Question on AA: Agi vs Wis

[Laereneth]

<p>At what point does the 1H route of Wis match or exceed the dps of DW with Agi?  Is it a certain dps number on your 1H?  Or is it with the synergy of certain group buffs on a raid?</p><p>I do predominantly level 70 grouping and raiding.  I'm trying to mamimize my dps for those situations.  Currently I'm running the str/agi lines.  Would something be better for grouping and raiding?</p><p>Thanks for your feedback!</p>

<p>I've been trying to track this down too.  Leaving out major variables like raid group configuration, timing CA's and criticals, just looking at delay and base weapon dps, if possible, for starters, what is the break even point?  I've read that now you need a 1-hander of greater than an 80 rating to make Str/Wis viable.  I think that the proper statment is "it depends what you can get your hands on", as guidance for making the Agi/Wis determination.  Concerning base dps analysis, I've been thinking:</p><p>Wisdom Line:  Weapon 1:  100(damage-low), 300(damage-high)  1.6 (delay),  70(damage rating),  125 (calculated damage = (low+high)/2/delay),  210 (final damage with double atack (Unencumbrance & Freehand reversal = 68%).  ***Beneficial effect of Lunge Reversal not taken into account, but it's weapon independent.</p><p>Duel Wield:  2x Weapon 1:  Same as above for damage-low and -high and delay.  Calculated damage is 250.  Final damage (calculated damage/1.33 due to duel-weild penalty) is 188.   ***None of the benefits of the Agi line included - see next below.</p><p>Bottom Line: Wis = 210 dps;  Duel wield = 188 dps </p><p>Qustions:  When does "Walk the Plank", "Commandeer",  "Avast Ye", and "Sailwind" overcome the duel wield pentalty and boost from Lunge Reversal?   Do you need duel-wield with some percentage combined damage/2  greater than 1-hand damage to make Agility the best AA option?</p>

DW has been outparsing 1H line for a while now.  Stick with DW.  Too many rogues currently are just following the crowd and going 1H without looking at WHY they should go 1H.   There are only a few high end weapons in game right now that make 1H a viable option anyways.
