Parse it. The game does not run on feelings.

I would love to, how do you parse stuff in this game? Any recommended tools?

Gamparse works well and easy setup

IIRC Rip uses https://wiki.project1999.com/Meljeldin,_Bane_of_Giants which is supposed to be the best parsing weapon for rangers in this era.

FWIW - The de facto casual setup is Swiftblade of Zek mainhand and Swiftwind offhand. Going to be hard pressed to find a tradeable 2hander that parses better than those two together (AT LEVEL 60).

So a lot of this depends on what haste you are using, what haste spell you have available, and what weapons are available to you.

Ripqozko has pretty great gear and a lot of experience, so his setup is definitely something to aspire to.

thats correct i use meljeldin primarly, if high ac then i swap to my 1h setup with is kflame +swiftwind (attack too hard to replace from epic)

Even if they were equal, you're taking less damage which means moar merbs per hour.

Eh, does it? My ranger's 25 self DS adds up quick with 1h.

I personally think there are intrinsic benefits to 2h over 1h like you mentioned. NPC DS’s literally will kill you. Enrage flips are spicy. Your ripostes are bigger. I don’t personally buy tanking ripostes (incoming to the player) are as big of a deal but it’s pretty difficult to parse out that damage from the rest. When I tank VSR on my paladin or ranger I don’t attack, warriors often use a 2h but that’s a different story with a 1500 life tap to minimize.

DW has some perks, I guess. More proc options, easier to swap in a tash stick without doing single digit dps. More MOK healing. Better stats for pullers. It’s often the high brow option and it’s quite a bit more exciting. The Italian v12 at 8000rpms vs the domestic larger v8. Power is power but the experience is different. It’s just a matter of not turning a blind eye to numbers.
