You're missing the point that ONLY epic storm worth it. And by the time people farm it (until you already have it of corse) inq probably gonna be nerfed lol.

you can compare damage with this confusing tool

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Hd0fsX18438cNZ4m7jedArcKoadS5u61_i001uWMGvY/edit#gid=3 

On the "ranged" tab, if you scroll down enough you will notice that someone already plugged in numbers for Ratcatcher and ML22 TF, and also the numbers for these weapons at +2[w].

You can enter the parameters of your character in the top section and then additional details about the base weapon damage, enhancements, crit range, multiplier, and procs into one row for each weapon. The "per swing" column will show how much damage will a single hit deal on average.

Damn... and I thought UnknownBuilder was still alive...
