Spent a bit of time comparing the best DW weapons I could acquire to the woodsman staff in the low 20s on my ranger.
12/21 + 12/22 for the DW (exquisite sword + barbed spear)
I based it on how long, on average, it took me to kill the mobs I was grinding on. They have ~450hp each. Parsing with gamparse and had it set to ignore pulls so the combat time would be pretty close.
Woodsman staff average over 50 mobs: 25 seconds
DW average over 50 mobs: 32 seconds
I imagine that gap would close a bit once at 29+ when double attack hits 150 and offhand begins double attacking. For the time being I went ahead and sold the 1hers... not worth all that plat tied up in inferior weapons.
