It’s clear they’re not going to balance SMF/TG. SMF sits and will continue to sit as this awkward node that serves no purpose in the Fury Talent Tree.
Just get rid of it and make some 1/1 talent a 2/2 talent. Make two-handed weapons transmoggable into one-handed weapons.
Give up on SMF. We know you have design-wise, I just want you to officially acknowledge it now.
This Draenei speaks facts.
It wouldn’t be a problem, but SMF isn’t even close to being competitive with TG.
Fury doesn’t value crit highly enough to make SMF competitive, especially when the majority of our damage eclipses anything an auto attack boost can provide.
They just honestly need to make it a passive as follows.
SMF - Your 1h weapons now act as if they’re 2h weapons and their stats are adjusted accordingly.
Done perfect parity between 1h/2h and players can choose what they want without losing any dps. Sure it opens up 2h/1h combinations especially when there’s a cantrip effect on both slots for STR users but they could always put in a caveat that cantrip effects don’t function unless you’re using 2h/2h or 1h/1h within the passive itself to stop that behaviour and make you commit to a weapon type when cantrips are a thing for that season.
If they made SMF give a decent haste buff + adding on stam bonus and made Titans Grasp a decent crit buff, itd be a bit more competitive.
But im down for just making it a Tmog thing. Tired of seeing it and hoping it gets better, when we all know its not.
