Dual Wield SpecFollow

Rate up for the honesty - but you neglect to acknowledge that there are some who genuinely don't care if a question is silly or dumb. Some just shrug and try to be helpful. That may be the real difference between scholar and guru. Or whatever.

In my humble opinion, the real topic of this thread should be about your dressing in ladies undergarments while dancing in front of a mirror.

F*uck all of you for dropping my IQ after reading this..

I understand that it gets old. These are not my first forums. Don't you think that just ignoring it then would be the best option? Someone else will eventually answer them.

Anyway, the best way to learn is to ask questions.

I believe that Feyras and I are out of combat now. I think i'll just stay stealthed so you never get to blind me.

This is one of those threads you wished you never clicked on.


My hindsight is 20/20.

First and foremost, Feyras was justified in telling the OP that he should read the tooltip. It's obvious that it applies to all damage.

The tooltip would say "increases damage done by off hand auto attacks by 50%" were it only applicable to white damage. See Necrosis.

Second, Mental was right; you can use Distract while YOU are in combat. Try to read what people are saying before you correct them, guys.

Third, the OP overreacted. This is what happens when you ask an obvious question that's been bludgeoned to death on these and other forums.

There's also this little thing called wowhead that has comments posted on mechanics for talents.

In fact, your question is answered definitively and specifically in the comments for DWS.

Grats, this thread is stupid, the OP is stupid, and I'm regretting actually coming back to this forum.

If we're going to play bossy know-it-alls in fubar threads anyway...



Things do not become obvious until you see the logic behind them. Therefore 'obvious' is a term of which it's meaning depends strongly on the speakers' experience on the subject. Simply said; call him a noob if you want to, but what might be obvious to you might not be as obvious to someone else. The OP in fact more or less stated a short version that entire thought in his first post by apologizing in advance to the people to whom the answer might seem obvious.

That said, a number of things about the OP can be said. Perhaps he doesn't have much experience with the game. Perhaps one could call him smart seeing as he's realized that his question is probably easily answered by the people he's directing it at (which is generally a smart move as you don't want your questions answered by people who don't know anything on the subject itself). Regardless, I do not think you are in a position to declare what was justified and what wasn't. Ironically enough, neither am I even though I just did so.



The quote he cited said explicitly that the 'argument' was about the target being in combat. There is no black or white answer here since Mental (purposefully, knowing him) seeded confusion; it's not exactly strange to assume Mental meant to say "You can use Distract on a target that is in combat" since his reply was kind of off-topic if taken otherwise. See above.



I have to agree with this. Fey might've been a jack, but at least he didn't directly insult the OP.



A little research isn't a bad thing, but I'd say (note the I'd say, I'm judging here) a somewhat detailed question like this isn't completely out of place on the class forums of a game's fansite. After all, if it's so easy to answer the question, then why is it so hard for somebody to step in and simply do so here?



I concur. It could well fall under the state of being called 'FAIL'.

And now, because I can;


Don't you think it's funny that it generally takes multiple explanation posts from my side before people actually understand what my 'stupid' question is? Do you generally spend heaps of time to understand stupid things, then? I'm not sure why you felt like taking a stab at me here (wait, I do, "Now, I do agree that I am an @sshole sometimes"), but I pride myself on being able to show a little empathy from time to time. I do think many will agree with me that this wasn't a completely retorded question, especially not in the way it was asked. Another ironic line incoming: If you ask me, people like you should learn to set their mileages to a more flexible standard so they stop wasting time insulting those who don't deserve it.


This is the point where I usually get downrated, ignored, or downrated and ignored, but I've one more 'estimation' as to how this thread will continue to make before we proceed;
"Now that everybody's aboard the failboat, the matches karma camping start at 3 'o clock. Get your tickets and make sure not to miss them - participants are kindly requested to keep their litter with them to keep the playing grounds clean."

The stupid thing would have been asking a question, getting your answer, and then telling the poster to kill himself.

It's one thing to be insulting, call someone a window-licking ******, ask them to go find their hockey helmet because they're in danger of a concussion, etc.

It's completely another to tell someone to kill themselves.

Because, like, you know, they might actually do it. Srz bzns.

**** this thread.

What can I say, I like to go above and beyond the call of duty. "Kill yourself" is brilliant - it is concise, blunt and effective.

P.S. This thread is a load of Jabberwocky.

What you're asking about is critical strike chance which is obviously not effected by the talent in question. And yes, all damage done by your off-hand is effected by Dual Wield, but note that not all abilities use the off-hand in their calculations (Evis springs to mind).

Dual Wield is generally considered a primary foundation talent for just about any spec, for any rogue, on any realm, for any reason. I cannot think of any reason off the top of my head where I wouldn't take it.

Zaf, I suggest you study up on rogue mechanics basics for more info.

Cheers! =)
