Ok sure it doesn't hit as fast but it has more HP and a nice *** proc so I would use the Stone Etched over Crow Footed. Also 2hs is usually higher skill so you will hit more often...
I have crow footed now and can't wait till I get my chance at Stone Etched!
hit 205 dps the other night with 1954 atk. Yes it holds agro just fine, even without a proc. PoP mobs have crap for ac so the damage delay has more effect than the damage bonus. I love log parsers =)
would this and anger three hold agro with my warrior? my guild is progressing towards the elementals soon and I use an AHBS and exiled blade atm, which would hold better agro? this and anger three or my current items?
Its possible you could hold aggro with it but its so fast it kinda defeats the purpose of using a 2handed weapon while tanking. The AC is really low for a tanking weapon too. Get a BoW or SEWS and aug that. :) And btw, this weapon in really good dps if your attack is high enough.
Aye this looks like 2 decent one handed weapons put into 1 decent two hander. Its attack speed being quicker than 28 means you wont get alot of innate attack from it, yet the ratio is very nice.
Frankly though, being a paladin I can do as much damage with a nice one hander (not to mention if you didn't get the AA Two Hand Bash), and get a shield and alot more AC/HP. Still the Stats are decent enough.
Doesn't the fast speed kind of mess up spells? Meaning, you waste a round of attack to cast a spell, whereas with bigger delay weapons, you can cast between swings and not waste attacks.
like he said, hybrid spells have a really fast cast time, especially the sk spear spells and some aggro spells, just a bit of timing, and you have no problem at all with this weapon, or any for that matter.
Aye Nnod, but to offset this Hybrid classes got the cast times of many of our spells reduced. There will be a slight loss of dps, but with a weapon like this with such a good ratio it would be barely noticable imo.
There is only ONE piercing skill. Its just called Piercing, and is used for both 1h and 2h weapons. However, it certainly is true that there are not MANY 1hp weapons that are Paladin equippable.
i got one of these bad boys the other day,OMG it hits almost as hard as my goldenrod but MUCH faster! doesn't have the proc that he goldenrod has but makes up for it with the thorough **** whoop'n it deals out!
