Flurry Axe

This makes an excellent dual-wield for shamans in The Burning Crusade.

Shamans get the Dual-Wield talent at lvl 40, making this axe the best epic weapon for dual-wield in low 40's. And you will probably use this baby for a long time. You could buy the Shadowblade (lvl 48 dagger) but its too expensive (200g on my server) compared to Flurry Axe (50g..).

I'm currently a lvl36 prot aoe grinding paladin, and the reconing talent, together with the Seal of Light spell is awesome by it self with a fast 1H, but with this axe, it just have to be awesome. I'm starting AH scouting for this now, hope I find it before I hit lvl42. Proc rate of Judge of Light(the judgement from Seal of light) is 50% regardless of the weaponspeed. I currently use a 1.6 speed axe, and I get healed so much, I can take down 10 mobs my lvl+1 in one fast pull. Edit: just bought the axe on AH for 250g, I just had to have it, slapped a Crusader on instantly. I'm now lvl38, hope

No longer a good enhancement shaman for reasons stated below - Basically, due to the hidden WF cooldown fast weapons are much less powerful than slow weapons for enhancement shaman.

Despite its fast speed, I used two of these on my shammy from 42 to 61 until I got Fist of Reckoningx2. Despite the fast speed, they are excellent for lvling.

Why would you get the Vibro Shanker? Paladins cannot use daggers. =(

yes but you will only have wf on 1 weapon so you can take like ft on the this one.

World drop, levels 43-50. The proc happens often, and it can proc off itself. A Fury Warrior using Flurry with two of these would be hilarious watching them own somebody, unless it is you.

While theory crafting and testing has proven beyond any form of doubt that a fast off-hand is bad for a shaman pursuing good WF based dps, this weapon is far from bad for a leveling shaman. It outranks any other "easily" obtainable 1h axe/mace for offhand use on it's level in pure white damage. In fact, it is a WF loaded weapon in and of itself, so with a fiery enchant and Flametongue on this baby you'll be dishing out some pretty retarded numbers. WF is NOT i repeat NOT the god of dps from the second you receive it 'till kingdom come. Without a proper off-hand and the rather poor ap boost

while it is true that this is too fast, having good white damage and a great proc can compensate. The warrior and shaman abilities that take weapon damage into account are both on a 10 second cooldown; at [b]best[/b] having a [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=9651]slower weapon[/url] will give you ~6 more dps if you are spamming whirlwind or stormstrike. That being said, 6 dps is about the difference between purple and green weapons at this level, so the proc is the only thing you are buying for ~200g. Also, for clarification, this is a wonderful weapon for heroic strike. The added damage f

A warrior, or any class for that matter, duel wielding 2 of these is pretty bad. Despite the allure of all the extra swing procs, it doesn't make up for the fact that the weapon is so fast each hit hits for tiny. All the damage you [i]lose[/i] from weapon based attacks like heroic strike and whirlwind with this weapon is not even close to being made up from the proc. And your burst potential is very grim compared to using slower weapons. It's simple really, fast speed = bad for dps warriors and enhancement shaman, even in the off-hand. I wouldn't waste a dime getting this item. It's only va

My lvl 47 warri has two of these, one with Mongoose the other with Crusader, pretty powerful in BG.

lol i got duel flurry axes on right now i own in pvp 40-49 im un touchable! i love these things but it did coast me 600g lol

Guildies just gave me that nice axe. Really pleased so far. Proc occurs really often (I'd say as much as fiery enchant).

This is a great shaman weapon, the proc can trigger Windfury and its fast speed takes advantage of Wind Furys so it goes off a lot more often.

You are incorrect sir. WF has a hidden 3 second cooldown, so it will only be stealing the WF proc from your mainhand (which will decrease your DPS by tons). This axe is just for looks when it comes to a shaman.

EDIT: Sorry, at the time he wasn't incorrect about WF proccing more. It is NOW (since TBC) on a hidden 3sec cooldown.

