guys im gona hit 70 soon so i wana be MS.. what spec do u think i should be to beat all other warriors from all specs? i find mace stun useless coz in the 3 sec stun i wont hit him once due to my 3.6 mace swing spd.

and i feel sword is better coz for a slow weapon i need another fast instant attack

but please tell me if im wrong thx =)

Well the idea that a mace grants you a 3sec stun which can make a difference because you have MS which is instant attack or slam so you can get an attack off in 3sec but id say the sword spec is best do to the extra attack but it really depends on the person...........

P.S. im a fury warrior and you will never defeat me lol J/K you might be able to!!!!

But yes it depends on you like if you use deep thunder and or stormherald then id say mace stun then you have a chance to stun the target more often.
hope this hlps a little im just not an expert in arms so this is the best i can do =) have a good one

sword i think its useless its only 5% chance to hit them. Thus, i woudl rather go axe with 5+ crit chance and mace is nice too so you get rage and stun =D

You realize axe is only 5% too? And a 2cd hit is about the same damage as a crit.  On top of that the sword gives you the ability to get 2 crits in a row which means twice as much damage as the axe spec.

as your crit increaces, sword spec becomes better and better than axe spec as you get more crit-hit,  or crit-crit combos.

Also.... the sword spec proc is on a seperate dice roll. Axe spec gets put on the same dice roll as your crit. What does that mean??? In axe spec if you get a  crit (a crit that would happen even if you didn't have axe spec), then your done for that round. With sword spec, if you get a crit, you still get the dice roll for your 2cd hit. That dice roll occurs every swing. This means that the sword proc actually occurs more often than the axe spec crit. 5% doesn't equal 5% if you can swallow that math.

You do realize that the crit bonus is reduced in pvp due to resilience.  I prefer sword cause although its 5%, i also have a crit % already at 30%.  That means there is the chance of getting the double hit to also crit.  And my crit chance will only improve as i get better gear. 

Like stated above, mace is best for 2v2 teams, but higher lvl or larger teams you want to have the extra burst damage.  Especially against teams with healers.
