No it isn’t, It’s calculated from WS vs Enemy Defense skill (5xlevel) and the formula changes when WS < Enemy Defense by 11 or greater.

I believe the ap calculation into your weapon damage is still based on the speed so yes it’s normalized for yellow dmg but the ap bonus is still variable depending on weapon speed, so having a slow weapon would still give you more damage because of the ap calculations.
I didn’t even train slam at all on my horde warrior at first. For some reason I always thought of it as “the weird cast time melee skill nobody used in vanilla”.
Then I actually researched it a bit and understood how it worked and realized it was actually kind of a big deal, especially in the 30s before you get MS. I won’t be making the same mistake again lol
weapon speed doesnt mean anything in classic just saying.
especiallly while leveling.
weapon dmg is normalized for specials.
Rage generation isn’t normalized though is it? I used a 3.3 speed sword before Smite’s and was generating like 8 rage a hit. With Smite’s I’m getting over 10 and it feels a lot better.
A good weapon + Ony/Nef buff is bis.

rage is based on dmg done.
if you do 200 dmg over 10 seconds. it doesnt matter if it was 100 dmg 2 times, or 40 dmg 5 times. the rage generated is the same.
