<DIV>What is better for zerkers considering our haste:</DIV> <DIV>two fast weapons with lower damage and a proc</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>or</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>two slower weapons with a higher damage and a proc</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>ie, 2 slime coated maces Vs 2 slime coated harpoons.  Harpoons work out to be very slightly more dps, but with a much longer delay so the proc isn't as often.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also, what would be better out of two Slayer rings of Sta or two Slayer rings of Agi..?</DIV>

Yesterday i was testing out 2 Pristine Forged Fulginate Cresent Axes for dps vs a Heriophant Crook.... from my observation, i was getting better proc from bloodrage with 2H, ( kinda confused since it gives a 33% chance to proc upon a successful attack so you would think DW is better since you have more chances to land an attack for bloodrage but it isnt ) i can self haste my self 15+2+9+47 = 83% haste ( from FBSS , Ancient Ring , Screaming Fury and ToWar) DW imo is great till you get ToWar then after that 2H all the wayStrykr Destructicus44 Berserker

Proc rate is based on Delay ( and I assume dual wield has an additional penalty to compensate for two weapons swinging). Thus a really slow weapon such as a bow will proc more often in terms of like 1 in 3 hits vs 1 in 10 with a twohander or 1 in 30 with dualwield. Overall one hopes they proc at the same rate overtime.
