Hey.

Quick question about weapons for fury warrior.

Why are ppl are saying fast mh, slow oh, or slow mh, fast oh.

Why not 2 fast weapons?

Few reasons,

biggest being that overpower/whirlwind/deep wounds are based on your weapons damage so SLOW MH is better, as those attacks hit with your MH

you want the fast OH for unbridled wrath procs and baiting dodges for overpower.

(yes you overpower as fury, low rage, high damage/crit chance and helps you keep up flurry)

A low offhand also has its uses. They will consume flurry procs slower, which is good, because you want to speed up your mainhand more for more damage. Dont know if this is enough to offset the uses of a fast one. Unless theres any math on it id say its debatable.

Worth noting aswell is that having 2x weapons of the same speed gives you an extra flurry-charge since your last OH hit wont consume that charge iirc. Generally you would just put what ever weapon is best in your OH disregarding its speed, but also remembering that weapons with proc-effects will proc less in OH. A fast OH may be the better choice for entry-raiding due to rage starvation and lack of +Hit gear while in BWL and onward weapon speed in OH will matter alot less, infact not at all really.
