Strong Weapon in off hand?

[Meshog1]

Is it actually viable to use your strong weapon in your offhand when using t18 4pc? I had seen a few warriors doing it early on into the patch and was looking at them like they are dumb, but now i am seeing so many doing it that i feel like i'm missing some info. Any explanation would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Your Wild Strike says: "A quick strike with your off-hand weapon that deals 375% Physical damage (...)" and WS is one of your main sources of dmg. When you reach execute phase, you'll usally swap the weps.

Don't bother.

Yes you gain a very, very, slight modicum of damage using the stronger weapon in your offhand for Wild Strike, but it's also weaker for RB and Sudden Death procs. You also run the risk of forgetting to change your weapons prior to the execute phase, or using your cooldowns and then changing your weapons, incurring that cooldown, etc.

It just isn't worth it for the extremely slight (1% range) gain from Wild Strike.
