Title: Coprolith's Dps Calculator

Does anyone have this by any chance or any other kind of DPS calculator for beastlord?

There are so many variables involved that most folks just use a parsing program to actually see their DPS.  I use GameParse to see my DPS.  If you provide some details on what you want to test/compare I might be able to give a better answer.

I'm trying to compare DPS with a Cursed fang /mithril ulak with a Caen's bo staff from Emperor.

Let me see if I got this right:
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=12498 and http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=8603

versus

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=13244

or 17/19 HTH + 17/20 HTH versus 43/30 2HB

If you already have the weapons you can download a parse program and see what you DPS looks like.  BSTs don't get as much DPS out of a 2HB as monks do.  Monks get AAs to increase the damage of 2HB, which BSTs don't.

Based off my own parsing, here is a simplified formula

MH ratio + .628(OH ratio) = comparible 2HB ratio for equal DPS

17/19 + .628(17/20) = 1.4285

The 2HB = 43/30 = 1.43

Based on the simplified formula the DPS would be a wash.  This simple approach ignores procs, but unless you have an incredible proc differences between the weapons (no procs on the 1Hs and 5K proc on the 2HB) I would feel it is safe to ignore them.
