Using a very generous 3.2 (not exactly realistic)
Epic: 2.49
Blam: 2.67
7% better than epic with a ballsy_high 3.2. That just goes to show the critical weakness for this weapon with regards to the monk class. 16 delay is so blisteringly fast enough it compensates quite well for the inferior ratio. If only blam stick were offhand usable

TStaff with 3.2 after the dmg bonus change goes live?
4.06
Blam stick + SoM offhand
Mh + mh(da) + oh(DW) + oh(DaDw)
2.67 + 1.82 + 1.22 + 0.83 = 6.54
TStaff = 4.06 + 2.76 = 6.82 (then add in proc dps)
So if you use a very generous and less than realistic 3.2 the TStaff still wins. If the monk is 60 with triple attack 2hander pulls even further ahead. If you use any variable lower than 3.2, blam stick falls yet further behind (and using 2 it is worse than epic). The higher the mob level and ac, the lower modifier you have to assume.
Blam stick is a good weapon but functionally should perform within spitting distance of epic because it is mainhand only (-2% to +7%). It’s not going to be better than other pre velious options. Don’t forget Wu’s Fist of Mastery at 16/22. Whether using 2 or 3.2 it will beat out the blamo as well and it’s a plane of sky equipment.
