My Arms set using a single "Twohand" weapon should come out to 676.5, well above the achievement threshold. Instead, the flawed "MainhandWeapon" calculation only comes out to 636.3.

It's unclear exactly what Fury uses, since there's no information for a second two-handed weapon, but it's worth noting that the average item level displayed on the in-game character sheet only counts the first weapon while dual wielding two handed weapons, while ignoring the second two-hander completely. When dual wielding one-handed weapons, both items are averaged equally. Either way, no combination of weapons awarded the achievement, suggesting an error somewhere.

The one-handed sword and shield setup came out to exactly 673.3 (673.9 on the character sheet counting both rings and trinkets), which wasn't enough to trigger the achievement.

Upgrading the one-handed sword from 658 -> 662 bumped that up to 673.6 (674.1 on the character sheet), which is where the achievement finally arrived.

Now if only Blizz would use this analysis to fix this quickly.Comment by AkiyamaLightSmall indie, multi-dollar company.Comment by Miral007Can Blizzard do literally ANYTHING right?Comment by Wowgamer25I am 675 using either my 2h or two 1 handed weapons. Still no achieve.Comment by lovelywazOnce again, thanks to the players and community to do QA testing and bugs fixing for Blizz, since it's been obvious for years they don't really have a functioning QA team to begin with. 👌👍Comment by Naellersadly, blizz tends to fix the workarounds before they fix the bug being worked-around. Just look at the shipping and handling delivery job in undermine. There was a script you could use to cancel the broken job without losing your streak, which would then just give you a new job. Blizz ended up stopping that from working, but still didnt fix the broken job :(Comment by Archimtirossadly, blizz tends to fix the workarounds before they fix the bug being worked-around.

Not every WoW player will even read about this bug so how would they find out?Comment by apedosmilCan Blizzard do literally ANYTHING right?Comment by StevoxCan Blizzard do literally ANYTHING right?Comment by PyriusNevermind.Comment by VintradorThanks for the script - no matter what I do, it always shows up at 156 Main Hand, even when trying to use DW 2handers as Fury or Sword/Shield. Could be that none of my weapons are specifically notated as "Main Hand-only", and rather just "One-hand"? Thoughts on this?

Looking in my bank, it is the main-hand Warglaive that is counting as 156 Main Hand. Don't see any other Main-hand specific item options out there...Comment by SteampunkBATz11.1.5 is a bugComment by avatarofshadowhow do i equip dinars as my main hand weapon ?Comment by GnomesRuleNot defending them here, just pointing out that every situation is different, and the person responsible for fixing the bug might not even necessarily be the same person who decided to break the script.Comment by SerGlushkoim a hunterComment by WrekhBlizzard maths just like in D4.Comment by SerGlushkoim a hunter
