Plus you might root Statue and kill a stupid rogue or monk which is a level of joy no parse can give you.

Can statue actually be rooted? I just tend to assume raid mobs can't be, but I haven't tested them all.

I wonder what Statue's poison resists look like, that might be a good candidate for Rogue slow prior to shaman slow landing.

Ya statue is easy to root, it just doesn't last long. Back when wars used root nets, I kept him rooted for a tick with a net lol

Yes half the fun of statue is killing the melee that can't max melee. Bless root weapons.

The poison proc from Dragonspine Rapier lands on Statue fwiw

Statue is marked as unslowable which means trident doesn't land either. This is different from MR immune which is the usual case here.

Oops I meant aow.

Cool. If they ever fix rogue slow poison to 95% snare instead of root, that might actually be good to get it 50% slowed at the start of the fight. It probably breaks root too often though with it doing root instead though.

Do weapons proc at different rates? Could that be a factor to consider?

Also, is the difference in DPS strictly the % difference in dmg/delay ratio?

Not at this point in the game.
The ratio on the Tuna is notably better as is the root proc DD vs Strike of the Chosen (about half the DD but a tap). As if it it really matters? Meh. Most parses are subject to scatter due to duration. If we had 30 min fights it would be easier to notice in practice.

Anyone with a Vulaxe can get a Tuna sword. The opposite can’t always be said.

Unresistable spells are surprisingly effective here.
