If you're crazy enough you'll do it all over again!
Well depending on if the changed TW weapons are better than hatebringer or not I suppose...

I'm interested to see what happens, will I be bummed if all my gear goes to shit? Sure but it is what it is.

So far it looks like already acquired gear remained the same but future time walking gear will be at lower item level. Dungeon guide shows ilvl43 vs ilvl60, for example, which is still better than regular dungeon drops (not the case for lvl 20 twinks though where time walking gear appears to have lower ilvl than regular dungeon drops).

Wellp, glad I farmed them when I did. Missing a few points to all stats in every piece of gear won't even feel like the same toon.

This is based off the in-game Adventure Guide.

oh snap
I'm not too worried about new TW drops being lower because I went balls out farming as much of it as I could, and most existing twinks wont care either because most of our gear isnt TW gear.
But for new 11s this suuuuuucks for them.

I’m aware this thread is about testing 2-handers for lvl 11 fury warriors, but for (fun and) the sake of comparison with lvl 10 fury warriors, I did a 5-minutes test on the 4 target dummies in Boralus with my lvl 10 fury warrior Dudili equipped with two TW 1-handers, The Bladefist (ilvl 56) and Flurry Axe (ilvl 51). Both weapons have haste procs instead of secondary stats:
As can be seen from the stats-pane below, my warrior is haste-optimized, so other optimizations might end up somewhat differently from this test.
Result
DPS fully geared: 594 dps
DPS Weapons only: 234 dps
I think the 594 dps fully geared was due to some lucky procs from trinkets and weapons, as the subsequent tests only ended up around 570-74 dps. But still, it shows, I guess(?), that a 1-handed fury warrior at lvl 10 should be able to do approximately the same dps as a lvl 11 fury warrior equipped with 2-handers.

One big difference though is warriors like a lot of classes got a big damage boost at the start of the new season.
I've just been too lazy to retest one of the pairs Id tested previously to compare the results.

Could I make a request a humble request to formally test lvl 30 Hatebringer as an off-hand stat stick? I've tested both Runeblade and Hatebringer as off-hand to my 4.7 dps Waveslicer mainhand and consistently get a higher DPS with Hatebringer primarily due to a sizeable increase in Lifesteal procs and damage which is odd to me because they all have a weapon speed of 3.6 so I'm not sure why. I've done this several times while removing any proc trinkets as well but I'm looking for confirmation of whether I'm wrong or not. Thanks!

Logged into 26 notifications from all your likes I was like oh shit what did I do.
I'll try your suggestion eventually.
I, like many on here predicted, got totally burnt out and have lost most of my interest in the game.
Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn remix.
