Going from 1H sword+Shield to Ryude's Sword

Ok I'm going to start with this thread first over Lance's one because this is far more straightforward to do.

I'm going to assume that we do get those scrolls you say. And so the potentials will just directly go over for your 1H sword and shield (to the secondary). I'm also assuming the numbers you gave me are unbuffed.

You're losing: 24WA (from sword) + 22WA (from Shield, say you get the better Rosary from Evo) = 46WA, 20%Boss (from the Fafnir, I'm pretending you can find another 25%Boss neb), 1 speed stage (1 --> 2), but you gain 1 attack count on Blast (10 --> 11). You go from 1H to 2H, so the multiplier changes (1.2 --> 1.34). STR is assumed to be constant with your Rosary providing you some STR too.

From all skills and hypers, at full buffs you have 25%DMG (from charges) + 30%DMG (Void Elem) + 20% (Hyper) + 42%DMG (Blast lvl 32) = 117%DMG. That brings you up to a total of 117% + 209% + 15% + 9% = 350%DMG worth on your 1H+shield. Losing 20%Boss is equivalent to

4.3/4.5 = 0.9555 i.e. a loss of 4.45% DPS [not a lot, but just HOW do you get 206% Boss?]

Blast has a delay of 840 ms, and so at speed stage 1 to speed stage 2, the delays are: 30*CEILING[840/30 * (10 + 1)/16] = 600 ms, and 30*CEILING[840/30 * (10 + 1)/16] = 630 ms. Therefore, the change in DPS is 600 / 630 = 0.9524 i.e. a loss of 4.76% DPS

You lose 46WA, out of 880WA, which brings you to 834WA, so 834/880 = 0.9477 i.e. a 5.23% decrease in DPS.

You gain 1 attack count, which brings you up 10% DPS.

Your multiplier changes from 1.2 to 1.34, so 1.34/1.2 = 1.1167 or a 11.67% increase in DPS.

Hands down Ryude's Sword is superior by 5.94% net DPS, only IF all potentials are unchanged and you find another 25%Boss neb. Without the neb, you lose 0.22% DPS. If you are double-nebbed now, your gain in DPS from this change would go down slightly, but should still be around 5.5%

Now for the difficult parts: 1) getting the sword, 2) scrolling your sword with those scrolls (if they do appear), and 3) cubing the sword and your secondary.
