I am using the HC taoren upgraded and i got a drop of the normal version of the wep from Durumu.
Everything I have read on here said Taoren is better, but i thought I would sim it and see for myself. Few tests and Taoren was simming out better but I can not understand why.
Essentially the difference I can see between the 2 weapons is as follows (very rough figures):
Taoren
290 Agility
600 Mastery
Durumu’s
650 Wep DPS
600 Crit
According to Female Dwarf stat weights are
Agi – 4.9
Wep Dps – 3.9
Crit – 1.6
Mast – 1.05
Simple math states that Durumu should be around 1,400 DPS increase, but sims show a 500 DPS loss.
Should i trust the math (which relies on the stat weights being correct) or should i trust the sim?
A 517 Taoren with both the legendary gem and the extra socket should be better than a 522 weapon, last I checked. I have neither of these things because H-Lei Shi and ToT hates me, but that's what other people who did the math suggested.
