[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 8050103, member: 6795602"] I'll concede that the TWF rogue does more damage than the monk, as long as you concede that the monks damage is close to that rogues. That the damage is close is important for my next point - stunning strike and open hands prone will be enough to close the gap and then some, ultimately putting the monk ahead in damage. Which I think brings us to your next point... It's not muddying the waters. It's a harder calculation that requires more assumptions. We can make those assumptions and math it out. It's the correct thing to do. At a 60% chance to hit you only hit 4.8 out of 8 attacks per short rest. You are actually assuming that Booming Blade will trigger 41.67% of the times you hit. That's much too high of a percentage. And heck, if we are assuming Booming Blade to be triggered we have to factor in OA's as well, right? My personal experience is that OA's are rare. I'd say I get 1 about 5-10% of the time. Which means booming blade triggers will only trigger 60% of your OA rate. In my case I'd estimate 3-6%. [/QUOTE]
