Folded Scale Blade has a high damage rating, which doesn't mean anything. The high end damage is horrible, and Swashbucklers really should not be after 2.5 delay weapons. It also has no proc.



As opposed to the Axe of Natural Order. I believe it to be the best one hander a Swashbuckler can use. Despite not having a proc, with the proper crit and haste gear, this weapon can put out some sick DPS.

Yes I know exactly what it is, I was just asking why you didn't like the weapon. We're working on killing Mayong at the moment and there is no way that we'll get to the 3rd floor of EH before RoK comes out so my experience with these high end weapons is very limited.

I was doing some quick testing just autoattacking mobs on the test server and averaging out parses over multiple fights and found that weapons of 4.0 dly would parse higher with ruthless and finesse up even with weapons with worse ratings.

I was mainly testing combo's that I might possibly attain, which at the moment I'm using GDoH and Dirk of Negativity. If I can get a group to pop into MMC I can get the legendary SoD reward which so far I've been parsing higher with than GDoH + CDS. Seeing as how I need to stick with STR for raiding I'd like to keep my dual weild spec but I don't want to gimp myself.

He stole mine! It's a really simple formula.

Really I'd love to see the formula that fleshes out a weapon's base damage =)

It would be great! If you could somehow include a persons str and int (for base damage adjustment and proc damage adjustment) that would be even better ;-)

Or how about one that gauges how much each weapon is affected by a certain amount of haste? On my parses the higher dly weapons tend to shine once you get around 130 haste or so.

Haste is equally applied to every weapon, the only difference is for CA spamming, which has nothing to do with what he was comparing.
