One of the best warriors on the server here, folks.

Case closed. Aint nobody got time for weapon swapping except for the turbo-nerd monks.
I got an extra 200 damage in though. My guild leader loves me.

2 seconds is not a long time.

There is no way anyone can reliably turn off attack, weapon swap from an open bag … hit … swap back and get that next swing in any given round. Much less do it over and over and over and over and over while fighting.
Plenty of people are capable. Competitive gamers constantly do more complex inputs than this.

If you're not able to do 5 mouse clicks while barely needing to move the mouse each time in 2+ seconds, that is your own lacking ability.

Doing it constantly without messing up is the harder part, for sure. Like I was talking about, not using auto attack at all is going to be easier for a lot of people. You'll essentially slow down your primary attack very slightly that way, but that's worthwhile if it means performing the sequence correctly, because getting the offhand attacks in is more DPS total. You could also just weapon swap every other attack round, to give yourself the mental/physical space to execute it. That would still be a net benefit.

Offhand damage is far more than 1 dps and it's especially relevant for maximizing DPS at the levels where there's less mainhand damage boost. That's why it was especially noticeable in 1999 when the best Warriors were swapping off their Executioner's Axe and doing offhand attacks inbetween.

I'm counting 2 button presses and 6 mouse clicks, which is around 240 APM. That's doable, but at StarCraft professional levels to sustain. More people can burst that high, but I'm not one of them; I cap out at 150 or so and can only sustain around 100 max.

With max haste I think this is impossible. I swap weapons and gear constantly. I'm not able to do this maneuver successfully without missing 2h damage.

Even if it was possible to eke out slightly higher DPS with this method (I'm skeptical), no one is realistically doing this for more than a minute or two at a time for shits and giggles (i.e. for the challenge of maxing their parse). Nobody wants to sustain 240 APM for such a miniscule - and frankly unnoticeable and entirely unneeded - increase in damage.

Consensus has been reached. Let’s close down this line of conversation.
