Weapon Selection Troubles for my barb

so anyway I made my highest RW recently and its used on my barb.

He uses it for conc but he's a dual swords user.
Should I use the lower damage eOath Balrog Blade on the offhand (where I get the 75% Damage to demons, AR etc) or use my shaeled Grandfather and get the bonus to AR, stats and life). The grandfather offers more damage.

Remember, grief is on the On-hand and its my primary weapon for Concing. The off-hand sword damage only comes into affect during WWing so I'm not 100% what bonuses affect the WW damage.
Any help is greatly appreciated.:thumbup:

Oh, and those who want to post saying "you should use eBotd, eDeath, LW" etc...I can't afford them yet.:girly:

Re: Weapon Selection Troubles for my barb

I thought that when dual wielding and using a single target attack, you alternate between weapons or this only happens when using the normal attack?! If it uses the same weapon (Grief) then the stats of Grandfather seem better but I have doubts about the mods that pass to the main weapon mainly the +50% AR, but you can check it easily.
When WW’ing you do alternate between weapons so you should use the one that gives better damage output i.e damage per second:
Breakpoints
One-handed weapons
Breakpoints: 15, 10, -10, -35.
Number of frames in-between hit-checks after frame 8: 12, 10, 8, 6, 4

Oath Balrog Blade:
Base weapon speed: 0
Weapon increased attack speed: 50
Whirlwind speed: 0 - 50 = -50
Breakpoint reached: -35
Number of frames in-between checks: 4
Hit-checks at frames 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 etc.

Grandfather + Shael:
Base weapon speed: 5
Weapon increased attack speed: 20
Whirlwind speed: 5 - 20 = -15
Breakpoint reached: -10
Number of frames in-between checks: 6
Hit-checks at frames: 4, 8, 14, 20, 26, etc.

Oath damage/second = <damage> x 25/4 = 6,25 x <damage>/second
Grandfather damage/second = <damage> x 25/6 = 4,17 X <damage>/second

So if Oath damage is less than 67% the damage of Grandfather, then the Grandfather is the best weapon, if it's more than Oath is better.

Ufff, enough math for today. :coffee:
