In this case you could say that the paladin is only doing so well due to double riposte. However, the paladin only riposted 86 times. And if it is true and you double riposte 80% of the time he got an extra 69 atks out of 6896 total atks he made. Or about a 1% increase in DPS.

Says hi.
At this point I am getting pretty fucking upset. There were 86 FUCKING RIPOSTES. With someone without riposte AAs this makes for 86 MORE FUCKING ATTACKS. Follow me? Just checking, you have a habit of being slow.
So 86 more attacks out of 6896. OMG. I swoned by the damage added by ripostes. (I can't even believe I am going through this.) So if 42 of those landed and the average hit being 254, that means the damage from ripostes would be 10668. Well, you are thinking, that is quite a bit. Unfortunately, you are forgeting that with a 35.2 damage weapon those same number of ripostes would have added 5910 damage. So you the damage differential is 4758 more damage from using a vanazir over a zha from ripostes.
AND YOU THINK 4758 IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE 762397 TOTAL DAMAGE DONE? What part of elementary math did you skip?
Or in this case since the pally DID have his riposte AAs he would net 8609 more damage from ripostes than if he had been wielding a Zha at the time those ripostes were done. So riposting with a Vanazir instead of a zha with maxed riposte discs equates to about 1.3 more dps for that pally. It would be even less for the warrior without the riposte discs. BIG FUCKING WAHOO.
Let me put this in plain english. Ripostes are not a significant source of damage while tanking a 75% slowed mob that double attacks. Simple enough?

And btw your proc rate is directly tied to your dexterity and has nothing to do with the number of swings you take (easy to test, get slowed, parse; use no haste, parse; haste, parse). Two weapons = more chances to proc over time, naturally. When someone tells you that a certain weapon procs like crazy or another weapon procs like shit, it is because the weapon itself has a mod that figures into the proc formula either negatively or positively, i.e. a Howling Orb might be telling the server to check -200 versus dex per swing (which would explain its asstastic proc rate).

Oh, looky another Furor quote. (He is correct in this part for any that were wondering.) Did I say it procced a certain percentage? NOOOO. However, per unit of time, the zha procced 50% more. This means if I fight for an hour and get X damage from Vana procs, with the Zha I would have gotten 1.5 X damage. Okie dokie?
Does anyone else want to make some inane comments?
