Help me understand why there should be 2 different playstyles and not just addressing the issues creating the imbalance in the first place?
Why not address the issue that 2h doesnt have access to Razorice?
Why not address DW having over double the chance to proc KM?
Why not address DW having the ability to half crit on Obliterate and Frost Strike?
What is this fixation on trying to bring back this split which should stay dead? Is it because of WoD with the insane Obliterate crits and people were playing it as FotM? A hatred for DW? Just want to make it even more complicated like people dont have to go through all these other systems to figure out whats best but now they have to run even more sims to see if 2h would now be good or DW is now good with this new gear that you got?
Or say with the new Covenant system that a certain Covenant plays well with DW and then the gear you get suddenly puts 2h ahead, but only if you were with this other Covenant.
Right now 2h is gone. For the majority of the expansions prior to Legion it was behind. Even when 2h was being buffed by Might of the Frozen Wastes back in Cata, DW was still ahead by 10%. Why would they ditch DW that was clearly the better performer?
The majority of str dps specs are 2h or use a 2h. Frost is the ONLY 1h DW dps spec right now for str users. There is absolutely no reason why they would remove DW. Even lore supports DW since Dk’s outside of gameplay, if they used a certain weapon set prior to being raised most went back to that weapon set. Sword and Board, DW, 2h, Whitemane was even shown to have a staff for a while.
Fix the issues that is causing the imbalance, create a fun spec, and let it ride. Its really that easy.
