Weapon Guide to DFO
The Guide itself had a few mixed fonts, so it's all set to Verdana now. Clouds, first lets see the reason for using fast weapons in TBC. Your number 1, 2 and 3 are all not the actual case. You get the same amount of rage and the same percentage of dodges / parries / misses with a fast weapon as you do with a slow weapon. So rage doesn't matter when it comes to weapon speed. A slow weapon also does not do more dmg overall than a fast one, except when you use buy Dungeon Fighter gold abilities that use weapon base dmg in DFO.
The real reason we like fast weapons(Dungeon Fighter gold) is because it allows us to spam more Heroic Strike. Because HS can only be done when you hit with your weapon, a 1.5 speed weapon will hit twice as many HS's as a 3.0 speed weapon, for example. This equals quite a lot of extra threat. Of course, a fast weapon gives the same amount of rage as a slow weapon but gives it in smaller amounts in smaller intervals, which is slightly better for our cause too.
