I ended up testing an SboZ last night from a guildy and I definitely took alot more damage due to the riposte's compared to a Woodsman Staff. I didn't parse the damage but it seemed comparable and not a "large" difference that would beat out the riposte damage I was taking.

If you didn’t parse, how can you be certain of either the significance of the differences in riposte damage taken or the significance of damage output?
Clearly it is common sense that you take more damage with the DW combination but to what extent does it make a meaningful impact? Value it’s a no brainer. It just amuses me when people specifically compare stuff anecdotally when using a parser is so easy.
I duo’d with a monk the other day who ‘felt’ his dual wield combo beat out his IFS. We parsed a good 20 fights with each setup and his IFS was putting out close to 40-50% more damage on average. His worst IFS run was barely lower than his best dual wield run.
