Burning Crusade MS Warrior Build

Ok so I decided to take the basic MS build and adapt it to the new talents and such that will become available in the Burning Crusade Expansion...and let me tell you there is one in particular at the end of the Arms Tree that has me feeling all giddy. Also you will want to focus on gear with strength/attack power, critical, and stamina bonuses to maximize damage output with this build.

Anyway, here are my talent choices and why:

Warrior Talents
Minimum Required Level: 70
Required Talent Points: 61

Talent Build Quick View

Arms Talents - 41 point(s)


Improved Heroic Strike - rank 3/3
- Always a nice talent to have when working in the arms tree, using less rage on a talent you will use often is never a bad idea.

Deflection - rank 5/5
- Improved parry, you get hit less do I really need to say more.

Improved Rend - rank 3/3
- There is a new relationship between this ability and a new one, blood frenzy, wich makes this a good choice plus added dmg never hurt.

Improved Overpower - rank 2/2
- The improved overpower is a talent you never want to be without, you will find this ability in all the talent builds.

Anger Management - rank 1/1
- 1 Rage every 3 seconds doesn't sound like a bad idea to me.

Deep Wounds - rank 3/3
- This talent is also working in conjunction to the blood frenzy talent. And having your opponent bleed twice just helps to suck away the health faster.

Two-Handed Weapon Specialization - rank 5/5
- Increases dmg with 2 handers and thats primarily what you'll be using with this build.

Impale - rank 2/2
- More Crit Dmg always seems to appeal to me.

PoleAxe Specialization - rank 5/5
- This is strictly based on what weapon type you plan to use...I simply put axe spec because it has one of the best talents.

Sweeping Strikes - rank 1/1
- Precurser to Mortal Strike

Weapon Mastery - rank 2/2
- New option as of the update increases skill with weapons by 4 and increases chance to resist disarm effects by 50%

Mortal Strike - rank 1/1
- The bread and butter of this build...helps to deal massive amounts of dmg.

Second Wind - rank 2/3
- 20 rage over 10 sec would be a wonderful reason not to mind being stunned. (had to take out a point due to the update)

Blood Frenzy - rank 5/5
- Makes the Rend and Deep Wound abilities increase all melee dmg taken by the target by 5% A new lil partnership talent and I must say I like it.

Endless Rage - rank 1/1
- Possibly the greatest talent ever to be added to the arms tree. This lil beauty reduces the cost of all abilities by 100% for 10 sec. That's 10 seconds of free attacks. 10 Seconds of free Heroic and Mortal strikes...you do the math.


Fury Talents - 20 point(s)


Cruelty - rank 5/5
- Increases crit chance by 5%

Unbridled Wrath - rank 5/5
- 40% chance to get an additional rage point when you do damage with a melee weapon. Some people would choose Booming Voice instead but I like Unbridled Wrath better.

Improved Battle Shout - rank 5/5
- Helps you to dish out even more damage, gotta love that.

Enrage - rank 5/5
- More damage after being crit'd not a bad option and could help make the difference between who goes down first.
