I'm not too melee savvy though, so I don't know if there is more to consider. Seems like the 3 more delay on the IFS won't make a big difference for the damage bonus though.

Actually, you want percent change.

New Value - Old Value
---------------------
Old Value

Here's the data:
Staff of Battle: 31/37 = .838 ratio
Staff of Battle w/ FBSS: 31/31 = 1 Ratio
Imbued Fighters Staff: 38/40 = .95 ratio

**Calculation for delay reduction for FBSS:
FBSS Haste: 21% = .21
New Staff of Battle Delay = 37 * (1 / (1 + 0.21)) = 30.57.
I don't know if delay is rounded up or floored. I assumed the worst case above.

Upgrade to Imbued Fighters Staff:
.95 - .838
---------- = 13.36% increase in DPS
.838

Upgrade to FBSS:
1 - .838
---------- = 19.33% increase in DPS
.838

However, this is disregarding STR and AC bonus from TBB. I'm not sure how to factor in these benefits into a comparable form.
