DK DPS Weapon ChartsFollow

Hello Copy, have you met my good friend Paste? Wish there were an easier way to reformat rtf files for posting ;)

Here for your dining pleasure is a condensed version of some stat weight calculations I've been putting together for my guild. This was partially inspired by my previous rogue pre-raid list (yes! I'll be updating soon, promises!) and partially because I couldn't find a complete list with spec adjustments anywhere. So here ya go: Full stat adjusted APEP (Attack Power Equiv. Points) calculations for currently available raiding weapons. edit: Numbers are color coded by spec: Red/Blood, Blue/Frost, Green/Unholy.

This list is based on stat weights on the EJ Death Knight thread. The stats there have been checked by a fair number of theorycrafters so I feel confident in their value. But note that they are approximations and may change as the nerf bat hits us in the future. Nobody outside of Blizzard have access to the actual statistics used in-game. So if your DPS on Patchwerk is off by .3%, don't come QQing to me.

ALSO: This list is not intended to be used for spec to spec comparison. The numbers below are relative only within their respective specs and not between them. Jawbone isn't intrinsically better for Frost than Blood even though their APEP numbers are different. The APEP values do not show DPS differences in specs, only in weapons within each spec. Please do not use this analysis for spec DPS discussions. There are many variables needed for those types of number-crunching that are not represented here.

If there are any link or statistical errors, please let me know. I would also like to ask that posts here stay on topic. Got a tangential topic to bring up? Please start a new thread. Thanks ;)
