Of those things i actually agree with him more often than not. Other things are more fact based and objective. Many of those things we agree on but some of those things his understanding of basic game mechanics are divorced from reality.

Confront DSMs perception of reality and the thread will explode quickly into a literal storm of shit.

I have a 60 monk with epic and 13/21 SoM. It used to be as good at dps as Tstaff (Tstaff still better for general purpose use. After the 2h patch Tstaff took off like a rocket and I stopped punching things. I later sold Tstaff for 38/40 IFS (funds needed elsewhere) and IFS still wins. IFS performs shockingly well even on raid targets.

I am not sure what perception you think you are confronting. I've said in this thread repeatedly that 2h weapons can out damage 1h weapons.

The only person who goes crazy is yourself when your perceptions are challenged. I showed Epic + SoS beat IFS without fistweaving at 52, and you are simply in denial about it. The storm of shit was from yourseld trying to constantly deny my data for no rational reason.

I am simply disproving the over-generalization about 2h weapons vs 1h weapons. OP is level 16, and does care about how weapons work at lower levels.
