Don't see a lot of people picking this up. Any opinions?

I've got precision and dual wield maxed.

My mainhand damage, with a 36dps hammer is around 56 dps.

My offhand damage, with a 29dps dagger is around 63 dps.



My offhand now outdamages my mainhand in dps.


Frankly, I love it.

I also love Blade Flurry, as when I pull two mobs now, I hit Blade Flurry, and all the damage I deal to one mob is also dealt to the mob next door (This seems to include styled damage as well, as I pop an eviscerate for 350 on one mob, and the mob standing next to him takes 350 as well).

sorry Cao but i dont believe those numbers. your offhand damage is cut in half. with dual wield adding 50% on to that you are looking at 75% of your mainhand damage. how can an offhand that has a lower dps weapon outdmg your mainhand?

I'm with this guy, consider my BS card has been placed on the table.


For one thing, I don't know of any damage parsers available for WoW, other than the one included in Cosmos and to my knowledge, it won't discern between offhand and mainhand damage, only between default melee and special attack. Secondly, the numbers don't make sense. It's mathematically illogical.

Well, until the patch yesterday, the numbers were accurate.

Now, they are under what they should be, mainhand around 62, offhand around 43.

They fixed the bug in character display with yesterdays patch. Offhand weapon always did less damage, just the number in your character window displayed it wrong previous to today.

you should never consider thier dps values to be anywhere near accurate anyway. all it does is give a baseline to compare 2 weapons by.
