Get the highest dmg 2h'er, then weave spells with single melee in between

Icewurm fang sucks for slow/melee/face tank leveling compared to the other options. I guess it would be good pre- level 20 with the damage caps but for 20 through 45-50ish you'd be better off with a Poison Wind Censer/GFG/Brawl Stick. 50+ when you don't really melee anymore Icewurm Fang might be decent again so you can have the stats from it + shield.

My own unscientific finds at 60-

Jbb spam > any sustained melee > brawl stick > gfg > iwf

Brawl stick even gets extra points for higher dmg weaving through spells.

I actually think shaman melee damage with GFG will be identical to Exq Brawl Stick due to dmg cap. See link to other thread on this: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=291394

With damage cap set at shaman at 52, that essentially makes Brawl Stick a 26/36 weapon, which coincidentally also makes GFG 26/36 as well. Both with a .722222 dmg ratio. Both with same delay for casting between swing efficiency. Both better (dmg wise) than REIF ratio of .632. GFG is probably better actually, since it has some stats and costs 1/3 of Exq. Brawl Stick. Both able to PWN https://wiki.project1999.com/Master_Whoopal with maximum efficiency. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Of note, PWC has nearly as good of a ratio (.714) as GFG and costs even less (600p vs 2500p). Faster though, so might be slightly harder to cast between swings.

I'm doing some testing today with my epic and brawl stick.

255 str, level 60, 990atk

Highest I got was 83 so far with my epic.
Highest I got was 134 so far with the brawl stick.

I hit 134 a few times so that might be where I'm capped. I don't have a GFG to work with atm.
