Claw of Lightning is disappointing (ranger)

[Snaggles]

I have been able to sit down and spend more time parsing different setups on my ranger. I presumed the CoL to be at least comparable to the Swiftwind but at least in my testing it seems to be lagging behind when averaging Ring War and Hall of Testing kills. It also has pretty marginal stats compared to the Kunark epic.

Ultimately for a 20% worse ratio, the 50 attack at least seems to make up for it. Maybe there is a break-point where with enough attack it will shine but today in HoT I couldn’t see a parse that tipped it as an advantage, even with bard songs and Avatar at 1537 attack when the Swiftwind setup was 1587. With this attack my highest parses still came from the 2h but I didn’t have enough tears or control to run accurate averages. I’ll keep plunk away though as my sample groups are small.

Does anyone have differing thoughts or examples for the ranger? I’ve tried a Meljeldin, BoF/Claw, and BoF/Swiftwind. With and without proccing a primal. I have 41% worn haste so the claw added haste is a moot topic.

For the rogue I feel it might make sense. It’s a solid offhand ratio and 1% extra haste if you are main-handing the epic (or cycling it for backstabs). I’m just speculating on this.
