    Single Minded Fury issue.

    Something I've noticed that not many people have picked up on.
    If rage is normalized in Cata, and say every swing generates 25 rage, regardless of damage. (Completely made up)
    If that's the case, why would anyone want to dual wield 2handers? It just generates rage slower, and I would imagine 1handers would have a buff to make damage comparable.
    Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
    Right now it just seems to me that 1handed fury will be more viable, and that upsets me, as Titan's Grip is what attracted me to the tree.

    then perhaps SMF will balanced around that. kind of TG being stronger hitter and having more stats due to two twohanders, while SMF would be faster and would generate more rage in order to compensate for weaker weapons and less stats.

    Rage Normalisation is affected by weapon speed.

    If a 1H has 2.0 speed and a 2H has 4.0 speed then the 2H will generate twice as much rage, but hit twice as slowly.

    Rage will be normalized to weapon speed. You will earn the same amount of rage per second but 2h will earn it slower, in larger chunks while 1h will earn it faster in smaller chunks.

    Arms will just hit harder to compensate for less RPS (rage per second)
