That's a 228 damage gap based purely on delay. Now call me crazy, but that's not much. Factor in the higher POTENTIAL hits from a 15 dmg weapon on regular melee attacks and backstabs and it's pretty easy to see that RB is the superior weapon, most of the time.

TS is a tanking and solo weapon. Every Velious parse I've seen with TS main hand has been disastrous.
Every time a RB hits for 70, a TS is hitting almost twice for 50. Unless you're hitting in the upper half of your damage table 50% of the time or more, TS is going to outdamage in the long run.

The 3 damage on a RB doesn't make as much as a hit difference as you would think.

Max hit formula is:
((Offense+STR)/100)*WeaponDamage+DamageBonus+1=Maxhit.
So, a 60 Rogue with 255 STR:
(252+255)/100=5.07.
5.07*X+12=MaxHit. Replace X with weapon damage.

Rage should hit for 88 max. Thorn hits for 72.84 which may or may not round.
