FS was a huge portion of dps for 2h frost and now it's simply a minor one.Ĥ. Frost Strike nef - the minor nerf to FS pretty much eliminated 2h frost from the picture. Sigil bonus - Both SoA and the new Sigil from Frost emblems benefit from DW especially SoA which gives the Sigil bonus damage to both hands.ģ. Dual Runeforging - Razorice combined with FC give a significant boost to overall damage.Ģ. DW destroys 2h frost dps in every fight that lasts longer than 10 seconds. Due to the nerf to FS and the change to Sigil. Also, if BCB has any sort of ICD or PPM restriction, you may be looking at roughly the same thing as KM's restriction.ĭW scales better at high end gear than 2h. However, this alone will not swing the bar hugely in favor of Frost DW. You will have bigger chance to proc Blade-caked Strike in Unholy. Count the fact that your OH also has a slight delay on it and that 1H weapons have lower DPS and top-end and you can see that they are roughly equivalent from Necrosis.Ĥ. Your OH suffers a 50% (25% with 3/3 NoCS) damage penalty. Again, this was made to be competitive with 2H, not to flat-out win. You will do double dmg with Necrosis in Unholy

This is further lessened if KM operates off of a PPM principle (someone clarify on this, please).ģ. Unless you can produce twice as many rune ability strikes, you are not looking at twice the chances. But KM operates off of every melee attack and melee special. Twice the chance from white attacks, maybe. It just catches you up to a 2H's quality of damage per strike.
