keep swarmcaller around its fantastic for weird duos / trios
Absolutely. Right around when I first got my swarmcaller and was in CoM, I was in a group that I think was something like a rogue, an SK, and me. Think we had potg/c2 but no in-group healer. I would pull, swing till I procced a slow, then back off and heal the SK until it was time to pull the next one. I really love making a weird pug work.

I wouldn't over think droppable upgrades too much. I would just grind it out til raid loot. That's where all the fun upgrades are.
I think this is what I was really asking. I knew a woody was the best leveling weapon, but now that I'm in the 50s and raiding Kael and the planes is there a better setup? Seems like all the responses confirm my sense that no, until the nice raid loot the woody's gonna be Good Enough.

Herbalist's spade is better than woodsman if you don't mind the root proc. Not by a huge marging so it depends on your budget. Argent protector is kinda nice with the 49dly for bowing if you're so inclined. Decent stats too. Not much worse than woodsman.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking. Out of those three I like the woody for roleplaying/aesthetic reasons, and I didn't think I was giving up enough DPS to regret that choice. I had a worn shai`din naginata before getting the woody, but eventually sold it because I figured the 41 delay on the swarmcaller was good enough for archery and it was nice not to have yet one more weapon in my bags.

The Rev whip is fun but in my experience wasn’t quite as good as a 10/18. I still use my mine on occasion just for fun.
It sure is fun but that's my experience too. Still glad I went to the effort to grab one, though.

At 60 the offhand swings 75% as much as the main hand. I spent half an hour on Bloodmaw parsing and that was the only thing I gleaned from it. Low 50’s I’d say 60% swing ratio is probably fairly close, if not 65%.
My parsing across 30 minutes shows a 65% DW success rate.
