i dont have the Vraksakin Claw Club (damned we killed him so many times :/) so what is for us the best alternative? since i dont find weapon with this kind of damage range, i use staff of flaping wings which got the best rating imo but the damage range sux :/
if you have suggestions gogo

blackscale maul, max crits, yaulp = awsome.

its cheap, or easy to get, it is slow, but thats not always a bad thing.

i regularly break 1k solo on mobs in say nest or den with it.

youll b hitting for 1.3 upwards and its simply awsome with those max crits.

did i mention how good it was with max crits?


the issue of speed is sumthing to consider, how ever considering how procs work and the sheer damage its worth it.

nice boost to wis too.

Vrak claw club is still the best average dps for a 2H in game, there are quite alot of newer 1h's that pack some damage from EH, but vrak club still number one as far as melee dps for sure, i'd like to see the new bo staff they put in game, very likely and upgrade to the claw club

Vrak club is still very awesome, however, if your like me and have shit luck and can never get one, there are a few alternatives.

Personally, I always have a dirge in my group, as well as being full DPS spec. So, I've been using a Cudgel of Pain. With a self-buffed dps mod of 148, I'll hit for 550-700 with it, usually with a delay of 1.6ish (Fanaticism Haste, Yaulp, dirge haste/CoB). This will typically lead to parses of 1300-1400dps. However, I would NOT recommend this weapon if you do not have a dirge in your group.

Out of the Eof weapons, I've been eyeballing the crafted two-hand mace from EH, as well as the double attack mace from Mayong.

I think I understand what your getting at but ANYONE can get high dps mod numbers with others in group but Inquisitors can't get that high self buffed. The Cudgel of Pain is an ok weapon and use it sometimes with symbol of mystic etchings for that extra 15 dps but Maul of the Wardens Fist does more damage. And easier to get to. Anyone who has done MOA knows where it drops but no one ever wants it. Snag one of them and tell me your dps numbers after that.

I do have to say I am kinda dissappointed a "upgrade" to vrak club wasn't put into EOF cause another 1-500 damage 4.0 second delay weapon would be.... unbalanced? I realize that Inquisitors would be blowing away dps classes with auto attack alone but come on. I mean the best weapon for us drops off a pain in the ass mob that can be 2 grouped. The only reason its a pain is cause you got to spend like 30 to 45 mins getting to the wanker and then get dissappointed over and over cause the damn thing is RARE. On top of all of that too is that everyone else and their god damn mother wants to roll on it so the 1 time it may drop and your there, you better hope you got the most dkp or your just gonna shoot yourself from frustration trying to get it.

The vrak club isn't a reliable enough drop. Every 2 to 5 days vrak repops and ya can go kill him thats great and all providing another lowbie guild isn't going down there to kill Harla Dar and sees him up or something. I got alot of beef with a semi contested (not even a real one) having our best weapon with no inbetween weapons from MOA to Vraksakin.

I mean hell SOE made us this way on purpose they could at least throw us 1 Inquisitor only DPS weapon or Priest or something (Staff of unending growth doesn't count - avatar loot). I guess I am more pissed that Items aren't getting fixed till after the expansion so there is no hope for Inquisitors to have the weapon of their dreams unless for some crazy reason Archonix gets a wild hair up his butt to change that. Remember when you think of Inquisitors think of MAX damage, put a 1 to 450 damage range every time it doesn't bother me the only thing that matters with 100% crit is max damage and delay. The DR of a weapon is immaterial too. The staff from the Treant in EH was a nice step in the right direction but still not good enough to be called an upgrade to Vrak Club. Its an upgrade to instance loot though "Blackscale maul anyone?" I like how the easiest KOS instance now has an upgrade for the only weapon in game like the BSM and it drops on the 3rd floor of EH. Granted killing it is easy, but not all guilds just walk into EH clear and leave the same night.

Maybe I am bitter that all our good weapons are such a god damn pain to get and
a scout can go into LOA and snag a Grinning Dirk of Horror off the first mob. I know scouts will say "but its a rare drop" fuck you least it isn't fucking contested bitch AND a god damn rare drop to boot.

ouch thats alot of pain man, i saw that wardens fist thing and missed out on it the first time, but your saying its good? cus ill start doing moa raids again and grab it if itll improve over the BSM.

Artwat

Your right, I mistyped, I have 148 group buffed dps mod and 80 self-buffed. 40 from AA, 31 from Consecrated Aura and 9 from Faceted eye.

Mephiston

yeah you bastard, you got the consercrated aura the guy linked in chat channels, i offered him 30 plat for it, and he told me he was giving it you.....

did i mention i hate you?

Stoic

The Maul of the Wardens Fist is my primary weapon and my secondary is Tarinax's Spine (highest max damage for a 2hnaded crushing weapon with only a 2 second delay). The Maul is 310 max damage with a 4 second delay. I am very satisfied with both weapons due to 100% haste self buffed. I personally have never found anything to replace it till a vrak club drops for me.
