    Shaman DualWielding exploitable glitch.. get more DPS

    I founded this myself after the patch release. I kept it a secret for awhile and made sure before releasing it.
    This is a glitch using dualwield and flametongue. You will get extra DPS for your offhand, nothing really magical.

    First let me explain what flametongue does:
    Imbue the Shaman's weapon with fire. Each hit causes XX to YY additional Fire damage, based on the speed of the weapon. Slower weapons cause more fire damage per swing. Lasts 30 minutes.
    This means that the slower your weapon, the harder the flametongue enchant hits, and vice versa.

    Now for the glitch: Your offhand flametongue damage is based on your mainhand weapon speed. (Best combo a slow mainhand and a fast offhand)

    Proof:
    My shaman is a 48 twink and my Flamtongue Rank 5 hits from 24.4-76 and i have a 2.8 speed mace on my mainhand and a 1.4 speed dagger offhand.
    Notice the same flametongue proc damage?


    Uncertainties: (Confusing, dont bother reading)
    Shaman's dualwield might behave differently from a rogues (or other classes). The offhand might just be an additional (yet separate) damage and might not have a individual swing timer. If it is the case, i might not be hitting with my offhand faster than my mainhand, and which it's not possible getting 2 offhand swings before the mainhand hits again. Contrast to my rogue with the same weapons speeds, my offhand often hits twice before my mainhand hits.
    My only proof so far is my combat log.

    Other info:
    -Doesnt work for flametongue totem since it only "enchants" the mainhand. So its SHAMAN ONLY!
    -Doesnt work with rockbiter either.
    -Its awesome againts plate (eg, warriors, pallies)
    -If you hit with Stormstrike (with both weapons enchanted with flametongue), you get 4 procs total. In my case it was like a free Flameshock.
    -When you crit physically, youll get flurry which enhances its effect (obviously ull get flurry if you spec dualweild).
    -Flametongue proc sometimes crit
    -You are free to enchant anything on your mainhand. But i prefer flametongue for both. Windfury on mainhand is still acceptable.

    if the main-hand proc WF it will do the main hands damages, and if it is your off-hand, it is the same thing but of course, less powerful

    This works....But it is also all over the Beta Forums as a Bug.

    Re: Shaman DualWielding exploitable glitch.. get more DPS

    confirmed, just tested w/ and w/o spelldmg gear, Using MH: HWL Cleaver, and a lvl 31 1.4 spd dagger.

    99-101 hits on both, 145-145 on both... 222 crits.

    I'll stick with dual WF cleavers though

    Re: Shaman DualWielding exploitable glitch.. get more DPS

    The point of this glitch is to give your offhand more consistent DPS rather than the burst DPS of the windfury. Imagine this as giving your shammy the dual wield specialization of a combat rogue. Its pretty nice for grinding and pretty deadly in pvp too especially againts plate. I personally prefer 2 slow hands (with big max damage) with both windfury. However, at level 49, a slow offhand would be hard to find.

    With the help with this glitch, i turned a fast green dagger's low DPS into an ilvl 70+ epic's DPS. Specifically, my dagger does around 30 DPS. With flametongue, it does 74 DPS. That is even more DPS than a Rank14 weapon. Normally flametongue increases my DPS about 150%, but with the offhand glitch it does 250%. As i said thats just at level 49--I dont know about the level 60's.
