Axe of the Deep Woods + Thrash Blade?

[Anklebiter 0]

I'm debating whether to keep my Axe of the Deep Woods and Thrash Blade (both 2.70 speed weapons) or stick it out for something like Dal'rend swords. The more I think about it, the better my weapons seem -- the flurry talent, for example, benefits from having two weapons of the exact same speed by giving an additional "swing" with flurry active, since both weapons tend to strike at the exact same time. Thrash Blade is also a slow weapon, making it better for crusader procs. The double-attack proc also (presumably) increases the number of crusader procs I'm getting, and the extra DPS gained from the double attack at least partially offsets the relatively low (35.2) DPS of Thrash Blade.

It seems like there's a lot of synergy going on. As a gnome, I don't have any racial concerns. Any opinions on whether my current weapons are sufficiently good not to worry about that maddeningly elusive Dal'rend set?

Your off-hand will have a 0.2 second delay behind your main-hand swing.

The additional swing will grant the additional swing of the MH or OH it procced off of.   Off hand additional swing does not grant main hand additional swing.

You may be thinking of the Feenix bug where your OH procs would be granted to your MH, which your MH swing timer would then reset after getting the additional proc if you didn't have same speed, or close to same speed.  That is not the case here.

Ahhhh. Several fury warriors I've spoken with on the server have said otherwise. Thanks for the clarification. I suppose there's no benefit to having weapons of the exact same speed, after all.

At this point, I'm wondering whether a higher DPS weapon like Skullforge Reaver or Mirah's Song might be a bit better overall. :/
