My calculations were all wrong in the previous post, disregard it. Thanks to Roran for pointing this out to me and helping with them.
Sample of data from the Beastlord in 2004 using the Moss Covered Twig in offhand is still the same. Beastlords do not get the skill double attack. They only get a chance to with the AA Bestial Fury. With Bestial Fury 5 their chance to double attack is 20%. Omens of War did not come out until September 4, 2004. This expansion raised the level cap to 70. This parse was done on or before February 18, 2004. So in fact his level was 65 and his Dual Wield skill capped at 245. I'll raise the percentage I'm assuming Ambidexterity adds to 10%.
(DW skill + Level / 500) + 10% = Dual Wield chance
(245 + 65 / 500) + 8% = 72%
Double attack chance = 20%
Offhand Calculations
249 swings in 140 seconds
249 / 1.20 = 207.5 Number of swings WITHOUT double attack
207.5 / .72 = 288.194 Swings factoring in the times DUAL WIELD DID NOT FIRE
288.194 * .48578 = 139.99
In effect the delay on the Moss Covered Twig was 4.8578
Imagine he had the Moss Covered Twig in the main hand.
Main Hand Calculations
249 swings in 140 seconds
249 / 1.20 = 207.5 Number of swings WITHOUT double attack
207.5 * .67469 = 139.999
His delay would have been 6.7469
I am going to attempt to show you guys just how accurate this parse is. Here is a log from Project 1999. Level 54 Monk. 252 Double Attack skill. No haste. Moss Covered Twig in Offhand.
(DW skill + Level) / 400 = Dual Wield chance
(252 + 54) / 400 = .765%
(Double attack skill + Level) / 5 = Double Attack chance
(225 + 54) / 500 = .558%
Offhand Calculations
206 swings in 176 seconds
206 / 1.558 = 132.22 Number of swings WITHOUT double attack
132.22 / .765 = 172.8366 Swings factoring in the times DUAL WIELD DID NOT FIRE
172.8366 * .9820 = 175.999
We know the delay on the Moss Covered Twig is 10. Using my calculations the delay on the MCT comes out to 9.82. That is off by TWO hundredths of a second. I guess I probably just got lucky though right?
