What mob are you using for logging parses? The super noob turtle in velious? Where is it found?

it’s not a single mob, it’s from 2 days of tar goos hunting in WL without changing weapon and basically not cast between fight
if using a single mob, the longest fight is focuser in PoG, but i usually buff during fight and got more dex than usual, i have only 2 logs that i didn’t change weapon and both are less than 800s

I haven’t parsed these weapons, but I did some quick back of the napkin math and at level 60 swarmcaller is going to be very close DPS wise to dual epics (assuming you have decent haste).

There may be a factor of high AC mobs and slow vs fast weapons but I’ve parsed T staff vs monk epic+SoS and t-staff outperforms consistently either against raid mobs or kunark blue/green mobs. Swarmcaller is slower so ymmv (but epic fist is faster so idk)

Long story long Earthcaller is min/max fashionquest while Swarmcaller is pretty comparable utility (similar slow and dps) for a fraction of the price.
