Dual wield - Slow weaps?Follow

Sorry if this question has already been posted, but for a fury dual wield build; is it better to have 2 slow weapons due to the damage from WW?
If you do this, will you not find yourself being rage starved a little?
Is the 2 slow weapon tactic purely for end game raiding?
I'm only level 50 at the moment, so I'm just experimenting with different weapon types.

Cheers

it shouldn't make a huge impact on incoming rage, fast vrs slow OH.

But tried and true, OH fast, seems to win the cake in a lot of warriors heads.

But I see a trend of competent endgame warriors using OH slow.

Once you have your hit rating at a comfortable level, and you build enough AP up, you'll get plenty of rage, fast slow, fast fast, slow fast, slow slow.

If your routine is (at 70)

BT 6 seconds
WW 9 Seconds2
BS every 120 seconds
Rampage every 25 seconds (or w/e)

You need to make ~8.657777 rage per second. Extra fuels HS or Cleave. Which both generate more threat. Which isn't a huge problem, but it is the highest TPS increase in the fury warriors skill set.

If you want more rage, stack crit/hit/ap for the most effect.

Two slow weapons - Less rage generation, bigger hits on WW, Flurry proves more usefull

Two fast weapons - More rage generation, more yellow damage thanks to Heroic Strike hitting on the "next melee attack"; faster weapons = more heroic strikes

Fast MH, Slow OF - Decent rage generation, More use from flurry due to the slow MH. PRetty much the "standard" set up for fury wartards.

All in, they're all pretty decent, altho I really wouldn't suggest DW two slow weapons; rage starvation is a big factor there. Not to mention the fact that WW is rather weak compared to Heroic Strike in PvE (For PvP WW is more viable, but then again, go fetch a nice two-Hander for that).

Its your choice really. Same with the endless discussion on Shaman-weapons; slow/slow for damage, slow/fast to keep Unleashed Rage up, or even fast/fast for infinite Unleashed Rage procs? Just choose, switch now and then, and see what you like most.

For execute spams (since it's not about wpn dmg or speed) you can try a fast MH with a slow OH. Reason for that is, you want to be able to Execute every GCD. With the slow OH you will be able to generate enough rage for the execute come next GCD. If that doesn't work out, you can go either fast/fast or slow/slow. I just thought I'd throw out another option that I've seen being talked about. I've experimented a little bit with it, but not much. 5k excutes with a 1h are pure sex though!!

Please note: If you have a full rage bar use BT first, then execute. I noticed that depending on your AP a 30 rage BT can sometimes be more efficient than a 100 rage execute. Just something I've noticed. This will be different for everyone I'm sure.

If this doesnt make sense, its because I'm at work and got interrupted quite a few times while in mid thought.

Are you serious? Were you sleeping when the patch came out and buffed WW? Both HS & WW are quite viable in pve bucko. What's wrong with slow/slow? Haven't noticed that they both take 1 charge out of flurry, therefore you get more hits while flurry is up? Do you even play this game? Really..do you?

Slow/slow for normal damage, fast/fast or slow/fast on execute range if you can get equal-damage weapons no one else wants, for more steady rage generation and therefore more guaranteed executes every GCD.


Only shammies who have no idea what the **** they're doing even contemplate using a weapon slower than 2.6.

This is why listening to advice on how to play a Warrior from a Rogue is a really bad idea.

Slow MH, and the OH doesn't much matter. Faster gives you more consistent Rage generation and a larger effect from Sharpening Stones in raids, slower gives you spikier Rage generation and more Whirlwind damage.
