Which is better raw DPS?
For you math nerds.... mathematically, which is better for raw DPS...
Level 40 monk Addy Club 15/25 main-hand : SoS 17/28 off-hand or IFS 38/40 two-hand This might have too many variants to break down mathematically..... if so.... I would still like everyone's opinion. |
without any proof or math, I want to say IFS

Use something like gamparse to display your DPS and then you dont need to know any math

I am not a Monk expert by any means, but I would guess IFS at your level. My reasoning is simply that dual wield is a skill, and that means lower skill = less offhand attacks. So unless level 40+ has the skill range at which dual wield starts really taking off, you should get better use out of a 2h weapon. Less ripostes from enemies too.

IFS is better assuming you're fighting things your own level

Fewer swings so fewer miss chances?
Also if I'm not mistaken on targets that are close to (or lower than) your level your max hits tend to be higher? |
Dual wield combo is slightly more raw dps according to my formulas, but if you're tanking/soloing you should use the IFS—2h are almost always preferable when trading ripostes is involved.
(EDIT: my damage bonus code may be off. If someone tells me what the damage bonus for a 40 delay weapon at lvl 40 is right now on green, I can run the numbers again) |
IFS esp if you are executing the off hand punches in between swings
