“The PvP spec.” Mace has been the only spec. that I’ve never tried in my WoW Warrior career. What better time to try it out then at the turn of a season when we’re trying to get our bearings and try new strategies. Warriors around (somewhat) agree that Mace shines the most in 2v2 and 3v3. The question is: Does it shine in 5s? Well, we’re going to find out this season.

I’m taking my Deep Thunder and doing a preliminary run in BGs and some arenas this week to see if purchasing the S3 Mace would even be worth it or if going back to Swords this season will be a better option (Hello, Jin’Rokh 2.0). My focus is going to be mostly on 3v3, but I do plan on running 5s with Mace also. As far as I’m concerned, the gain of an almost on-demand stun is incredible.

In case you’re wondering what spec. I’ll be rocking with my mace, I’ve provided that down below also.

36/23/2:  It’s an interesting blend of CC and DPS, but it ends up being very close to alot of other Mace Spec’d Warriors.  Where I go different is that I go for two in Blood Frenzy, two in Tactical Mastery, and all three into Improved Hamstring.  I went for five in Unbridled Wrath to aid my slower rage-generation (It procs quite often, and when it procs on a hamstring, it’s like having a buy six, get one free discount).

I could go on and on about the benefits and disadvantages of this spec., but this is a test spec. for that very reason.  I’m testing its viability in our 3v3 slots.  I always felt that the one thing my 3v3 needed was a CC factor.  Running double healer makes it difficult to actually control the flow of the fight.  I’m hoping that the combination of Hamstrings and stuns will aid in some tighter matches.

Look out Vindication, I’m just another Bad Orc with another Bad Weapon!  1700, here I come!
