Illusion of choices and Fury Warrior Test
so it's been some weeks into our SS2 of TWW, and my frustration grows with each passing week from one reason : the illusion from the fury talent tree choices.
let me break it down a little, for context, Im a long time SMF fury and I know the damage gap between the 2 infamous major choices of TG and SMF, but this time it has other thing added up from that which already bad enough : the others talent, as my frustration grows I finally snapped and creating this post to rant(sorry for your reading quotas).
to give some sim-test result from my frustration with `662` gear :
with the usual "Meta" Titan Grip build [report](https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/oTYJoCRiHaLz7PPAeRP7wN) : `2.0x million DPS`, reasonably normal while 665+ people might hit `2.2+ m` with it. reference sim from a top guy I randomly picked from murlok io : [667 Meta](https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iBh2hZjMPvKnwG7Rgi3JcD)
now with the same Meta build but adjusted for Single Minded Fury: [report](https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hPbRX2w5XU6gj9o5JS8b2T) `1.9x million DPS` just 100k lower, still reasonable right? so what's my problem?
in other scenario, let's say I don't want to spam Raging Blow to the end of the earth so I removed "Hack and Slash" talent(the one refund a charge when using Rampage) and I hate Ravager/Bladestorm since I feels like those are for Arms and I like to use Slam/Onslaught as a filler since im happy to aoe with Thunderclap/Thunderblast + Odyn's Fury.
the report : [report](https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ctVhuudwDwwgR61QbF2g8z) `1.734M DPS` what?! that's the DPS of a 650 people(ahem, or even lower)!
or worst with Onslaught added : [report](https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2x3c4UzLwHpnCujtfsYsqC) 1.6m DPS ....
it can't be that bad right? why not try the Titan Grip counterpart : [report](https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jncTd7PT5MbmP4XoHeUVk2) just `1.8m DPS`
now some of you might starting to see the problem : from removing ravager/bladestorm + hack and slash alone already hit the dps very hard just because I wanna use odyn fury instead.
so to sum it all up, while we have a tree to choose from and diverse in choices, its pretty much an illusion, it might not be a life-dead situation normally but people including me that playing with both casual and higher challenges will runs into this kind of issues real quick and will have no choice but to "swap to Meta or get out."
As a result,
the best I could came up with to use on my day-to-day basis without impacting my own satisfaction much(but still bugging from that useless Slam spell on my action bar + questioning my life choice of why the hell Onslaught DOES NOT benefit from Slam talent) is this one : [report](https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/rWH2hEaYyX4UPRbRGBi3eH) `1.787m DPS` which almost great, but could be better.
Lastly, dear blizzard as a 0.000000001% of people playing SMF, I always view SMF as lightning fast hitting auto-attack type to generate fury fast compared to the clunky 2h counterpart(now you know why I like Odyn Fury if you managed to read to this part), every time I see I beats auto-attack of a combat rogue I giggle a little(no regrets lol) I was so happy with the annihilator + the storm of sword talent back in DF - thanks for taking my fun away with TWW release, auto-attack is now nonsense, no diff between the 2 build, we SMF dont even have characteristic or reason to play or any meaningful info like "damn I wanna hit faster/more agile with SMF" nothing, this is not just fury spec but also other spec with multiple builds, please do something about it, thanks for your time.
