Orcs axe skill is broken

[tolyan]

Hi,

Looks like +5 axe skill for Orcs is broken at the moment. A week ago everything was fine, but now optimization suggests 2h swords for Orc Fury warrior

And if I manually remove 2-handers from the list, it suggests 7% hit cap instead of 6%.

Could you please check sim parameters for Orcs. Is it ok or something is broken?

Thx in advance

This thread is related to your questions (we made no changes regarding axes or racials):

Bonereaver's edge as bis for Ally warrior!?

Recently, something happened with the BiS function for classic. My warrior gnome use the golminers helmet, and have always got a 1H axe recomended as MH, (most often Edge och chaos). However, today i got recomended bonereaver’s edge, and the same goes for my human warrior friend. We are both specced fury, with no points in 2h specc. Is this a bug, or have you guys discovered something new? //Narw

Thx for a quick response.

Well, I can accept that sim could provide a better result for 2h on a fury warrior, but I don’t understand the reason it happens. You know, most of sensations are based on wrong numbers : )

I locked an axe in off-hand and ran 2 sims. Results look wierd to me:

1. “All DPS”:

ed08ba0b37a441a1aef98168314890f8

AP = 1080
Crit = 30.7%
Hit = 6%
Y miss = 0%
W miss = 18.8%
Hands = Flameguard Gauntlets

2. “Mostly DPS” (1 point to the right from “All DPS”. The rest is the same):

97973d8ff1294371a953af6cf4881808

AP = 952
Crit = 30.15%
Hit = 10%
Y miss = 0%
W miss = 14.2%
Hands = Edgemaster’s Handguards

What is the logic behind these numbers? Why do i need so high hit rate and 12 axe skill (5 racial + 7 hands)?

As soon as you move the slider off of all dps, you are attacking from the front. This means you can now be blocked and parried. Getting more hit and weapon skill has higher value in that scenario.
