Main Hand Weapon Effectiveness at 60:

Lamentation: ((9*2) + 11) / 21 = 1.38


What's really interesting is how good Jade Maces are. IMO, spend 1k on a mace and get that HS dagger when you can. Then start saving plat.

FWIW Lamentation is 19 delay, not 21. But it is crazy that Jade Mace is so much better. Just goes to show that the 1 delay difference really is large in the primary.

Downside is Jade Mace is a Fashionquest fail for a Ranger.

Oh thank you for catching that. Lamentation = 1.53

Whats best. 2 lammys or wurmslayer + lammy ?

It depends on the level from the calculations everyone has given.

Wurmslayer - ((25*2)+11)/40=1.525 @ level 60
Lamentation - ((9*2)+11)/19=1.526 @ level 60
Wurmslayer - ((25*2)+4)/40 = 1.350 @ level 40
Lamentation - ((9*2)+4)/19 = 1.157 @ level 40

It looks like lammy is better at level 60 but only slightly. At lower levels however the wurmslayer would be better since the damage bonus isn't as high. The bonus damage might be a little off as I wasn't sure at what level you start getting 11 bonus damage but assuming at level 60 you get it, the calculations should be accurate.

Ok that close enough for me to choose any of them. Are there any 1h weapons that looks just like wurmslayer that can be used in off hand for fashion?

[darkreap]

None that I am aware of...

It might be worth taking this formula with a pinch of salt. I've never seen any testing to show its validity, and it is obviously very simplified. For example, it doesn't take account of wielder/targets stats like atk and ac.

All the formula does is compare weapons on the assumption that DMG is worth twice as much as Damage Bonus for equivalent delay.

Now, if this formula is true at max stats/skills and for all classes (it won't always be true, but lets pretend it is) then when your character does not meet these conditions (say you only have 167 str, not 255) then you will want to reduce the weight of DMG and focus more on damage bonus (which basically means using lower delay weapons).


On my own ranger I went for a Wurmslayer (it is an iconic weapon, the large delay means it is easier to cast between swings, I get riposted less and do bigger ripostes myself).
