Can Fury Warriors Dual-wield Polearms?
In War of the Ancients, polearm-wielding warriors are a favorite among many players. But not all warriors can wield polearms with the same ease. In our latest update, we’ve received user questions asking whether Fury Warriors can dual wield polearms. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of pole arm combat and answer this question once and for all.
Direct Answer: No, Fury warriors cannot dual-wield polearms. This is due to two reasons:
- Technique: Fury warriors specialize in melee combat, using their speed, agility, and ferocity to engage and defeat enemies. Dual wield polearms would require a massive amount of strength, coordination, and stability, which would contradict the warrior role.
- Game Mechanics: Both World of Warcraft and other similar genres of games, polearms follow a set of rules and mechanics tied to specific classes and specialisations. Polearms are designed for certain playing styles and require specific abilities set for those classes. Fury specialization, for example, is geared against larger foes, and polewielding warriors would need a completely customized build, which is contradictory to the design of the game.
| Warrior Role Focus | Dual Wielding Pole-arms |
|---|---|
| Fury | Pole-arms |
| Armed with strength and agility | Unrealistic |
Titan’s grip: As we mentioned earlier, Titan’s Grip is a passive warrior ability learned by taking the Fury specialty at level 10. This feat allows warriors to dual-wield two- handed weapons. However, it highlights the problem with dual-handed pole-arms: both are not suitable for Fury- focused builds.
| Titan Grip | Fury Specification |
|---|---|
| Dual-well two-handed weapons | |
| * Fury specialization at LV 10 | Not applicable: polearms are not suitable** |
Conclusion: As we’ve shown, two reasons contradict the idea of Fury duel-wielding polearms: they go against the warrior role archetype and game mechanics. While Titan ‘s Grip allows for dual well two-handed weapons, it is for specific roles and not forpolearms.
