◆Who needs it
Typhoon suits a warrior playing two-handed DPS and works as a stopgap tanking weapon thanks to the parry bonus. The fast 2.90 speed is unusual for a two-hander and helps hit- and crit-oriented builds.
◆Farming on x5
World bosses in WoW Vanilla stand in the open world, so the key to looting is organization: form a raid, reach the spawn first and burst the boss down. On x5 respawns and prep are faster than on classic, so the window for Typhoon — Azuregos Two-Handed Sword opens more often.
