    Does anyone know the dps difference between both body pieces. At first I thought the time body was BiS because of how good direct hit is and the buff to determination but I'm seeing the savage body being BiS.

    The first time will be an accident and nearly everyone who survives it will hold a grudge against you for the rest of your life. Also the Deactivated Ultimate B-Ball mount will drop and you will roll 99. Riding a bouncing Allagan orange into the sunset, you casually remark once again that you are not a role model, despite any indications to the contrary.

    1) There is a lot of misinformation out there concerning the relative merits of DH vs. CH. This is not my first rodeo, though, so I waited to see what the choices were before drawing any conclusions. Even though I'm basically looking at the same formulas as anyone else....

    2) The BiS is just a guess. But I am a good guesser, if I do say so myself. Unfortunately, recent investigations show that I do actually have to do the thing I didn't want to have to, which is to write a computer program to find the real one via exhaustive search.

    3) Specific gear pieces don't actually do more or less damage; the difference is only accurate in context of the rest of the set. Plus, with accuracy requirements removed and TP relaxed greatly, there aren't even those few pieces that are nigh on unusable like there used to be.

    Secondaries matter so little that the difference between that BiS guess and going all Lost Allagan + Genji spear + Genji ring is about 0.6%. Just the weapon and one of the rings is the discernible difference between a raider's and a non-raider's potential DPS, once upgrade items start being available outside raids (happens in odd-numbered patches).
