So rogues can now use one-handed axes. Have you jumped on this new fad? I have to admit that some of the new axes from ToC look mighty tasty.
Have you noticed something a little…lacking since you made the switch? Something just not quite right? Well, I have you answer and the answer is a nasty little bug.
Take a moment and read the tooltip carefully. Notice something missing? Noticing how axes aren’t on the list?
Sadly, this is not just a problem with a tooltip not being updated. Currently, precision does not work with one-handed axes so that little “oomph” you’re missing that you can’t put your finger on, that’s the lack of 5% extra hit.
Obviously this is a bug and Blizzard is aware of it and I bet it will be fixed in 3.2.2 but it’s just something to keep in mind for the time being.
EDIT: This has been hotfixed. Enjoy your axes. Thank you, please drive thru.
THANK YOU! something has been bugging me about axes i swore up and down that was wrong with them.
Finally some confirmation!
THANKS!!
Commentary about 2hrs ago on WoWHead seems to say that this was hotfixed last night.
My Axe skill is currently somewhere down around my Staff and Polearm skills, so I can’t confirm.
Glad this was hotfixed, I skilled up with that crappy Key from VH just to take advantage of the OH axe from TotC.
Zaltu,
can you talk a bit about the armor pen nerf that is coming in 3.2.2?
Got my axe OH last night, let’s see how it works out to see how well the fix worked…
