in between

    100% Storm's Path uptime is not important. When you deviate from SE>BB, SE debuff will not be on for the actual next SE for however many GCDs you delayed it by, which is why you repeat it if you incorporate Fracture. So you have to decide if that's worth it. You don't need SP's 10% damage reduction 100% of the time because 90% of damage taken doesn't matter.

    You can do SE>SP instead of SE>BB but it's obviously worse DPS-wise.
