Dual combo opinions

Recommended Posts

Is there any advantage in taking the CHT as an offhand over the Doom's Edge from BWL? It would seem that their stats are almost identical, but Doom's Edge drops a lot more and would be better for Orcs because of the axe skill. The only downside is that hunters will be looking to take a few of them.

Doom's Edge is better because fast OHs eats up flurry-charges.

Interesting argument. I've also read the opposite, where people say they'd rather take a fast weapon like CHT because it will on average yield ~3 overpowers per minute. This goes into a whole other theorycraft on whether or not you should be constantly swapping and burning rage though.

Flurry increases white damage. The majority of your damage come from white hits rather than yellow hits. I'd argue that the benefit of having a slow OH outweigh the benefit of having a fast OH to proc OPs.

In the end your OH mostly serves as a stat-stick so a fast OH heavy on stats will probably be better than a slow OH with bad stats.

Crit chance for offhand same as main weapon and proc flurry, not eat only. Fast OH - more and frequently rage gaining.

Right. So would you still agree that the Doom's Edge would be better than CHT solely because of axe skill glancing damage?

Yes, If you orc Doom`s Edge is better than CHT. Its my opinion only, my experience as fury warrior is too low actually.
