Okay the fact you aren't doing non-weapon to primary, 2hs to 1hs (bagged), 1hs to secondary, 1hs to 2hs (bagged), 2hs to primary as your cycle ...
You're confused about something. There's no need to have a lightstone, you just press a button to swing the offhand once after equipping it, there shouldn't be a risk of auto attack eating that next primary swing.

Does it add so much time? Having a lightstone on your cursor when you unequip the 2hs doesn’t seem a big deal?
I suppose it doesn't take more clicks itself to include the lightstone in the rotation. Hadn't used that before, but now I see what you mean. However, there might be more lag, clicking an item into already equipped primary slot, instead of just putting the 2-hander in. Would need to test that.

Oh I understand the mechanic. Meljeldin haste capped is 19 delay or just under 2 seconds to complete the cycle. So you're trading MH ratio for a free offhand swing if you execute w/o robotic flawlessness.
Hello, reading comprehension? I already said people probably shouldn't be doing this with a haste capped Meljeldin (unless using macro). It should be 42+ delay weapon used, unless having less haste. And no, you clearly didn't understand the mechanic with what you wrote before.

if anyone cared that much to sit there stationary and hit 2 buttons they would just be on a rogue.
What a silly fallacy. Warriors and Rangers want to maximize their DPS, it has nothing to do with being a Rogue. Even besides that, EQ melee combat without weapon swapping generally just equates to standing around and doing almost no actual actions/movement anyway.
