Dual Wield

Thinking of making a dual wielding fury warrior, provided that can work, did some working out comparing rogue to a warrior. Since warriors can't get any form of increasing offhand damage and it starts at 50% of the base damage, I decided to go for Imp. Battle Shout 5.

Dual Wield Comparison

Im. Battle Shout 5 = 25%
Dual wield Spec 5 = 50%

E.g. Weapon = 85 damage


Warrior

Mainhand = 100% base damage

(46.25+185+85) = 316.25

85 base damage
185 damage battle shout
+25% more battle shout = 231.25
+ weapon damage = 316.25
+ str modifier =

Providing all the above is correct then offhand = 273.75

offhand = 50% less base weapon damage

(46.25+185+42.5) = 273.75


Rogue

(85*50%) 85+42.5 = 127.5 = Dual Wield Spec rank 5

85 base damage
+50% damage rank 5 dual wield = (85+42.5) = 127.5
+str/agil modifier =



If anyone knows the formula on how str and agil effect this would be helpful.
Or an estimated guess at what agil/dex a Rogue and warrior have at 60.

Or just say if its completely wrong

 

Crud Fuzzy mind moving this to Class Discussion? Thanks in advance..

 

Came up with this relatively quick.

19% more. But can be modified by items with %chance to hit.

How does dual wield work in WoW?

I guess the offhand has a base chance to swing along with main hand? If that's the case then I'll gladly miss out on the 19% loss in accuracy for more damage.

 

How does Dual Wielding work?

Off-hand attacks deal 50% of the weapon's designated damage.
Your base chance to miss when Dual Wielding is 24% as compared to 5% when wielding a single weapon.

^From classesofwarcraft


Hence why I calculated the damage variances between 2 different skills for Rogue and Warrior

I guessed some people would tell me just to roll a rogue so I wanted to see the difference in damage.

 

25% chance to miss, I guess it will miss alot more in general but thats 25% chance to miss per swing per weapon.
If the weapons swing at different speeds as stated above your dps will still be high.

Either way, I'll test it in FB, was just an idea to make the class since it has alot of skills that increase attack speed.

 

Bug or fact?

 

That doesn't tell me much.

Fact as in it's known to the players.
Working as intended in Daoc terms?

 

Thanks for the input Having not played the game, and just looking at the talents I don't really know which weapon type I would prefare.


edit: Sharpening stones? Haven't read anything about that, what is it?

 

I can get bored trying xD
