So having Saber and GDoH are worthless if you DW wield them with that horrible 5.3 ratio?

Time to look for new weapons!

I'd use them at 5.3, but I'm PVE.

With max haste, the delay increase may actually help.

I have my SoD quest waiting to turn in, I might be doing the Gladius mainhand and my Chel'Drak's shard offhand until I can get a Clearcutter or something along those lines

'Base damage' is static, 'Actual Damage' varies based on stats.

The only thing that really concerns me about all these changes is that proc% isnt compensated after increasing delay. In other words you are effectively losing 33% procs. . .

Can all you testers look into this, because its really disturbing imo.

dont you think your dps will definately go up though, considering you will be wielding 2 85+ rating weapons instead of 60s, and rangers, casters and 1 handed scouts shouldnt be affected by this at all. i guess the more delay on secondary might make it not as amazing as it could be but gdoh getting like 70 more damage and being in your primary at same delay would makes tons of higher crits and stuff.

It's not the same delay unless it was changed again. The delay increase is on both hands. Your DPS will go up because of the longer delay/higher damage probably helping crits and less delayed swings, but you'll also lose procs. I think the net gain/loss will probably be equal, depending on which poison you're using.

I agree with teh duck as it stands now.

Less procs sounds like just another good reason for Hemotoxin ;).

... and Frontload?

Satinah · 08-19-2007, 02:35 PM

The crits/higher damage is not a factor, its something to compensate for swinging and criting less times.

The only real gain is that itll be a little more forgiving on missed swings cause of CAs, which isnt that big of an issue with 4sec weapons to begin with.

33% proc loss is just not fair, period. Theres a reason why they balanced procs between different weapons and different delays, because well. . . every class should be able to make use of procs the same no matter what they are wielding. We have already been hurting in that department cause of stealth.
