Look, all I was saying is, rather than dance with an inferior jewelry setup, just roll with the 15 dci rather than worrying about the hit spell on a mage wep.
If you're "dueling", then lanterns "should" be in both duelers empty hand, which negates any melee skill from ever mattering.
If you're simply in a 1v1 with another mage, then yes I understand a 2 second wep will swing ever 2 seconds if your stam is between 0-29. If you're in that 1v1 with another mage, and you feel you "really" need that edge, then you can simply "disarm" and equip your "alternate" weapon, which should be a hit fireball 50 wep.
These are just my opinions, but what do I know. I only pvp 99.999999% of the time.
