Claw of Lightning is disappointing (ranger)

That's a fair point. The highest I've had with Cek is 94, but I've had a fair few where I've struggled to hit the high 60s. It's the inconsistency that I find frustrating.

Way I see it is high 60s to 75 ain't much difference, but 94 to 75 is. Take the ceiling

Vindi is the most relatable target but those parses can be very short. My max off-Avatar Cek was 73 and best off-avatar silver whip/claw was 67. I haven’t had the chance to parse as much on Vindi after moving the toon to ST for the last year or two.

In HoT the BoF/Swiftwind is a consistent performer. The Cek can rival monk figures with luck so definitely has a larger spread.

I’m guessing the final tests will confirm what we all expect will happen. DW has gone unpatched while 2h has seen at least a couple damage table updates. I’m of the belief that even classic 2h’s from Kunark have purpose. Hopefully if anything, one can squint at the other classes using some of this info. There are warriors with bagged Twisted Steel swords who equip blue blades to DPS…

i always thought rip said aary was the best

I’ll have to revisit Shady Swashbuckler. It’s a 7 min respawn and always level 45. Can snare by the zone to North Ro and log a ton of dps. I recall it has some very weird AC mechanic that guts your damage output.

Our Guild get a lot of Vindi kills, so this is about 6 months of Vindi kills. I got my BoF about the same time as my Cek, but mostly used my Cek. On all of these parses I had a primal proc at one point or another. I had 50 Vindi kills using my Cek sword and
15 using my BoF/Sw. Overall, the dps with my Cek was 70.9 and the dps with my BoF/SW was 70.8.

Yeah that also lines up with my calculator. Average DPS between the two weapon sets is quite close.

It's a good argument, and honestly Liteninghoof is probably my fave personality on red. No one else even tries to have fun.
