Weapon Damage Does matter??

Fury Swipes says it deals 310% "weapon damage" is this actually based of the weapon or the druids damage?

All the other abilites (mangle, shred, etc.) just say XX% "damage" which is why i'm a little confused.

Can anyone clear this up?

Your weapon's damage is normalized to a certain speed. It uses the weapon's normalized damage.
Edit to clarify: Weapon DPS is still what you're looking for, as far as I know.

"Weapon DPS - Directly scales white damage, Fury Swipes, Swipe, Ravage, Mangle and Shred. Weapon damage is normalized to 1.0 second atttack speed, so weapon speed and damage range are irrelevant - only Weapon DPS matters." Straight from the sticky.

The way weapons scale in forms is as follows. It takes the dps of your weapon (the actual value, lets say 100 for ease) and multiplies it by the base speed of the form you are in. Cat druids have a 1 second swing, so the weapon damage portion will be 100 on each swing. For bear, they get a 2.5 second timer and the weapon equates to about 250 damage on each swing. So in general, higher dps weapons will increase the damage of all your non bleeds (which scale with ap).
The actual "dps" of your weapon will make the largest difference in your damage over any other gear upgrade. It is yummy!


yes, size does matter. if she says differently, she's just trying to be nice to you.



oh wait.
