Dual wield + 2h [SHAMANS] WF

[ike]

Hello guys! Im a Enhancement shaman myself and i was thinking - Your 2hander is only really good, if you get sa WF proc and some crits on it for heavy damage, but it aint that good for just white non crits. There Dual wield steps in, wich does faster dmg, and crits more.

Rule ] With a 2hander, or any other shaman weapon, you have a 20% chance to proc a WF, and maybe get some lucky crits - if you use stormstrike, that will be 40% chance to get a WF process.

You need: a 2hander, and something to dual wield.

Rule ] Equipslot 16 - Is Main hand slot, and Equipslot 17 is offhand slot.

You go into /macro, and make 2x macros.

One saying /equipslot 16 2HANDNAME

And other saying

/equipslot 16 MAINDHAND
/equipslot 17 OFFHAND

__________________

after the equipslot 16/17 part, write the EXACT name of the weapon your going to use in main or off hand, or just the 2hander. You can also just "Shift-Click" the item into the macro.

Now you take down your macros to the action bar where'ever you want, and when you click them, you should equip what you made the macro equip. So you can switch from 2h to 2x 1 in a click.

Now, put Your enchants on the Dual wield weapons, and WINDFURY on the 2hander.

So, you have your 2h equipped at start, and you STORMSTRIKE - and fast switch to Dual wielding. And each time your STORMSTRIKE ability is ready, switch to a 2hander and STORMSTRIKE (40% chance to proc wf). so 2h stormstrike, and switch to dual wield. (you dont have to do it all the time, but it works good)

This can be used in pvp or pve, i dont know. i use in pvp and it works very well. I hope you guys can understand what i mean, if not, tell so - and ill try to explain a little better
:wave:

hmm, i thought you couldn't switch weapons in combat?

It's armor you can't switch in combat, as warrior I end up swithching weaps in combat pretty often.

[blenden]

you can switch weapons in combat, but not gear. it's been like this since day one of retail.

Lawl, no feedback on the idea, it is very possible and it works Works great.

[Frnit]

Nice trick.
Could you perhaps do it this way?
/equip 2hweapon

and
/cast stormstrike
/equipslot 17 mainhand
/equipslot 18 offhand

to hide the weapon changing GCD? I heard it might work..

[amaranth]

ill try it out just need some imba 2hander :P

[wr!ght]

can't you make a macro so that it switches the weapons and casts the moves then changes back to the duel wielding weapons??

so like
/equipslot 16 2HANDNAME
/Cast Stormstrike(rank#)
/equipslot 16 Mainhandname
/equipslot 17 offhandname

you would have to click this 4 times i believe, just an idea!

Hmm, I think its still 20% chance to proc, basically stormstrike is just another attack.

[CactuarInk]

As a fellow shaman, i can say that Stormstrike is another attack BUT doesn't trigger stormstrike. It simply can't. However, you can change weaps in combat but it toggles world cooldown ofc...


Summary:

It's kind of worthless to change weapons in combat, stormstrike CAN'T procc WF so its still 20% whichever weapon you use still it's a bigger chance that WF will procc with 1handers.

Tip:

Get two good one handers, both SLOW (yes the offhand too) if pvp and change your weapons dependence on the players you meet. Personally I use twohanders in every bg/arena I play but i'm soon getting a new 1h and then i'll change around.

2h for sucky geared as you will have more chance to crit/instagibb them, 1handers for merciless warlocks and such.


( I'm not sure about this but this is the tips I got from other shamans/friends)

[ike]

oh ok :-/ well 20% than. But nice idea you guys got about getting a macro to do whole switch,strike,switch macro - ill try to make one.

[Yooloze]

not a xploit ,,, put this in guide /strategy plz

[GanjalfTheGreen]

Stormstrike has nothing to do with WF proc %........

[CactuarInk]
