No one here has come even a tiny bit close to addressing his question.

His question is very specific, why completely ignore it?

Not really. We don't know what type/era/under-overcon of mobs, or the STR of the shaman (many are capped but not all, at least not until FOS+STR)

I don't parse my shaman DPS, (I don't parse DPS at all, actually) but with that said, a (small) log of melee hits against some 25-34 war mobs was the closest I could come to an answer. OP seems capable of calculating DPS so it's a simple matter of extrapolation and knowing your own swing speed to get to a (somewhat inaccurate) answer. I left logs instead of doing potato math so the OP can get an idea for how useful the weapon might be for themselves.

Currently level 49 with JBB, 5/55 rings, and banded. I'm going to push 52 then start farming money for an epic MQ. Assume I'm 52 buffed with self haste with a GFG what kinda DPS could I be expecting meleeing greenies around level 24-32? JBB is ~30 sustained by itself spamming root in between... is it even worth going out of my way to buy a GFG now?

The dps is going to depend on a million things so I'll just leave a sample log
255 Str+GFG@L60 VS Sgt Slate (LV41)

255 Str+GFG@L60 VS MM Gargs (Leering34, Flouting33, Jeering28, Sneering25)

Um, ok. Most of our arguments still hold up.

A green at lvl 52 can still crack you for over 100. They have 2-3k hps and your melee dps is still piss.

Unless you are killing greens in like Runnyeye at 52 in which case your pet is doubling or tripling your melee dps. Your bracer alone is blowing you and the pet’s white damage away.

If talking sustainable mana-free damage its a matter of root/pet JBB blasting or meleeing with the wolf. I suspect unless you are quite geared (ntov haste and 2h) you won’t see near 30dps as a melee sham. Never been one tho [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Note: The OP can use any run of the mill 2h and estimate on ratio difference between that one and the GFG.
