Warrior Naxx Set knocks 2H Fury down compared to DW

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
1

The Warrior 6pc from Naxx stacks 1% damage for each crit up to 25%.

If you raid team won’t or fail to keep mobs alive for their melee to pre-stack this buff, then 2H Fury ends up a couple of thousand DPS behind DW.

DW Faster attack speed builds this buff must faster, normally within 10-15 GDCs, but 2H always lags behind taking a minimum of 25 GDCs is spamming cheap abilities.

After 2H has been a viable competitor with Duel Wielding for multiple phases now, this just feels bad. Some of us enjoy the 2H play style and class fantasy more but then pushes us towards DW even more than the already large lead in potential DPS DW already had in Naxx with pre-stacking.

Would be nice if this could just be a flat buff, or have another way to build it (like through rage spent or something) that means 2H don’t get punished.

Meanwhile, all of the gear has attack speed on it which actually benefits 2H more.

But 2H is still under performing in comparison. Even if they fix the set bonus DW will still be like 4/5k dps higher with maxed trinket.

We currently loose about 2k dps for not pre-stacking the set bonus, but DW only loose 1k, its a small change that still doesn’t balance the 2, just makes it slightly better.
