Weapon speed question....Follow

#1 Oct 09 2008 at 11:05 AM Rating: Decent
For my fury warrior... is it better to have a 2.5ish or 2.7ish main, and a 2.0 offhand, or should I go faster with the offhand? say 1.5ish. I`m starting to think a faster offhand wouyld be better, just wanted an opinion or 2.

Slower offhands have higher end-damage, so more damage on your whirlwinds.

Offhand speed has no impact on total rage generation, it just makes it more consistent with a slightly faster OH. On the other hand, you do get more Whirlwind damage out of a slower one.

In my rather extensive experience, it doesn't matter much in terms of single-target damage, although obviously it's a bigger difference when AEing; but the difference between a 100 DPS 1.5 speed OH and a 2.6 speed OH is ~12 DPS after factoring in DW spec simply because you don't Whirlwind that often. Look at the OH's stats and DPS first, and look at the speed last.

thank you guys/gals I was rackin ma brain all over this... but never did consider the whirlwind added damage. Once I get the rep I need from the SHATTERED SUN OFFENSIVE I can get that blue quality sword for my offhand.
