what to imbue on off hand?Follow

Well I'm leveling a shaman up, lvl 43 atm. I'm using a Gryphon Rider Stormhammer on my main hand and Wirt's third leg on my off hand. My inital thought was just to use windfury on both, but then I remembered hearing about windfury having an internal cd (does it?). Was simply wondering if it's still better to use windfury on both weapons as opposed to say windfury/rockbiter for my mh/oh

any help is appreciated.

edit: spelling.

WF on both unless you're seriously undergeared. If you are then use rockbitter. If not use windfury.

This.

There is indeed a shared 3-second cooldown between both weapons no matter what rank you use. However, the other imbues don't scale with gear so you're still better off with double WF.

Exceptions: if you're undergeared and/or using a fast offhand.

That seems to be the general concensus on all the hardcore math sites, but honestly, I would use WF even on a fast dagger. Even if they're weaker, more WF procs = more hits = more crits = Unleashed Rage/Flurry/Shamanistic Focus are up constantly.

Every time I go back and try WF on my main-hand and RB or FT on a fast off-hand (I've got the dagger from Prince to play around with) I notice glaring periods of time where my holy trinity of UR/F/SF aren't up. Even if my personal DPS is higher, the other melees in my group are losing out.

thanks for the answers, wasn't sure how long the cd was on windfury, I had heard 30 seconds which I thought odd, so I came to post here). I'm taking my time leveling up this toon (have two 70's already) so I'm not really under geared, just trying to have some fun on the way up :)
