Since the Blood Sword of Hate also has Poison DMG:1, it's dmg/dly ratio is better than Stained Axe of the Scions. Also, when you add the Blood Sword's strength +10 to it's vengeance I, it effectively has Vengeance III, which is also better than the Stained Axe's Vengeance II. The only thing the Stained Axe has going for it is better wisdom, slightly more resists, and it can be had on my server for as low as 200 plat. As a ranger, I would be happy with either weapon, but would take the Blood Sword over the Stained Axe any day.
13(+1) / 20 , probably slightly higher base dps than stained axe of the scions, and a good weapon to dual-wield with the axe. Probably evens out with the extra atk on the axe / elemental damage resists.
BUT if you already have your Swiftwind, stick with the axe Vengeance II > Vengeance I.
Hmmn...I have never been up against a new Hate mini yet, other than Hand of the Maestro, since I have spent very very little time in the zone. If anyone could post a bit of info about this guy, it would be highlyappreciated.
I see this sword and I feel like this. So if you posted info that helped me get one, I'd be very thankful and be like this to you.
