Quote:Windfury helps a lot with feeding the rage for cleave and sweeping strikes in my experience. I mean a WHOLE LOT.
I was tanking baron runs at ~75-85 DPS then on the run where you and Treesh went, I was closer to 120 DPS. This was primarily due to the amount of extra rage for cleaving that windfury allowed, though partly because I was simply generating less aggro on the targets and using cleave more than before. But still it was a very noticeable difference, and even without an offhand I was often in a cleave / swing / cleave rhythm, since more often than not you're generating a windfury proc in there somewhere.
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting what windfury does for rage (my big warrior is alliance scum). Very goog point. I can't wait to see Eskhandar's under windfury. Some of the rage suck of that weapon is also when it procs and you are swinging at 1.1 swings a second, you can cleave that fast too. :) With an offhand feeding a bit more rage, and don't forget the offhand gets that 30% speed increase too. I think when I did the calcs based on what looked like a 7% proc rate from my tests, that it was really more like a 53 DPS weapon than a 48 DPS weapon. And in dual wield mode you get even more because of the DPS boost the offhand gets as well. Yeah those windfury procs would really pump that thing up. I gotta see this at some point in time. :)
