The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Weapons from Ulduar

Ulduar has brought over 800 items within our grasp. While toying with specs (I’m actually raiding switching between arms and fury depending on the fight, although last night I actually tanked clearing up to Vezax) to try and squeeze the most DPS out I find myself wearing the half-and-hald set you always get when content is progressing. Naxxramas gear tends towards a screaming skulls motif while Ulduar gear has a more construct simulating appearance. As you can see in the screen shot, I’ve ended up looking somewhat like the gothiest Power Ranger ever. I don’t mind the look myself, although I know some people really do. Then again, as I’ve said many, many times, I’d wear the Conqueror’s Clownshoe Raiment if the stats were right.

This week we’re going to discuss the weapon drops for warriors in Ulduar – 10 and 25. This basically means tanking 1handers and 2 hand weapons. While I personally love fist weapons myself, The Masticator is not a tanking weapon, although it’s certainly true that you could tank with a 2.7 speed weapon with no defensive stats. Heck, I tanked with a 3.4 speed weapon last night. I’m going to try and keep focused on the drops with the most utility first.

Of course, more loot is being discovered even as I write this. So please keep that in mind.
