Comparative DPS Value

"Also, parsing needs further testing to determine if DPS is slightly better than or equal to the reliable Tranquil Staff under similar conditions. Current results displayed a 1-3% increased dmg over T-staff with Baton in primary and AC secondary - June 2019"

^ Copied this from the main item page; this is discussion material rather than item description. On that note, parsing is an unreliable method of comparison. You'd need the same exact mob, not even just the same type of mob (due to mob level variance), and you'd need a very long parse sample. Using A kromrif recruiter and ensuring not to kill him, and creating a long parse would be helpful.

Really though, a mathematical approach might be preferable; using this calculation method as a reference (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V2vVUwfB7NBXqgfj4ZLnc-KWGy91esVBElY7p8qcnxk/edit#gid=0), the DPS on this baton is less than just using your epic fists.

There are many dual-wielding combinations that produce better DPS (based on ratio alone) than the T-staff, and again this baton is less than epic fists. So the real point of discussion here is the proc. It's interesting that you could have this proc and an off-hand proc and possibly stun lock; you could do that with Tstaff too, with its 12-second stun it will sometimes proc again before the first wears off.

The bit I'll note about the difference between the two is that the Tstaff's proc damage is *unresistable* whereas this baton proc is not.
