However, switching between 1h caster dagger and 2h feral staff will increase your autoattack and mangle dmg by a lot. I don't have a 1h to try it out, but it's somewhere between 50 and 100 % increase. You do need weapon switch macros and you lose 1-2 globals because of it though.
There's one more thing, I also tried oldschool healing weapon switching as feral. In a general situation it would really depend if you can afford the lost globals, since rejuv gets about 20 % more healing and a healing touch about 30 %. I think it's quite good in a crosskill 1v1, but rarely during a 3v3 match. Hotw tranquillity however could be quite sick with a weapon swap, you get about 25 % more healing done with the caster weapon.
