My DPS now is 100k without any buff, Should I use LL?

any1 playing without weapon master ? just replaced it with Brawler for a test (sitting at 40.5% crit without weapon master) tried with a sword mainhand and result wasnt that bad. Need an input from some1 playing without WM - how much crit, which passive u get instead of it, etc. Im looking to blow some money on a new mainhand with high dps and was wondering if i get a sword or a mighty weap.

i think yes XD
maybe keep a ring or amu with a few loh...



if you reach to menage your crit change (that means reach to keep your fury full) you can change WM ofc... but i haven't feedback about it

well, let "cc" denote the crit chance with weapons mastery and a mace or axe and "cd" the percentage by which the critical hit damage is increased overall (including the base 50%), then we have

overall dam = weapon dam * [cc*(1+cd) + (1-cc)*1] = weapon dam * [1 + cc*cd].






now we consider brawler: let "bc" denote the chance that enough enemies are around you to trigger brawler. one could also say that its the percentage of time of the fights in which it is active.
the damage with brawler instead of weapons mastery then is

overall dam = weapon dam *[1 + (cc-0.1)*cd] * [bc*1.3 + (1-bc)*1] = weapon dam *[1 + (cc-0.1)*cd] * [1 + bc*0.3].


hence, brawler is better than weapon mastery (in terms of dps) as long as

[1 + (cc-0.1)*cd] * [1 + bc*0.3] = 1 + (cc-0.1)*cd + bc*0.3 + (cc-0.1)*cd*bc*0.3 > 1 + cc*cd.




this equation obviously depends on the quantity bc, ie the percentage of time where brawler is active.
two things one should keep in mind though:
- cc helps with fury
- for a ww barb, the most difficult fights are typically those where you fight ranged elites that are by themselves, so that brawler is not active. it is usually these fights where you want the most dps possible, not the fights against large, dense packs of monsters - ww barbs excel at those anyway.
therefore, i personally dont think brawler is a good choice, even if it would mathematically yield higher average dps.

offhand question:

210 dps dagger 1,5 speed, 90% crit + socket, 560 loh + 140 int

or

400 dps axe, 1,3 speed, 65& crit + socket, 560 loh, 50str+50vit

ty

i would have to say dagger as it has a little more as and crit

ok thx! i thought so! u think 2mio was a good price?
and for how much igg should i try selling the other thing?

Does the mighty weapon bonus apply to tornado hits?

Yes
