This is (assuming you are crit capped) another 3.2% (for the calculation see below) damage increase 2h gets, making the total increase 10.7%. This is indeed more than the combined increase of 7.3% I calculated for 2h (1.02*1.052=1.073), but if we look this close we can not neglect anymore the critical damage increase from weapon master 2h gets. Taking the values from above (261% damage for dual wield without offhand PM bonus) this is a total increase in damage of 3.1% (269/261=1.031)Ĭombined with above calculated increase of 4.4% we get a total increase of 7.6% for dual wield (1.031*1.044=1.076) I think the highest PM from an offhand sword you can get is about 2700 (239 might*8 +about 800PM), so lets take your 3k PM for the calculation.Įvery 7.5k PM the damage bonus is increased by 20% so 3k PM is a damage bonus of 8%. I think every endgame champion who knows what he is doing is already crit capped (at least when buffed) no matter if 2h or dual wield. Ok, so lets takeat least the PM from the offhand into the calculation. I am not going into detail on this, but hope you see that the bonuses from red line are by far superior for 2h than for dual wield.Īnd you appear to have forgotten the approx 3k mastery plus crit from the off hand weapon :P You will find that this a damage boost of about 5.2% - in addition to the above mentioned 2% and going 2h you also receive +15% critical damage on top of this. Additionally you get -5% attack duration from weapon master. Now let us compare this to the bonus you receive when going 2h.Īs a man you get the same 5% damage bonus for 2h swords, this is (with values as above) a total damage bonus of 2% (255/250 = 1.02). We are now at 261% which is an increase of 4.4% in total damage (261/250 = 1.044). Now lets assume you are around 60k mastery which would be a damage bonus of about 150% whis is added to your base damage of 100% thus making yor damage 250%. I am not sure if you understand how a percentual damage bonus works.įirst of all, the +5% men bonus only works once so it would only be 11%, but is in reality even less.Īll percentual damage bonuses are added to your damage bonus from physical mastery. ![]() Personally, I've found DW far better for "fluidity" if nothing else, plus for a man champ, redlining 2 swords gives a 16% damage boost, which, imho, is better than the big crits from a 2H.ġ6% damage boost? I suspecct that you simply summed up zhe +6% damage from weapon weapon master trait with +5% sword bonus damage from man traits (and this one two time for two swords). Because of that, I am once again struggling between this choice :/ I thought that I tune my gears towards situations where I really need performance, and I thought that situations where I am AoE'ing are not that critical (cleaning trash mobs in instances with team backed up by a healer).īut lately, I have been witnessing DW-champs and situations where good AoE output matters, for example SH T2C, and in general seen champs that make wonderful job with dual wielding. Third, I was more interested about PvP, and there the swinging speed does not matter that much as you are trying to hit moving targets. Second, there are skills that I tend to use that have mainhand damage only, even when dual wielding. ![]() ![]() First, 2H should give better crits, as crit damage is always computed from the weapon's max damage and with crit rate boost from traits and gears I was witnessing crits to contribute considerable amount to my overall DPS. There were several reasons for this choice. After HD when I was thinking which LI to make, I ended up to 2H. I have been struggling with this question all the time I have played champ.
