If you’re spec’d as frost in dungeons you’ll always get 1h weapons. Why is that not the case with the vault?

With the return of 2h Frost, you’re now able to get 2h weapon as Frost.
It’s pretty much a sign of trying something different than DW.

Getting the 2 hand weapon is not the problem. Fixing Frost 2 hand to actually be fun is. They could make KM proc based off RP used instead of anything to do with auto attacks and then rebuff Oblit out side of proc and it would go a long way.

2H frost sims lower than 1H, and that hasn’t changed. I’m talking about consistency of vault items. If my loot specialization is Frost and I do mythics, I will always get 1h to drop instead of 2h. However, in the vault that is not the case as I have a 216 2H in there right now.

I’m just saying that this statement is no longer true with 2h Frost’s return. Meaning 2h weapons are now part of the Frost’s loot drop table. Increasing your odds against 1h weapons in the vault.
You don’t have to go 2h Frost. You can choose to keep it for your potential Unholy or Blood specialization.
You’re just SoL for DW i’m afraid.

Yeah, Frost can use 2 hand so there fore you will get 1 hand or 2 hand drops from both Mythic and Vault. You can also get them from Raid drops.
I’m 5 resets in and haven’t seen a weapon of any description. You go straight to hell.

I agree, remove DW entirely so this problem is fixed, then buff Frost.

Indeed, I’ve had 5 or 6 option every week and no weapon yet. I bought the 190 boe 2h week 2 of the expansion, it was my highest ilvl now its my lowest.
Only weapons ive seen since hitting 60 is the 1h from mists… 3 times. Once on heroic, twice on m0, in week 1 and 2 of the expac before I went arms.
If there is something like the Vault that uses a massive pool of loot, Frost can get either 1h or 2h weapons. If you only got 1h weapons from mythics then you have just been extremely lucky.
This wasnt a problem when frost could only use one weapon set, and its a problem now because of the divide in the spec. We seen it in cata with poor 1h drops where people were complaining that they had to nerf themselves if they wanted to play frost because 1h weapons were more rare than an actual bigfoot sighting but 2h weapons were so common it was like a wheres waldo puzzle but each character was waldo.
It’s random man. I’ve only gotten 2h weps to drop in dungeon runs from normal to mythic+. I love 2h look, but if I had my choice I’d go DW so I can run FC and RI runeforges.
Oh man, meanwhile my DK - who is unholy / 2H frost has seen only 1 (184 weapon) drop since release. Never seen a 2H wep in the vault, never seen one drop in any + key.
TL:DR; I’m jealous you even got a weapon at all.

Well if the spec you use has a weapon pool > 1, then this can happen.
Same for:
- Monk
- Mage
- Warlock
- Warrior
- Paladin (Holy)
- Shaman
Quit whining.

At this rate, it’s a hint to switch to unholy 
I spent 4 resets with a heroic weapon. Got a 2H from Ulduar timewalking, since it actually drops loot. Made the switch to DW because it’s much better than 2H, found a 1h in a mythic, and then went for a pvp weapon, but at least I know I can get it. I mean. I’m glad I had the option for loot, but it’s not an upgrade for the spec I am.
they just need to balance 2h to be closer to DW. not an easy task tho.
Making 2h get a 100% proc on auto crits brings Obliteration around 2% under DW BoS in ST. Making FSc and 2H have actual synergy, like adding it to Might, and 2H frost could actually be fine.

Got my 2h as Frost this reset, and I did just that, switched to Unholy.
With the 2handers my DPS gain for the spec would be:
Frost 2h : 25 DPS gain for single target, and huge loss multi target (compared to Breathe).
Unholy : 100DPS gain immediately, +200DPS crafting rank 1 legendary, and so many more gain from switching to Necrolord from Kyrian, upgrading the legendary etc.
Its entirely your fault for not swapping to unholy and opening the vault dude, The only thing that changes is it removes the 1hands out.
yikes
Meh. I got an ilvl 207 2h axe from the great vault and stuck with frost. The spec feels a lot better with ~20% crit, rage of the frozen champion legendary + avalanche and obliteration. I can consistently do around 3800-4000 DPS. If I get decent 1 handers I’ll use them but for now this works. I can’t bring myself to torture myself by playing unholy
