Hey look, another uninformed post by Schramm.

Yes, it works on bosses...why wouldn't it? The on use function adds about 5 dps to your overall dps when it's used whenever the cooldown is up.

Except, it's a 30 second cooldown on weapon switch before you can use the ability.


30 Second Cooldown.


30 Second Cooldown.


30 Second Cooldown.

Are you kidding me? Warriors use the fastest weapon they can get for tanking, not the slowest.

Know what you're talking about, please.

@Pzychotix Please re-read the comment, I said "Off-tank". The reason to have a fast weapon is so you can apply Heroic Strikes fast, and have a decent DPS, but since Devestate resets your weapon strike, having a slow weapon and spamming Devestate will grant you a lot more threat then using a fast weapon in a off-tank role, where you are lacking rage.

Please learn to read, then tank, then come back and reply.

Devastate doesn't reset swing timer.

It's hilarious that you think it does though.

@Pzychotix
Of course devastate rests weaponswing timer, you think you get white damage twice in 1.5 sec?

The higher the DPS rating on your weapon, the more damage that will be caused with this ability. This is a normalized attack, so weapon attack speed does not matter when calculating bonus damage in terms of attack power. Normalization means, all other things being equal, this will cause less bonus damage when used with a dagger, regardless of weapon speed, and will thus cause less threat. All in all, a slow weapon will still cause more damage because of its innate weapon damage.

So, when offtanking, when rage is a premium, using a slow main hander to spam low rage costing abilities, like devastate and Shield slam, from the back where you don't get abilities like revenge, this weapon will generate more threat then a fast weapon, since this weapon will in essence be a global cooldown between each hit and have a higher damage on each hit with devastate.

Oh of course I don't think Blizzard would allow you to get two hits within 1.5 seconds. That's why Sinister Strike resets the swing timer! That's why Mortal Strike resets the swing timer! That's why Mangle resets the swing timer! They would never allow you to do something so silly as get white hits in!


OH WAIT THEY DON'T. /laugh

@Pzychotix
Ok, lets say it does not, whatever, your arguments are still baseless on why a offtank should have a fast weapon and not a slow one. All you say is that this is wrong, without ever coming with a proper argument. Your trolling around without any sort of base for any of your statements. Unless you come with some proper facts to base your statements on, you are clearly don't know what you are talking about.

I don't have to prove anything. You haven't proved anything yourself. I'm merely refuting your inane statements.

(Oh and why would an offtank be rage starved? Are we talking about normal 5-mans here? Why would a normal 5-man need an offtank? Why is your regular tank so crappy that he needs an off tank for a normal 5-man here? Why are you still trying to argue for a point when you know you're wrong?)

@Pzychotix
Refuting "insane statements" is done by putting forth a valid argument, not just saying "your stupid", that is unless you got your debating skills in kindergarten.
