Zuranthium, you realise nobody is saying that "extra DPS doesn't matter", but rather that "miniscule increases in damage requiring rapid weapon swaps, good ping and fast mouse clicking permitting, isn't worth the effort"?

You chose the worst game possible to try and reach the skill cap.

it's worse than that. if you miss your main hand swings once because they're replaced by a punch this will LOWER your DPS.

this is just a terrible idea all around.

It's not "miniscule" increases. Stop saying that. It is a very significant increase and it doesn't require good ping or fast mouse clicking if you don't have a lot of haste (which is something that will happen during various periods of a melee's lifetime). Even when it does require that, you're simply talking about personal capability. Whether it's worth the effort or not depends on someone's ability and willingness.

You have a major attitude issue, btw. Nothing you write is constructive and you constantly are making incorrect assumptions.

That never happens if you're doing it properly. It's not even difficult to avoid that.

I don't see how a click macro for this would be punishable either. It's not some kind of AFK bot or client modification or anything like that, and regular macros and things like GINA timers are already being used.

It's already been shown, and anyone can easily do it themself, both the math (https://jklein.me/eqcalc/ - set the offhand weapon speed to whatever your primary is) and a simple test with no haste to get the hang of it.

Noone is agreeing with you, though. More seasoned veterans than I don't concur with this.

Yeah, I do have a major attitude issue when I see arrogant people. Indeed. And you're insulting people for not complying with your ideas on how to play, so isn't it a little hypocritical for you to say I'm not constructive?

Several people have, but that's irrelevant. It's a fact that can not be disagreed with. Correctly using weapon swapping = more DPS.

It's only a question of whether an individual has the ability/willingness to do it (not difficult with a macro, which I still don't see how it would get punished and don't think it should be; highly doubt it would even be detected).

No, YOU have been insulting, writing shit like "just wants to feel superior to others, nothing more to discuss here". I've never said anyone has to play this way or insulted someone for not, stop putting words in my mouth. I've just discussed the mechanic and the DPS increase it brings, whereas you and others have been sticking your heads in the sand about it, clearly because you're mad at the prospect of someone else getting more mileage out of their character if they have better micro gameplay.

Of course he'll say "because you're a baddie" or some such crap, won't he?
