Warriors and Rangers before level 51 can reliably weapon swap with the max haste available. Attempting to argue that clicking 6 times every 3 seconds is unfeasible (not every second, as you tried to strawman) is completely out of line.

See how it goes with the 45 delay Twisted Steel Bastard Sword (already one of the best weapons in game) or the respectable 45/46 Rekeklo's War Sword.

This is also why the 42/49 Argent Protector is by far the most cost efficient thing in the game. Already a great weapon for the very low cost and gives ample time to swap, generating more DPS than not weapon swapping with some other weapons that are considered better.
Unhasted in 1999 and corpse run gear has now shifted to haste caps per level. I don’t care what a level 45 ranger or warrior parses, nor should anyone, but I’ll bite assuming an Argent Protector is the best I can get:

Level Max total haste permitted
1-30 50%
31-50 74%
51-54 84%
55-59 94%
60 100%

Delay of Argent Protector with SCHW only (22%) on a level 45 whatever:
New Delay = Delay / (1+ Haste)
40.16 delay = 49/1.22

With CoF
36.02 = 49/1.36

With CoF and Alacrity
28.16 = 49/1.74

So a swing timer of 2.8-4 seconds to de-equip a 2h, swap in an offhand (can’t hover swap since different slot), swap offhand out to bag or open slot, swap in 2h again.

I’d suggest you start playing again as you believe you have much to lend to the community (albeit little proof) even after long retiring from it.

I parse for me and weigh my contribution constantly, revise and retest when possible. That’s the whole point of parsing, to get better and understand objective data, not brag about results.

I’m done bickering as I’ve already slopped up DSM’s thread more than necessary (sorry DSM).
