Hey guys I know this is probably a repeat but I've seen lots of posts saying different things about various bugs and such... I'm wondering what the current opinion is on using flametongue for offhand in pve. I play on Lordaeron. If someone is knowledgeable, could you even clarify if one's better for leveling, low tier raiding/dungeons, and high-tier raiding. Thanks!
short answer: flametongue
Long answer: having 2 windfury isn't optimal (and can even lower your DPS) because the windfury effect as a whole has a 3 sec internal cooldown.
If your offhand happens to proc windfury, it will do inferior damage (because it's offhand) and will put your windfury effect on cooldown, which means your main-hand won't be able to proc in that time frame.
You'll get slightly more windfury procs (because both your hands can proc it) but they'll be less strong on average, making it worse than flametongue's spell + on hit effect.
Thanks! That's all great info :)
