Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hi.. My current rotation for fighting would go – charge > HS > HS > HS if I can .. I don’t use rend as it does about 50 damage total on at my lvl (37) OP very rarely occurs so I’m very dependent on the wep speed of the WW axe 3.8.

I don’t suffer too badly against mobs my level sometimes dropping only 200 -500 max hp of a 1750hp pool..

But I am wondering, am I missing a trick, can I adding Slam in between this .. can enough rage be generated my current build is a rough piece of work so I’m looking to change but was hoping there’s decent approach to follow (is there a cookie cutter levelling build for 2h) Is there abilities I should be looking at or considering.

I used slam 30-39 while leveling. It's basically a heroic strike that speeds up your swing timer if you time it right and use a slow weapon. Say you're using the ww axe that's 3.6 speed; slam will make your next swing do auto damage + a little extra as if it's a 1.5 - 3.0 speed weapon, depending on cast time interuption. So you can do this: charge, auto, slam, auto, slam, etc. You can fit rend in there whenever you got the rage and if the mob will last long enough to make the damage worth while. Just make sure to slam as soon as you autoattack swing. Don't try this if there's 2 or more enemies attacking you. You'll never get the cast off to make it worth it.

Rend is still worth using until 40 imho. It's decent damage for the amount of rage you spend. Bleeds ignore armour. Remember that heroic strike and slam pretty much negate any rage regen from your next auto so they cost you more than 15 rage and it's all to do that extra damage the tooltip shows (but slam gives you that added dps increase because of the quicker swing timer).

edit:

As for leveling builds using 2hand, here's what I recommend:

http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#LMhxbNboxuEzzh0x Arms PvP Server
http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#LMGxbAboxzVVzu0x Arms PvE Server
(you can change to axe spec. Don't feel limited to using just axes or swords. Big damage slow weapons should be the priority.)

http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#LMhxbIbZEzzhMxRVo Fury PvP Server
http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#LMhxbIbZVVzIMxoVo Fury PvE Server

Benefits leveling 2hand arms:
+ early tactical mastery
+ early imp. overpower, deep wounds, and impale
+ sweeping strikes (use with whirlwind for big aoe damage)
+ great pvp talents

Benefits of leveling 2hand fury:
+ early cruelty
+ great bonuses to crit and being crit on
+ not entirely limited to using slow weapons when using bloodthirst
+ decent pvp talents

Thanks for the response appreciated .. I'll buy the talent and practice.. may even fit that rend in..

Wow - thanks for the additional info, builds and summary .. +1

Hell I still use rend when soloing if I'm fighting turtles or earth elementals (I'm still leveling so my gear isn't that great). They have rediculous armour. I've also tried sundering them until the mob is around half health but I feel it's not really worth it for short leveling encounters.
