Are there any tools to simulate/gauge DPS?

Sorry Has but you're wrong [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The parser lets you isolate fights based however you like, and yes, I isolated sets of fights which had no procs and the DPS was still higher with BR in the primary and Harpoon in the offhand.

And I never said arms didn't swing independently, I said the opposite. Oh, and stfu right back atcha.

get an eyerazzia and quitchyer bitchin!!

Never played a rogue, but I'd think evading you'd be OK to use a straight-damage proccing weapon. But is BR high aggro 'cause of the AC reduction (that it has iirc)? Maybe feigning in combat is just much better aggro reduction than your hide/sneak thing, though, idk numbers.

Question about damage bonuses, I still hit for 1 sometimes as a monk, and I've never quite understood it (I'm 50). This may be only on very high AC mobs, and that may explain it. Can't recall specific circumstances.

The BR hasn't caused me problems with aggro at all, 38dd a pop. The serrated bone dirk, however, was a major pain in the ass and I'm glad to be rid of it. With a warrior tanking, forget it, I usually swapped out the SBD for a straight-up FS rapier or something.

As for dmg bonus, it's my understanding that it's added to your damage after all the other calculations have been factored in. However, I'm not sure whether that's all before or after the mob's AC/mitigation is taken into account. If you're getting hits for 1 and assuming your dmg bonus is much higher, seems fair to assume that AC/mitigation is applied after dmg is tallied up. But alas, I'm guessing, hopefully someone can weigh in.
