Number #1 DEEPS 2 Hander

[tycohunden]

With the changes a few years back to hit rate of 2handers above 30 atk it's clear that some weapons outshine others when it comes to pure DPS.

It's clear that the Abashi rod's ratio of 40/30 simply can't be beat and that atk delay is far more important than high max dmg and that the atk delay max dmg bonus is negliable except for on crazy items like A Weighted Axe.

I think that the number one DPS weapon for tanks is this beaty:

What are your thoughts?!

you cant say exactly (due to variable other stats like level, attack rating, target ac, worn haste, spell haste, skill levels, random number generators) but you can make a damage calculator with some assumptions based on how damage is calculated to compare weapons. i did that and found palladius axe of slaughter was the best (114). second was gaudralek sword of sky (111), and i think the next few were meljeldin (110), twisted steel bastard (110), and shovel of harvest (108). by comparison the jagged blade of war (90). again, this is not actual DPS but closer to "unmitigated potential damage per second with a selected weapon from a 60 warrior with max stats, skills, and haste".

Tuna swords can out dmg Mejeldin~
A pally friend has tuna, i'm ranger with mejeldin i always compare dps with him on parse
no matter in raid with raid buff or in group of 2, higher than 50% chance he out dmg me

1. tuna > mejeldin
2. ranger best 2hs < knights best (probably) 2hs
3. sad ranger need to get some Primal Velium Weapons

i also pretty much only use mejeldin on my ranger, does much better then anything else. knights get the luxury of tuna and vulak tho.
