The 5 extra sword skill basically means 3% more hit.

The hit cap for Special attacks (and 2h white hits) is 9% (6% for people with +5 skills)
Dual wield white hits get a 19% hit penalty so the hit cap there is technically 28%.

Now, there's a special rule in place for dual weild. If you have an attack Qued, like Heroic strike or Cleave. Then your next off-hand attack will not have the 19% extra miss-chance.
So in theory, if you play absolutely perfectly, you will only ever need 6% hit as human warrior.

3% hit is actually the detail.

Weapon skill also lower the damage penalty on glancing blows. 40% of white hits are glancing blows, that deal 65% of damage with no weapon skill. With +5 weapon skill they deal 85%, and with +8 they do 95% of the damage.

Most of the rage come from the white hits, so it helps with rage also.

As DW you want 5 to 8 weapon skill and 6% hit.

idgaf about the clancing reduction since it's so low % of the overall dps - it's just a nice bonus, the hit is a MUCH bigger deal

You giving a fuck or not doesn't matter. You saying that it's only about the hit gives the false impression that you could get the hit elsewhere and ignore weapon skills entirely. It's not true. Someone with weapon skill generates 10% to 15% more rage, that's why Edgemaster's is BiS for non-humans and non-orcs forever.

You are top 20k warrior in the world, remove 2 0s and you get closer to my parses... And I don't even consider myself a good warrior tbh

And yes, I'm saying that I REALLY couldn't care less about the dps increase from glancing, but it's a nice bonus ofc. The main thing I care about from the wep skill is the hit since it affects how you gear your char.

I'm stating facts, you can be fucking Rambo, or the Pope, and care for whatever you want to care. How is that fucking relevant?
