I used big numbers specifically to give a bigger buffer, to tolerate a bigger margin of error. I also mentioned that in reality the numbers are even lower, which gives even less reason to use 5/5 AF3+2. Even 4/5 is overdoing it, the set I posted above is quite possibly the best THF melee set in the game. It's the reason why Tiercel Necklace skyrocketed in price, 'cause demand is higher than ever and you can't really obtain it anymore. And WS damage would be done in a different set anyway, since you can disregard Haste and Dual Wield completely for it, so only the melee part is relevant to look at and that was the only part I was considering for the total damage comparison. I tried to keep it as objective as possible, but that doesn't extend to WS, since they depend on the circumstances for the most part. My melee/WS ratio can range anywhere from 1 to infinity.

Also, this isn't really a Nusku's Sash discussion either, we did get quite off-topic with this.. which is why I used size 1 font to say that full AF3+2 isn't really the best melee set. I wouldn't mind discussing this more though, in it's seperate thread.
