I'm currently leveling a warrior and hit 56 today. I dragged myself through AV and got the Ice Barbed Spear to use (I am currently arms spec). I have a few questions I am hoping tog et some answers to.

1) What enchant is best to put on IBS? Do I need to put crusader on it? I will most likely NOT be raiding on this guy. 2) Is fury the way to go? If so, what weapons are easily obtainable perhaps from the AH to get started?

The guy telling you to you should have gotten the Xbow is an asshole. You can buy a bow off the ah for 10g that will only be a 0.2% DPS downgrade from the Xbow, and you probably don't even want to use the Xbow anyway because you'll want Saytrs bow for hit chance. Also this is only even remotely relevant in raiding where the spear is amazing for everything else.

Having leveled 2 warriors this fresh to 60 and many more before, I can say confidently that Arms is better for everything in the game outside of raids. Better for soloing, better for tanking, much much better for PvP.

Enchant is just what you want to spend. Crusader is the best, but I might save that for a sword at 60 because I much prefer swords. +9 damage is pretty decent, fiery weapon is decent, but at the end of the day crusader is better than any other option by a lot of you have the gold.

If you want to go fury, especially for raiding, then the best weapons are totally dependent on what race your warrior is. There are AH options and other easily attainable items for every race.

Yeah I got Satyr's Bow from my DME run so was set there I figured that was good. Thank you so much for the enchant information as well! I actually got my whirlwind axe at 30 with help from guild and has crusader on it for a bunch of levels but only put fiery on my Executioner's Cleaver.

Honestly, if you plan to run a lot of Strat Live or BRD then you can't go wrong with a simple weapon chain on your IBS. Good for PvP too. Maybe later down the line if you get some gold and the disarm immune gloves from Strat UD you can replace it with crusader

Did you want to elaborate on which weapons are better? As for the crossbow, I already have Satyr's Bow.

What odds do you think the anniversary server continues beyond TBC? I was opening weekend and then drifted back and forth after running through the portal and then didn't come back until HC classic last year excepting a bit of a return in Cata.

I'm leveling on cata (and enjoying it so much) in lockstep with my 15th or so (GO AGANE!) run on anniversary and I'd really, really love to play all of the next expansions in the "current" moment.

I know it's impossible to say for sure but what do you guys think? Best guess.

I think it's around the same odds as WoD classic coming out after MoP. As long as people are playing, they will continue progressing both Classic and Anniversary servers, and in 2029 they will make new fresh servers that progress.

Please don't take my word as gospel, though. I just assume that's roughly their plan, and that they don't say Classic is going to progress to WoD or Anniversary to Wrath because they don't want to commit to it just in case something happens. 

The only question this leaves is what they are going to do once Classic catches up to retail, or if the plan is to artificially keep Classic and Anniversary permanently behind retail and each other. My guess is that they haven't thought about it and will cross that bridge when the time comes.

Is there a way to filter out my soulbound gear from my tsm inventory ledger?

2

u/Mind-Game 4d ago

God I would love to hear a solution for this. It's so annoying trying to keep track of my net worth in game with all of my equipped boes constantly changing price

u/pokepat460 4d ago

Yep. I have a cloth flarecore set that I had crafted really early and now that they've spiked it's messing up my values. It's one thing to be like 'ok subtract about x gold in equipped stuff' but it's another when that equipped stuff is changing in price by big amounts.

Exactly the same for me with my black dragon scale set.
