So i was doing some simming, and raidbots shows me doing only 7k lower dps as 2h over dw. I will say the wowhead 2h spec is worse, but i even checked with our 4 piece. Its only a 7k difference. I played around with several different specs and going to hyperprexia (which also surprised me) led to to this very close parse. Ill post them when i get home. But like just load up raidbots and put in a 2h with the proper talents it seems to be almost the same.
Maybe raidbots isnt working properly?
Edit: I didnt explain the spec enough i think. What i used is all the 2 left bottom talents and then straight to htperprexia. This means no avalanch which sounds bad, but with high enough crit (im at like 27%) with consumables) its not very hard to keep up razorice. And hyperprexia is something shattering blade builds cant take that i think evens us out
I just dont known why everyone jumped on the dw bandwagon before testing anything. Im talking about you wowhead

People found out Shattering is a DPS loss through multiple reasons so its not really the go to DW spec even if you don’t go Breath.
2h still wasn’t up to standards. Doesn’t mean you can’t do it, but it’s just worse.

What i want to known is what you mean by worse? Like yeah 7k is worse, but when we are doing 1 mil dps, is it actually worse? Thats my question.

I don’t know where you’re getting this “it’s 7k worse” but I assure you, it’s very much higher than a 7k difference in equal gear.
Your character, with my weapons, for reference:

Almost 26k, 2.8%, which is way higher than your 7k figure.

I can create 2 specs that are 3k away from each other and say “what’s the problem”.
It’s not just 7k DPS when you use the top performing builds.
My raid’s frost DKs are simming 2h as less than a 1% damage difference between DW and 2h, in light of Shattering Frost dying and Obliteration moving to Rider.
Congrats bro, you found a sim gap when they aren’t even playing the 2hf build. Very impressive.
The DW, non shatter Obliteration rider build is better than the shatter build.
