Absolutely man, it was enlightening.
Our methds:
-we pulled Drioc to 4-way and kept him malo’d and slowed.
-Torpor was only used on Jolav.
-All heals on Chillwin were direct blast heals to ensure the slow component from Torp didn’t taint the numbers
-buffs on chillwin were only focus stam regen dain ring and 50% shaman haste
-no avatar or monk epic click as the possibility keeping of not these up would could taint the numbers
-the goal was slow control with all variables identical except weapons equipped
-chillwin always attacked from the front even when I was getting beat on
-chillwin would attack until 25 then flop and let mob regen up
We managed 4 runs with 15/18 and 13/17 and a few more than that with 2hand.
As posted, Abashi was 2.5% more dps when procs are excluded (160dd root proc won’t work on most all raid targets). With procs and buffs as is on this mob DW was 4.84% better. As Chillwin had 255 dex, full buffs with call of predator, VoG, avatar, Str of Nature, epic click (full on melee buffs), Abashi would have pulled ahead of DW with procs by a marginal amount. The proc dps would not be influences by further buffs, only the shite damage.
As chillwin points out, they’re more or less interchangeable. This has held true for both high ac and low ac.
For anyone interested in Parsing; use Kael. The fast regen on these mobs ensures you can use the same mob over and over again to make sure no variables change except that which you want to investigate.
