wow-classic Rockbiter and Windfury Weapon at the Same Time (or Flametongue or Frostbrand)

[Starym 3,800]

 

We have a useful little discovery for enhancement Shamans in Classic, as you can combine the effect of Rockbiter Weapon with either Windfury Weapon , Flametongue Weapon or Frostbrand Weapon, so they're active at the same time! Spell batching makes this possible and it's not a universally useful technique, as it will spend a whole lot of mana, but there are plenty of situations where it might come in handy, from Vael, PvP or just the final burn phase of any boss fight if you have the mana to spare. Obviously Windfury is the best bet, as you can get all 3 of its swings with the extra 653 attack power from Rockbiter, packing quite a bigger punch.

Here's the quick video and text explanation, and thanks to GideonAI for the heads up!

So, turns out that Shamans can combine Rockbiter with Windfury, Flametongue, or Frostbrand by using the power of spell batching. To do this, you need to have Rockbiter active and cast whatever other Imbue when you're about to hit your opponent.

Unfortunately, because this relies on spell batching it will just fail to work sometimes. This is because the 0.4 second window for spell batches does not always line up with your timing, so you just need to time your casts as close as possible to your attack landing on your opponent. You can do this much more easily with a swing timer addon such as the one linked here.

In the video, I am demonstrating with Flametongue because it is a guaranteed on-hit Imbue. I have seen gifs on discord of others using this with Windfury, and people are starting to utilize this technique routinely in raids.

Thanks to Draikogu of the Chadhancement discord server for figuring this stuff out, and go crazy y'all!

See people just didn't know or think of this in Vanilla, or at least had no way to share and spread this kind of thing. Crazy things. Almost makes me want to play it again. Almost.

There's no way that's intended or you would be able to stack them before the hit even occured.
Care with using this as it might be considdered an exploit
