due to flagging alt loot won't be easy to get, certainly not decent stuff. Even the teir 1 raids, only Thuuga is easy to get an alt to the ZI.

[Lopann]

well i dont think the level cap will go up anytime soon, so i dont think flagging alts will be an issue...

[Lopann]

meh for x2 post, but couldnt edit...

Anyway even though i dont have a main, im still going to keep up with loot and all that jazz, once an sk always an sk and ill still be on the lookout for kickass gear...

I read the original post and now have a question about a choice of 2 hand weapons I'll soon have to make as a reward from the Anaphylaxis quest.

Note- 2H Weapons should have as high of a delay with a large amount of damage associated with it as possible. With melee crits its likely you will be hitting a crit on an auto attack more than half the time depending on group, so choosing one that hits extremely hard when it does hit is vital.

Considering I'm usually an offtank/dps roll, which would you choose:

Spine of Skorpsis
+65 str +80 sta
150 health 150 power
+6 Defense
+2 Melee Crit chance
157-626 dmg (130.5 rating)
Necrotic Scorpikis Poison effect
2.0 times per min.
519 poison

or

Staff of the Impaler
+36 sta +64 wis +84 int
225 health 275 power
+10 disruption
+50 spell damage
139-259 dmg (113.7 rating)
Acute Scorpikis Poison effect
2.0 times per min.
1037 poison


I love the enormous damage and rating of the first weapon but it has no INT. Since we are only 35% melee damage, which do you think would give me better DPS?

[Cattivo Di'Morte]

Spine of Skorpsis will give more dps..the staff is nice..if you are one of the crusaders who spam casting and not to big on autoattackin intervals then the staff is best however...one thing I learned...NEVER gimp your melee..so I vote
Spine of Skorpsis.

[Lopann]

With the spine your auto attack damage would be much higher being a better choise...

That was often said quite a lot during KoS back when most weapons sucked.

with EoF and definatly with RoK there are a lot of nice slow weapons that hit and crit pretty hard.

Never underestimate your melee attacks!

[Doomjudge]

personally I don't get it why Spine has so low power and HP compared to staff .. priest one hander has same amounts

[Ripzz]

Spine is alot better.

[Lopann]

Will be updating this soon with RoK loot seperated from the EoF stuff, eventually i will phase out the EoF stuff when we get equipped with full RoK.
