I'm very inclined to keep the elite damage bonus considering the ridiculous amount of HP on guardians near 50. So wondering whether to reroll bonus damage, attack speed or elite bonus to 10% damage.
rerolling bonus damage - best possible outcome is 4236 dps with 3633 damage per hit (obviously rolling this is extremely unlikely)
rerolling attack speed to 10% damage - 4031 dps with 3664 damage per hit
rerolling elite bonus to 10% damage - 4273 dps with 3664 damage per hit
so a big question here is is it worth keeping attack speed on the weapon?
I'm a nub and I'm not sure whether WW, rend and scale with DPS or damage per hit?
Please post your thoughts. To make things fun I've added a poll, let's see what the popular opinion is.
WW and your dust devil generation from the wastes set is dependent on attack speed. There are certain breakpoints which will increase the number of dust devil tornadoes you spawn based on your attacks per second.
Honestly, I had a similar issue with my ancient IK weapon and after comparing the two the attack speed wasn't really all that valuable. The damage was much more important to me. So, I'd reroll the attack speed to %damage and maybe see if you can make up that lost attack speed somewhere else (ring or gloves for example). That said, I'd definitely try and find one with a better damage roll if you can. That seems awfully low.
Also, hold control when you screenshot, makes it easier to get all the information about the weapon.
hi boxsalesman, thx for the reply mate. appreciate the help very much.
Right now I have 22% bonus against elites coming from this weapon and my Unity.
For Breakpoints I looked at the breakpoint calculator linked on the reddit page. So the weapon has 1.17 attacks per second listed. From gear I have 6.8% attack speed increase (6.8+25 from bezerker = 31.8). So I input the info like this, hope it's correct.
which gives me this result.
If i switch to a weapon with 1.1 attacks per second, it looks like I move to a lower bracket in the whirlwind ticks breakpoint.
However, if I roll away the attack speed on the weapon, i can switch to a neck with 7% attack speed to go back to the higher bracket. that might be a bigger dps loss tho, I'd be trading the 8.5% crit on my current neck to get 7% attack speed. This was the result for a 1.1 speed weapon with an extra 7% attack speed increase from gear.
Greetings wise Barbarians,

3884.5 dps

cheers Taiyri, with the pain enhancer speed bonus, attack speed can be a bit all over for everything other than the boss i guess.
Did you adjust with just 1 mob to count the rift guardian?
