Windfury at lower levelsFollow

Hello,
My main is a 70 feral druid... fyi

Now, I am currently stopping my 49 enh shammy at that level to score some honor and wait for a friend's pally to level. What I have noticed using damage calculators that until about 1k AP rock biter owns WF hands down. I would not have believed it. except I went from 40-49 using RockBiter MH and FlameTongue OH, I seem to always be top dps, even with other enh shaman. I also seem to be the only one not using WF. What I would like to know is if the 1k mark is truly the line? If so, when I switch to WF will I use a different OH chant like flametongue?

49 orc shaman on Kilrogg Osgrom(for some reason armory won't update him)

I'm sure this is beat to death, but I see so many people using WFx2, so I thought maybe I was looking at out of date data

I don't think I can really answer your question, but I can give the experience of my lvl 66 enhancment shammy.

I DW with Windfury on both weapons and its Kick *****

My AP 846.

I guess WF is a gamble in your hoping for it to proc,it has a 20% chance, so 1 in 5 hits will give you a WF proc (all things being =), which is = to 2 extra attack + an AP boost (both of which can crit and proc weapon enchants + Trinkets).

So I guess the question is does Rockbitter give more damage in 5 hits than 5 normal hits + 2 extra WF hits at + AP

My experience is that most of the time it does, also the feeling of a triple crit from WF + Weapon enchant + trinket proc is Amazing!

Also if your crit chance is high and you have Shamanistic focus + Flurry (And lets face it if your enhancment you should have!) each crit gives you a speed bonus and a shock mana reduction. An extra 2 attacks every 5 (on average) gives you more chance to crit.

Most of my fights start with Stormstrike and I normally (9/10) get a crit and/or a WF in the first couple of hits. From then on its downhill for the poor bugger I'm wailing on :P.

In fact most mobs start at 1/2 health when I fight em :P
