Aww come on Agra, 'ludicrous'? :p OK, bear with me:Anyone can verify that with 510 STR, a brigand will hit 2.8333 times harder than the listed damage of a weapon. Not talking about the damage rating, but the damage that is listed.Ok, so we have a brigand using the 2H Wurmslayer together with 4-4-4-8 WIS and 4-4-4-8 STR.The Wurmslayers listed damage is 78-235, with a delay of 3.0 seconds. That is ((78 + 235) x 2.833) / (2 x 3.0) DPS, without any modifiers at all. Do the math and you get 148 DPS.Now add the doubleattacks. This gives you 1.72 x 148 = 254 DPS.Now, add 100% haste and 100% DPS buffs. This equals four times the original damage, 4 x 254 = 1016 DPS.Then whack loose on a fully debuffed mob. 50% damage increase gives 1.5 x 1016 = 1524 DPS.I'm not gonna go into criticals as my method for calculating that could be a bit controversial (see Rokjin's post about how criticals work), but I guess everyone can agree they will only raise the DPS even higher.Of course, this math may be flawed, and I trust I'll be corrected if it is.
