Claw of Lightning vs Swiftwind or Ragebringer

so the tl;dr of that is that claw of lightning is the best non-proc offhand and that it's only very slightly beaten by proc weapons that parsed with 100% hit rate (extremely unlikely)

I think that is fair. You cant really go wrong with these ntov weapons. Even Vyemm club would probably do okay.

Thats what jolt and evade are for! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Or maybe weaponshield...

You start adding jolts to your melee and your dps will plummet. Salindrite is not a good dps weapon.

Rangers are not a good dps class. Just buy some clickies and weaponshield or log your rogue / monk.

Off topic. Skew: I can't reply to your PM.
Skew has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space.

Clear your damn messages.

Youre an accomplished ranger and im a defective rogue. By the numbers though im right [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Can confirm Skew is a defective rogue. Took him years to learn how to cast SoW.

[diamondfist]

wish he did BoF and Salindrite offhand, curious the dps difference between the two setups.

[Cecily]

Yeah, I can't see a reason for Sal main.

[Mistle]

Hey I can still do more!

BoF + Sal D: 152869 damage, 72.8 dps, 87 proc hits, 7 resists (all Thunder Strike)
KF + Tolans: 136533 damage, 65.0 dps, 48 proc hits
Dragonrib + SW: 138280 damage, 65.8 dps

The reasoning behind Sal D in primary is because mainhand procs twice as much as offhand and a good chunk of Salindrite dagger dps comes from its proc (IF it is on a mob where it can consistently land). Also, there is a minimum delay possible with weapons. I'm not sure what the cutoff actually is (and it may be different on p99 vs this dev server), but if 18 delay with VoG + 41% haste hits it, then there is no difference in dps between 17 and 18 delay when under those haste conditions.

On Takp Dragonrib has the 1 Fire damage bonus.

and for fun...

AHB + CoV: 157754 damage, 75.1 dps, 71 proc hits, 0 resists

I actually had expected it to be significantly higher, but thinking about it, its not really THAT much better ratio than BoF, and it is slower. So it SHOULD only be a little higher.

BBB: 154171 damage, 73.4 dps

God Rune procced a lot though. Such a fun sword, but surprisingly not really better dps. How about old school?

Yak + Yak: 77373 damage, 36.8 dps, 75 proc hits, 15 resists

One last one...

BFG + BoF: 429840 damage, 204.7 dps, 50 proc hits, 0 resists (lol wtf)

BFG never existed on the new takp (plank does not spawn) so I don't think it has ever been tested on this dev server. It is definitely something to see. The delay was insanely low.
