Casual ranger - velious weaponry?

[Cecily]

First I heard of it being useful to anyone haha. Here you go. Hope it helps.

Ranger Weapon Comparison Spreadsheet

Input your level, DW skill, DA skill, weapon damage, weapon delay, and haste (as a decimal ie .36 for CoF's 36%). Make sure you use the appropriate column for your 2 hander's delay to make sure you get the proper dmg bonus calc.

What this will do is spit out a dual weapon setup DPS rating and you can see how it compares to a 2 hander at a given level of haste etc. Was helpful for me. 9/17 dagger from HS + Swiftwind is the best DPS setup for Kunark. Woodsman is very VERY good however.

Could someone verify how true this is?

A pure ratio comparison suggests that Earthcaller is the best offhand in Kunark. Taking into account the proc damage and the strength (so long as it's not going to waste) puts this rather substantially above the 9/17 dagger, no?

The only weapon even close or maybe better is the Razor Fang of Xygoz according to the wiki.

Ah so maybe it's just misinformation?

I'd agree that the above calculation I used isn't perfect. Realistically, it can't be. Testing on the beta server shows that with 219 strength the swiftwind can hit for in the mid-60's and the earthcaller's highest max hit I've seen is 81, which is way higher than what the wiki's damage calculation suggests. There's something else it's missing.

Would the dev's here disclose the weapon damage calculation?
