2h should get 2 runes

Idk if something has been said about this, but if you’re using a 2h then you essentially have no choice but to use unholy crusader so its kinda lame we don’t get to use any of the others as 2h. I guess shattered blade 2h might be pretty strong, but I don’t know if it would be that crazy.

Have they said anything about this?

Nah dw would only be to use 1 and it applies to both weapons

They have in the past and it was that the Obliterate bonus (which has ranged from 30% to 50%) is functionality the second runeforge for 2h Frost.

When 2h was originally returning the high level DK players (mostly theorycrafters) pushed for MotFW to just give free razorice and normalize KMs. Not sure why it has to be extra Obliterate damage but that’s a pretty great substitute for a runeforge in any case.

Probably won’t ever happen. 2h gets only one rune, but gets to benefit from MotFW.
DW doesn’t get big obliterates, but gets two runes.

The parity in performance between PvP and PvE is much closer than something like Titan’s Grip vs SMF for Fury Warrior. It could always be worse lol.

No, they gave us multiple ways to apply razor ice w/o the rune forge. MOTFW was always there to balance out DW generating more KM procs passively than 2h ever could.

At this point there isn’t a rune forge that 2h would really need, Stoneskin is sort of meh. 2h BOS would be pointless, not to be rude but what rune forge were you thinking about adding to your 2h spec?

Stoneskin. Lol. I wouldn’t snub my nose up at 5% extra health, armour and strength.

Unending thirst might be fun in M+ where you’re constantly killing and pulling.

Make 2h only runes that combine the affects of runes.

MotFW is 2h frosts second runeforge. They said it was the runeforge disparity of why they were adding it back.

The forum minority were loud with “2h OBLITERATE DAMAGE!” So that’s what they got.

MOTFW is the replacement for the second enchant.

It is also significantly more powerful than any other runeforge.

Because that’s the bonus MotFW gave (along with a lesser general damage boost) when it was added to the revamped talent tree at the beginning of Cata when frost became dedicated dps. It sat opposite of Threat which added off hand damage to abilities to make DW viable.

dW was still better than 2h in cata. It didn’t make DW viable, it made DW the best. MotFW didn’t even help 2h against DW.
