Rapiers vs. Scimitars

[unbongwah]

Is 20% offhand worth not having extended haste? (with 16 levels thats only 1m36s - pretty much equal to GS haste cliky)

If you go Fatesinger (or other arcane ED) you'll have +5 caster lvls, so eventually Haste will last 2m06s.

I can't crunch the DPS math myself, but my hunch is +20% offhand from GTWF is worth more than OC; more so if you go for Shadowdancer ED, since the more offhand procs the more sneak atks you'll make. So if you drop anything, it should be CL/GC/OC, IMHO; beef up your metamagics instead.

GTWF will grant you more DPS than Overwhelming Critical. Even if we only look at base damage...
1.6 * 27 = 43.2
1.8 * 25 = 45
Throw in +20% more magical effects and sneak attack, and it's a done deal.

If you have the room for the rapier damage enhancements, you may as well go rapier. I don't think khopesh makes sense for this build.

Not really sure how you made the math for values 27 with OC and 25 without...

I did some math myself with the following assumptions:
both weapons are +6 and 1d6 base dmg
50 STR = +20dmg for main weapon, +10 dmg for offhand
20 seeker = 10 regular, 4 exceptional, 6 ED
1 is allways miss, crit on rolls 15-20 (allways confirmed)

the raw physical avergae damage per swing (i dont know if they are rounded up/down or whatever so didn't round it):
- 98,82 for OC and 60% offhand
- 101,375 for 80% offhand

The above calculation doesn't include +1[W] on cleave and +2[W] on greater cleave (usual spammage) nor any additional magical damage from weapon.

Dmg/swing is close - but like you said - i have to consider magical dmg and/or sneak attacks also as well as the cleaves spammage

My primary destiny will be Legendary Dreadnot with twists from Fury of the Wild mainly... I have been away for 2 months so i have not yet checked what good there is in Primal Avatar - but i think it's safe to say that LD will remain my destiny of choice

With only 2 rogue levels my sneak attack dmg isn't significant - even with +3 from tier 1 enhancement and items (if get to use any)

1 miss + (2-14) 13 hits + (15-20) 6 crits at 2x damage = 25. OC gives +1 on 19 and 20, so 25 + 2 = 27.

The above calculation doesn't include +1[W] on cleave and +2[W] on greater cleave (usual spammage) nor any additional magical damage from weapon.

For single targets Cleaves are net loss to use for TWFers, because you don't get any offhands. Whether this is important to you relative to multiple target DPS, I can't say.
