Weapon speed questionFollow

Both as high an average damage range as possible (the slowest weapon possible of weapons of the same DPS). Windfury can proc off of either one, since you have it on both, and so you want to maximize the damage from a proc.

Also, Stormstrike works off of both weapons, so that also benefits from the harder-hitting weapons.

To OP: EJ states "A frequently asked question is how to wield weapons with differing speeds but similar DPS values, such as using a Rising Tide and a Syphon - is it better to put one weapon in the main/off hand over the other? Simulation results indicate that it makes little difference which hand the slower weapon is wielded in."

My opinon, you would want the highest dps weapon in your MH for the larger dmg burts from wf proc, in the same token, you would want the slower weapon in you OH so your mh would have more of a chance to proc WF. But, this all ties back to there is just not one answer to fit all.

For me, My MH is 2.7 speed, my OH is 2.8. Just for kicks I just ran the sim with my stats BUT, I changed the weapon speeds to see more of an impact, my results:

2.5 MH / 2.8 OH = 1214
2.8 MH / 2.5 OH = 1219
2.7 MH / 2.8 OH = 1230

Thus 5 dps difference, with the two extreams, shows there's not much difference, but also shows that the slower, the better if you can do it.

To Causa, an acceptable OH set up is to use a faster speed weapon with flametounge on it / wf MH, if you get a really great fast weapon, this can provide more dps than a crummy slow with wf, again, gotta test it on the sim.

End result, play with the sim to figure out whats best for you and whats available to ya
