Season 12 i was 1808 not the best but i maintained that. I was DW all last expansion, and it was a blast. This season i made the move to 2h and my damage over all has gone up by amost 2mill. per rbg. gear has a factor but not a lot i only have pc tyrn. does anyone have any solid numbers? I think im better off with a 2h and the only reason is my burst. Didnt have that as DW.
2H has great burst on everything expect resto and elemental shamans, plate classes and tanks (especially weak vs holy paladins), but it also has a lot of downtime. Great burst on lower armor classes for like 3-4 sec, then there's waiting, with lots of downtime. DW has no downtime, great pressure, very good sustained damage, while armor doesn't effect it's damage at all because of most of it's damage is frost damage.
2h:
Weaker vs more armor
Great burst over little amount of time
High downtime
little room for other mobility rune-skills then Obliterate
DW
Very good vs heavy armor, not as good as 2h on low armor
Very good sustained damage
No downtime
Much room for other mobility rune-skills, "more mobility"
Does anyone have any videos on this matter they could link
