Heh heh. If you want to save me the work, feel free. How
many MB can your mailbox handle? :)

I specifically put a piercer in my 2nd hand so I could tell
the two apart. The numbers I gave are for each weapon in the
primary hand. It does (tentatively) fit the pattern you
describe, with the EBW having a slight advantage. However,
the Yak's proc, even with a >50% resist rate, completely
swamps out that advantage.
Interesting note is that just using the raw dam/del ratio to
get hypothetical damage figures for a planes weapon (11/25),
it's better than a Yak + proc. That reminds me, I need to
compare proc rate in the secondary...

Yeah, the parser I'm using generates a histogram, but it does
so only graphically - it won't tell me the exact number of
times each damage value occurred, which is what I really want.
