If warriors don't need agility then why....

........ is there 36 agility on deep thunder?

Please, entertain us.

Let's have some "wow math".

... oh.

Please quote Wow wiki too. We all know that is the "definitive source".

... of course, if you ever quoted wiki in a university level paper you would probably fail the course.... but let's hear it.

Eh, who said that warrior doesnt need agi?
They might have said warrior prefers something that costs less such as crit rating to replace agi stats.

Like it or not, Blizzard wants your toon to have some diversity and is actually constantly cockblocking you from min/max'ing.

Bumdirt of Ysera
Oh, ask ten different people.


Do you know what?

I have never actually gotten an answer to my question?

I will ask the question again:

Because you need 33 agility for 1% Crit.

Its wasted item points, if they put crit rating it would be better.

Happy?

Wow....your'e specced 41/20. No wonder you're so dumb.......

Oh wells.

agi=crit, dodge, and armor for warriors
and we don't need it why?

because R&D used that word over 9000 times per week.
ie: kael is the biggest cockblocker

I'm just going to hazzard a guess, but here's what I think:

First let's see what agility does. It gives raises range AP, gives a bit of armor, and gives us crit %.
Of course we don't care about range AP. It's junk. The armor we get from agility is more or less insignificant. Of course everyone loves crit %, from the slowest MS warrior to the fast-twich fury warrior and even the stolid proct warrior loves it. Of course at what expense?

Now after my ramblings here it is: It's too spendy on item bonuses. We've already melted down agility=crit, but for cheaper costs I *think* you're better off with +crit straight from items. Agility is nice, but + crit is better.

And of course the in-fighting, cooperation, and eventual downfall of the Greek city-states is comparable to a video game, right? Or perhaps one is a bit deeper and requires incredible amounts of research, cross-references, and millions of dollars while the other is a... video game? Apples and oranges, apples and oranges :p.

Of course they are.

That's why "wow math" is.... "cock-eyed"

A lot of people have answered your question.
It is just that you dont understand the context of their answer.

They want crit rating because it costs less.

If you can pick between agi and crit rating.
You would said: Well between the two, I dont want agi and prefer crit rating instead.

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it now?

Well, at least you tried. But what of all the "superiors" that know everything ( that shun you) when you say that warriors need SOME agility?

... they know everything, they also know that DT has agi... and never actually answer the question.

If warriors don't need agility then why... does DT have 36 agi on it?
Unmaimed of Dath'Remar
My guess goes along this line....

Agi gives crit, dodge, armour.

In PvP Crit = good, Dodging = good, armour = meh

SO... AGI is on that weapon because its *not* useless,
HOWEVER -
As someone has already pointed out generally warriors want AP + Crit. So when focusing on the crit part, agi is the more *expensive* (in item point terms) way of obtaining said crit.

In summary, Warriors tend to ignore the dodge given by agi, hence - due to forum exagerations: "OMG Agility if for Noobs...!!" When in reality it just doesnt obtian crit at the cheapest item point rate.

HE PUT 20 POINTS INTO FURY AND MANAGED NOT TO GET ENRAGE OR PIERCING HOWL.

Why are you trying to explain it to him?

Also 41 points in arms...wow...

No. :)

No, I don't. Wanna know why? Because your explanation doesn't_actually_work.

:)

I have had 40% crit. I have had over 100% hit (BTW... how does one hit something OVER 100% of the time?) I have had 560 strength.... I've had it all.

... and please spare me the "wow math".

It's either 100%... or it's NOT... 100%.

Since when did DT say class: warrior on it?

I see shamans and paladins with it all the time... jeez

YOU HAVE 20 POINTS IN FURY AND MANAGED NOT GO GET PIERCING HOWL AND ENRAGE.

YOU ARE BEYOND STUPID.

YOU HAVE 41 POINTS IN ARMS.

I think trying to explain the mathematics behind this issue would take too long.
Skullbeard of Perenolde
just incase there is a feral druid macesmith?
Traurgar of Lightbringer
I don't really understand the question any more. Are you asking why is agi better than crit rating, so that they put it on Deep Thunder, or are you asking, why is agi on Deep Thunder when crit rating is clearly superior?

The former is unanswerable, as the question is already faulty since agi isn't better than crit. The latter has been asnwered already.
