A solid Arms & Fury build for leveling and dungeons. Change the level above to see where the points go at 15, 20, 25.

Weapons: a two-hand weapon came out ahead of two one-hand weapons for this spec.

How this works: ONN ranks every item a Warrior can use up to level 30, using stat weights for the spec. Where the WoW: Forever client shows different stats (seen by ONN Reporter players), those are used and marked "Forever stats". Sources come from the open CMaNGOS classic database and ONN Reporter. Random-bonus items ("of the Bear") and set bonuses aren't counted. Forever may still change drops, so check the item page.
