I have parsed Dogwood/ Thex Hammer / Deep Forge Hammer / BoneCrusher on the dummies, and with various raid setups.

Dogwood remains the best, with Bonecrusher a close second. Thex is decent and can keep up.

what numbers are you gusy getting then with the dogwood, cus for me its way in the back :/

Bigdawg

Depends on raid group... but peak with the Dogwood is 5.9k with average about 4.5k depending on what is going on... this is mostly in palace. Bonecrusher is closest to that... as is Thex Mallet ..


For me, its all about getting overwhelming arms to flurry as often as possible..

Calain

My highest parse vs palace trash was 6.3k with dogwood (5.9 with Thex). Group was Fury, Troubadour, Warlock, Necromancer, Brigand, Inquisitor (don't ask holiday time).

7.2k high parse from Palace trash... Bonecrushah!! I'm still trying to get the Deep Forge hammer... it just won't drop for me. Seen it guild events 3 times now, prlly transmuted each time. Our end line DPS stance is just awesome... not to mention fanatical devotion, which has my troub friend in a tizzy since it adds more group wide dmg to the parse than his PoTM (casters and a troub usually in my group). On a side note... the assassin's "verdict" procced last night on Switchy... by the time my verdict macro hit, it was dead already. The vein in my forehead was twitching............

darklumina

Parsed 65## (high) in heal gear with Thex Mallet and a single ring with greater undead bane. (3300 ZW for the Trash overall). I was running Yaulp, DPS stance, and devotion pretty much all the time. Side note, FD was 202 of my zone wide DPS and the Thex proc: Mark of the Imprisoned was 130. Setup was: Illy, Troub, Wizard, Conj, Brigand, Inquisitor

I've been using the Thex Mallet and have the Dogwood sitting in my bag.

Thex seems to be parsing higher for me so far. I just got the forge hammer and will try it this week.

I got the hammer from forge and sold it because it was parsing horridly for me at the time, but that was before finishing out my AA and upgrading my offense gear quite a bit. I am kicking myself now, since i haven't seen it drop again since. I would however be concerned about what getting a double flurry with that thing would do to my aggro, I rip enough as it is with the Thex Mallet. My high parse is only around 5200 in SoH, but my DPS gear is far behind my healing set.

well... considering the hammer hits for 4500 in an instance without brigand... the "worst" case would be a double-flurry with 2x5 hits. thatd be 45000 damage at once. since youre likely not having any dehate-stuff (troub/amends... whatever) thats very likely going to get you in trouble if the mob is not a punching ball like soh trash
