DPS on OaT is pretty solid, not only do you swing more but WS Frequency gets boosted as well. I know you are saying people act like only weapon skill matter but a boost to WS frequency is part of it. The DoT itself is pretty nice, also with Endark up it's pretty beastly. I loved my Calad but I seen it as a DoT weapon more then anything. I just wanted a different kind of WS/DoT Split really. I'm not sure if I'll be taking it to 90 or not.
But yes I am well aware my DPS still matters. Just the tp gain is something wonderful. The damage is pretty good for an OaT weapon as well. Also when we finally get more info on Neo Nyzul Askar+5 will easily land a 5 hit build with capped haste (Without that crappy tactical mantle).
Even with OaT Gsword at least 20-30% of my total damage is DoT. On one of my better parses as well. Depends if amnesiad or not though
Roughly though OaT Gsword gave me nearly a 25% DoT, 75% Weaponskill Split. I ended up coming ahead of an Ukon WAR and Vere MNK by a good %. But one Ukon WAR I could not beat no matter how hard I tried. This dude is beast. I don't know if it's okay to show names and such.
On an ideal Pil for example.
