So I'm bored and I haven't been to sleep and it's time to start the day, and I'm playing with talent calculators as I am wont to do. As we all know, a much lamented fact of warrior play is MS (and slam, which is actually more damage-per-rage than MS now even though it's fricken unusable in pvp) makes obsolete all builds that don't use the top dph 2her.

Well, that's true, but with all the happy weapon switch macroing for sheild bash and ambush that's going on I think I have a way to eek out a bit more dps, or at least get weapon macros nerfed. It rests in dual weilding fast weapons and Unbridled Wrath in Fury. A 40% chance to gain 1 rage point isn't worth losing improved demorolizing shout and piercing howl at 3.7 speed, but with two 1.5 daggers... ? Your rage gain would take quite the jump. Then you bind the blackhand doomsaw or whatever to your MS macro.

Worth doing warriors? I really don't know well enough if the rage gain jump would be worth the hassle, and losing piercing howl would sting much.


edit: I'm awake now. Doing this would gain you on average 6.4 extra rage in 6 seconds, so every MS effectively becomes about 21% cheaper. Pretty strong.

Its not worth it IMO.

Honestly, I had a lot of success doing that in duels, better then just using a 2h . However its a massive pain in the ass and honestly I am too busy in pvp to worry about hitting weapon switch hotkeys every 6 seconds.

Can you bind the wepon switch into casting Mortal Strike? Create a macro that will switch the weapon and then hit a mortal strike, then switch weapons back?

This is what I had in mind, if it was a multiple keypress thing (especially involving global cooldown) it is definitely not worth it at all. I thought it would be possible to have a one-press macro that switches you to your 2h, uses MS, then switches you back to your rage-up weapons.

Indalamar did you test that with Unbridled Wrath or did it work well without it for you?