From a fury warrior point of view this weapon has a lot of usability, even when you hit 60. While there are of course better off-hands available for lvl 60 characters, you should realize that a fury warrior generates most of it's rage from white damage. Since the proc will trigger quite often, this item will noticeably push your rage generation. I haven't run tests to determine if the basic dps tradeoff is worth the extra rage, i just wanted to say, that this still has it's uses at lvl 60. ;-)

I am twinking a Shaman as 40-49 and i have two of these babies both with Crusader. Shammy is currently level 43, and i don't have all the gear i'd like to at 49 yet. with both crusader procs up and SOE, i have nearly 900 attack power. Of course i am using Dual windfury. Its amazing how many 47-48-49's underestimate me in BGs. Paladins, hunters, and warriors get wtfpwned. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for twinking a 40-49 shammy.

You have the worst twink shaman ever if you are duel wielding these. You have absolutely no burst damage.

Having these as a Shaman in the 49 bracket is unbelievable. Although you're giving up considerable burst DPS with Kang, or Executioner's Axe, the Flurries will make it a caster's nightmare. Throw Crusader on both, or +15Agil on the Offhand. However, WFW on MH and FlameT or FrostB on the OH. (FrostB can crit, making it a nice bit of burst)

Flametounge Weapon can crit as well, but agreed, FrostB is better for PvP. Leveling a shaman right now, definately thinking about getting two of these for him once he hits 42. :)

This axe is amazing with protection paladins that have points in reckoning (10% to get an extra swing (reckoning) ) if anyone on the server shu'halo has one i would really like to buy it my name is masacre

Can any protection Paladins confirm that the proc'd extra attack does not take away from the 5 attacks limited to Reckoning?

Imo, as a level 45 gnome warrior, was specced DW Fury. They were unbelievebly CRAP using 2 of them. Imo if you are going to take any, take 1 as an offhand at most. They are too fast and deal very little damage, yet when DWing you miss most of the time. Specials do very little damage since it is fast, and the proc imo does NOT make it a good weapon since it is so fast. At level 44 when I could get a 2 hander (much better than DW at low levels imo) i quickly switched it, a lvl 44 BoP blue 2hand mace is WAY better than this i'd say. Much better crits on specials (whirlwind, MS ect). I even spen

Confirmed, procs with reckoning :) its very very cool. The effect is like the dash animation of a cat or sprint animation effect. Very good for a prot. pally

That's very odd. Your experiences seem to clash with everyone else's. I - like the poster below - have a pair of these with Crusader on my warrior (got them at 42, don't anticipate upgrading them until 58-60) and they rule. DW Fury does not benefit in the least from slow weapons, they're very high DPS for their level, the proc grants you extra rage... That - coupled with the fact that until Ice Barbed Spear all of the 2h weapons at this level are extremely poor for Arms - is a good reason to get these.

Confirmed that it does not use one of the charges for Reckoning. You can get three swings at once, and put out some massive threat.

When my warrior got to lvl42 i changed to fury and got me 2 of these with crusader on both. I used them all the way to lvl60. I never killed so fast with any char as i did with this. Most of the time i got 70k-90k exp pr hour from pure grinding. They proc a lot, give a lot of rage all the time and are fast for heroic strike spam.

My warrior has just turned 42 and I've a pair of these I'd like to use. I'm re-speccing to Fury and am torn on what enchant to put on my axes. Mongoose is out of the question, so I'm trying decide between Crusader, +15 AGI and +15 STR, and in what combination. I'd welcome any opinions on this. Thanks in advance.

imo the speed is too fast for your mainhand, but the dps may make up for that. As regards enchants; Crusader in MH and +15str in OH would suit me - not worth dual crusader due to proc rate in OH

Thanks for your reply - I liked the idea of +15 AGI due to the increased crit chance triggering Flurry, but can see that +20 STR (excuse the error in my previous post) gives significant AP.

