How to increase DPS as a warrior?

[Stormfur]

So I'm getting more and more comfortable using Warrior in PVP and would like to know how to improve my DPS? I'm doing the double Fell Cleave whenever I can, making sure main and storm's path are up on the target and stunning them when their HP is lower to help the DPS finish them off. What else can I do?

1. dont use double fell cleave whenever its available use it always with berserk (if u can use full swing u can add it for more burst) when burst is needed and try to line it up with internal release
2. use storms path against enemy burst and storms eye for slashing debuff
3. use unbuffed fell cleaves on boxes to prevent the other team from getting it

Tbh its easy to do alot of dmg but its very situational so your burst dont go to waste. You should practice and learn with each match high dmg doesnt mean much in the end it always depends how u used it and against a sch you will also be lower on dmg than usual.

There's not much you can do to do over 150k other than to keep uptime on targets as much as possible and pick up attack boxes at start and at 4:00. This may require some risky moves like staying in the mid to break LB box when your healer is dead, many dps-greedy tanks die in these moments, especially with 2-4 stacks.
With a decent enemy healer who binds and sleeps you every minute your damage will be often less than 100k per match.
And, as mentioned, against SCH and nocturnal AST your damage is 30% less because you'll be breaking shields which nullify a lot of damage.

Yeah. My damage was like 20k one time and that's abysmal. Usually I'm in the 50-60k range, but mostly it's because I'm not quite sure how everything lines up -- and it's very situational versus other players.

If you don't already, have berserk, internal release, fullswing, and internal release on your hotbar so you can know when you can use them all for maximum damage. Also, try to go for triple fell-cleaves instead of just two. For this, you will need to add raw intuition and vengeance to your hotbar so you can monitor the cooldown.

The trick is to get 3 stacks, internal release, get 4th stack, heavy swing (this is very important), berserk, fell cleave, internal release, fell cleave, raw intuition, then continue to combo and get the 3rd fell cleave before you get pacified. If you don't hit heavy swing before you begin to fell cleave, the timing will be super-super-super tight and you will most likely not be able to get the third fell cleave off. But even with this, it is difficult to get triple fell cleave with people moving. Use vengeance to make this easier.

Kinda lazy to write out the whole combo, but there's one I use where if I time it right, I get a triple fellcleave nd berserk/fullswing/bloodbath all wearout at almost exactly the same time. It works out realy nice.

Please don't use Raw Intuition in Feast unless you're using it to gain stacks and turning it off. Even if used with Awareness, you'll have 5s where you'll be vulnerable to critical hits ...and 5s of critical hits is not worth one stack of wrath.

Also FC serves as a nice interrupt if it hits for enough damage.

Triple fell cleave is pretty much useless in pvp lol.

As a tank you are ignored almost the whole match even if you have 4 stacks. You don't use it only if you are focused, and even then quickly pressing this macro twice works well.

/micon "Raw Intuition"
/ac "Raw Intuition"
/statusoff "Raw Intuition"

[Stormfur]

So you turn on that macro and it uses the skill and also turns it off again? I ask because I'm on ps4 and it's a pain to toggle off effects.

If you are at only 50-60K it is not really how you are lining up, it is your up-time on targets in feast. At that out put over a full fight it means you are leaving a ton of gcd's on the floor and auto's. Work on staying close to targets, and making sure you are not missing gcd's while moving.

Lining up is pretty basic in pvp for WAR, save double fell for when you have zerk. Basically just watch your zerk cooldown, if you know it is coming up, make sure to save your stun, line up your dot and storm de-buff, have stacks built (before you zerk). Using full swing, if not on cooldown, before you double fell (you should be able to full swing every other double).
