Ability-casting timings

#1 » Post by Neack » 07 Mar 2014 03:52

This may be a silly question but I still need the answer, so :P

Are DK abilities that deal % weapon damage always cast instantly (instantly causing a weapon swing regardless of swing time) or only when their tooltip says "Instatly hit ..."?
If the later (or never! ^_^ ), are they cast main-hand swing only, or on either main or off-hand whichever comes first?

Thanks in advance

afaik, only warriors and druids got on-swing abilities, no?

And oh, well, rune strike is on next swing...

DK spells like Scourge Strike are counted as separate attacks. These would result in a "weapon swing" I suppose but they're not modifications of your normal white hits like Rune Strike and Heroic Strike are.

I.e. They're not dependent on your normal weapon swings.
