November 22nd update:
- corrected a tiny error in the calculation of crit rates that had snuck in during the recent major changes (crit rates were 0.5% too low)
- added more OoW weapons.

THIS IS MY LAST UPDATE!

I repeat my call for someone to take over maintenance of the spreadsheet. Send me a pm or an email if you're interested.

/hugs

Thanks Coprolith, your efforts were appreciated by me and many of our fellow beastlords.

hmm you sure this is correct according to the stuff ive enteredmy battle fists and savage plat fists are only a few dps less than the best 2hb weapon in the game ... just wondering if this was correct?

[Coprolith]

Yeah it is. For weapons of equal quality 2HB will be doing 10-15% less dps then a dw combo.
2HB is best used when you're tanking mobs that hit so hard that damage spikes from ripostes would be a problem when dw'ing. But the new OoW AA that reduces ripostes from the OH negates that problem as well.

Even with the sickeningly mean damage ratio of a massive 2 hander, it's hard to overcome the power of dual weild.  I'm sure when comparable 1hander weapons come out, you wouldn't be able to even come close with the best 2 hander in game.  A monk might, but we never ever will without an even more obscene ratio weapon.

That's not to say that I wouldn't love to have that massive 2 hander, if nothing else but to say it was mine and see the great big hits from it.

Very nice weapon, and awesome work on the DPS calculator Copro.   You rock, and make my head hurt from all those formula's.  I love Excel and thought I was a formula guru, I felt like a 3rd grader looking at your formula's.   Thanks man.

This is Quite Nifty! nice job!

Oh and crystalline spider fang sin't on there either
