Warrior Relic Weapon Issue With Stats

I was assuming old theorized gains for skill speed were correct; the current accepted gain is 10.5 to 0.01 sec, no? Hmm, this makes things interesting...

I'd say you still get more bang for buck sticking with Parry, cause I don't see the possibility of 100% even with back to back optimal infuriate usage, you have around 40% IB buff time, cutting it down to 2.0 per GCD would mean a 20% increase which would put you at 48% uptime.

Also tested with my Japanese folks that indeed Allagan Battleaxe swings faster though they deal less damage per swing but more frequent compared to Bravura +1. However, skill usage yields the same DMG range. Over the long course of Auto attacking only, Allagan Battleaxe beat Bravura +1 even more so if your STR is higher. (STR seems to be somewhat of a linear damage increase for auto attacks, meaning faster swing speed benefit more, 21 STR seem to give my Paladin and Warrior 10-12 DMG increase per swing)

Just tested with my Curtana +0 and Bravura +0 same STR same DTR. Both average out for the same amount of damage. 34.02/2.32*3.44 = 50.44 Auto Attack same like the Bravura. Hence, Allagan Battleaxe has 2.3% more potent auto attacks than Bravura +1. Whereas for Allagan Blade vs Curtana +1 it is a whopping 7.4% more potent auto attacks 11.1% if you are in Sword Oath.

That why Sword Oath is more potent than Shield Oath for generating threat cause Auto swings are 87.5% more potent/enmity whereas the Shield Oath Enmity only makes inherit enmity increase skill to generate slightly more enmity. But as far as weapon swing enmity Sword Oath wins flat out. My days of Twintania is proof enough that I need around 4 Combo to get from 4th placing in threat level after Scourges to 2nd placing whereas in Shield Oath I needed around 6-7 Combos to get to 2nd placing in threat.

What was your testing methodology and/or your sample size? If you're talking about DPS, a result of 3% variance could well be due to RNG with a sample size of 1000 or less.