Indeed,a very fun weapon to duel-weild, I recommend it highly, especially if you decide to twink it out with Battlemaster. I have found myself soloing equal-level elites through auto-attacks before I had them enchanted.

You'll know whn it procs by a light blue aura-flash around your feet and a 'rushing' sound.

does the proc work like sword spec where the extra attack is damage from your MH (if you're OHing the flurry axe)?

Just been testing this; and from the results it would appear the extra hit comes from the flurry axe (whichever hand its held in) Shame I know :(

Trying to get 2 of these for my Fury Warrior >:D It'll be HITLARIOUS Anyway, since they're BOE I can enchant them myself. The question is, which enchants do you all think I should use? I saw someone mention Crusader / +15 Strength. What about +Agi instead? I'm still new to fury warrior-ing so I'm not entirely clear on which stats help where, I've just been stacking it like my Druid. These are also high enough level to get the Outlands enchantments. Gonna grab Hand of Justice also, it'll be so funny

This is no longer a good weapon for a Shaman. It's too fast, the WF cooldown makes these weapons miss a large amount of swings which means your DPS is less than a 2.6 or slower green of similar level and lower DPS.

This is very true - the hidden WF cooldown means that two swings (or more, with Flurry) after each WF proc is spent in the cooldown. This is a very significant drop in DPS as it reduces your chance of WF proccing by 50% or more compared to a weapon with 2.0 speed or higher.

I might be wrong but a 1.5 sec speed seems nice for a 3 sec cd to me. It all depends on the fact whether you can proc on your 2nd swing or not. Is the proc available [b]in[/b] 3 seconds or [b]after[/b] 3 seconds?

The problem is that the fast swing speed means that the damage range is lower. This lower damage range (compared to even a crappy green like http://www.wowhead.com/?item=1608 ) means that Windfury hits for significantly less than it could. For example, over a three second span in which WF procs: Flurry Axe: 53 average damage 2 hits + 2 WF hits = 212 base damage Skullcrusher Mace: 76 average damage 1 hit + 2 WF hits = 228 base damage

People forget because of the lower damage range also lowers your stormstrike damage, singnificantly.

Putting rockbiter or flamestrike on these, imbues designed for faster weapons, could make these produce very nice DPS.

I have a 49 shaman dual wielding these beasts, and let me tell you... No caster within melee will ever get a cast off again. Between the 2x 1.5 speed + WF + Weapon procs...It just won't happen. It's absolutely astonishing for a shaman.

The best weapon for protection paladin until you find better with similar speed. Still using this excellent axe even I'm at lvl 63! Don't use it when you are tanking or healing in dungeons though :) It is excellent for soloing multiple melee enemies at the same time. All you need is as much light/wisdom seal procs as possible and this axe is designed for it. Higher damage and sta/int, etc. means little if you don't get enough healing from seal of light and die. If you are Alliance, Vibro Sword (alliance quest reward) might be a good replacement for this assuming you are protection paladin and do "AoE" farming.

Does anyone know if the Flurry Axe proc can proc Windfury? I know there's a cooldown on Windfury, but I mean more like giving it a second chance to proc if it doesn't proc on your regular hit. I also know that the Windfury proc can't proc anything else, so I'm assuming no, but I'm still hoping. Either way, I'll be damned if I let a mage in melee range cast any spell with a cast time higher than instant :oP

No, the Flurry Axe Chance on Hit cannot proc Windfury for a shaman.

This weapon is sort of like Blinkstrike, http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31332, Blinkstrike is a random drop from a few dungeons and a few zones in outlands, if one drops and you win it consider yourself lucky :-)

I saw a Hunter Dual Wielding these once. I wanted to shove broken glass into my eyes.

I'd have shoved it in his eyes, instead, personally. It's not like he's using them. "D'hurr, I'm playing my warrior, right? I'm too lazy to look and see if this is a hunter or not..."

I won this over a Hunter who WANTED to Duel wield these...

just saw today the same thing i almost killed my self
