Hi

Me and my mates are playing TSG this season, not aiming very high. Maybe going for t2 weps but now to my question:
Should the warrior spec slam? What are the advantages/disadvantages with such a spec or is it just up to the warriors playstyle?

We´re also struggling against mage teams, anything we could do about that besides me(pala) trying to LoS, Sac and fake as much as possible? Should we go after the mage or just leave his alone? (just in general)


Our Dk is frost btw.

Thanks

Disadvantages of Slam (over Incite):

- Requires decent latency to land Slam
- When you are snared or have moderately low uptime on a target (ie: against Mages), your Slam usage will fall quite a bit

Advantages of Slam (over Incite):
- Potential for more burst (Slam is an Arms Warrior's hardest hitting ability with 3 stacks of Lambs to the Slaughter)
- Nice to have Slam when you pop Deadly Calm/Strength trinket up - lots of additional damage

Since you are playing with a DK in which provides awesome snares (via Desecration/Chains of Ice), I'd definitely say play Slam spec.

The best burst & tip that I can give you is to use Slam during Throwdown.
That is where Slam really shows it's strength.
