Auto-attack accounts for roughly 25-35% of melee DPS (check theorcycrafter and parser forum posts around the time of 2.0 release and 2.1 release).

What makes anyone think Sword Oath is a DPS increase? First of all, its an out-right 20% increase in dps from Shield Oath, which it says explicitly in the tool tip. Second, it adds an extra, less powerful auto attack, which also makes a contribution.

lol at your assumptions and claims, sir. Ask anyone with a parser to parse you on any fight with shield oath versus any fight with sword oath, and ANY ATTACK you land will be 20% MORE EFFECTIVE. It is just a straight up DPS increase of 20%, plus the extra auto attacks. How are you arguing anything else?

Protip: Spam your next attack with auto-face target on with legacy movement, you will always be facing your target while moving and it won't change the direction you are going.


The rate at which a WHM would run out of MP by spamming holy is way quicker than the rate at which a PLD would run out of TP doing the Halone Combo. by the by.
