Main Gauche

This is one of several client rows named Main Gauche, not the player ability. Looking for the spell you cast? See Main Gauche →

Main Gauche is unchanged in WoW Forever: the client ships the same tooltip as Classic Era. Its tooltip reads: "Gain the Main Gauche ability: Instantly strike with your off-hand weapon for normal off-hand weapon damage and increase your chance to parry by 100% for 5 sec or until you successfully parry. For 20 sec after using Main Gauche, Sinister Strike costs 20 less Energy, deals 50% more threat, grants stacks of Rolling with the Punches, and both Sinister Strike and Eviscerate deal 50% more damage. Awards 1 combo point. Main Gauche benefits from most talents and effects that trigger from or modify Sinister Strike. Main Gauche's effect will not discount or empower Main Gauche."

Main Gauche tooltip, the same in Classic Era and WoW Forever

The same tooltip in both clients: every line the Forever client ships matches Classic Era.
