Hey guys!
Im lvling my warr again and Im choosing between 2 weapons atm.
http://www.wowhead.com/?compare=10652;9418Im thinking the sword since it has much more max dmg and im using almost only instant attacks (overpower, mortal strike, execute, slam too though its not instant).
Any suggestions?
The only other factor you need to look at is your talent spec. Axe spec is 5% more crit and 5% more crit damage. Sword spec is, at max, an extra 10 white swings per minute.
You didn't mention what level you are, and I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere in your previous posts. I would recommend (as I always recommend) that you go and do the AV quest to get
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19106 as soon as you hit level 51.
As for your question, it really isn't too much of a difference. The sword will have slightly higher Overpowers and Mortal Strikes. The Axe will have a bit more white damage, smoother rage gen from those white swings (since they come more often), and it has the superior Weapon Spec talent.
My suggestion is to use whichever of the two you are already specced for. Then at 51, pick up Icebard Spear and switch to PoleAxe spec.
