The superior swing damage (514-772 vs 507-761) and weapon speed (3.8 vs 3.4) make SoB Procs and Strikes hit harder with SoT over TD. Whether at or below the hit-cap though there just isn't much between them, showing just how much Weapon Speed counts*. Any of the lvl213+ 2-h weapons are better, as are most of the ilvl200 ones slower than 3.4 or with a more favourable stat split (Agi+AP+extras rather than STR).<br /><br />That said, I really should get around to swapping around my gear and double-checking that conclusion. Being top-5 DPS in my guild, and eternal optimism, has probably made me a little sloppy.<br /><br /><br />* as an aside, the Greatsword of the Sin'dorei has a gorgeous looks but an atrocious swing speed. I'd only get it if you were really gold poor or had Champion Seals to burn and no access to 5-man Heroics or better.Suicidal Zebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209267053163631586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-86289439168218363482009-06-28T09:10:06.886-05:002009-06-28T09:10:06.886-05:00From a design point of view it seems very much tha...From a design point of view it seems very much that there should be something like the Blade of Harbingers. When you hit 80 there are entry level Blacksmith/Engineer crafted weapons. But after that the only realistic path of prgression is raid drops. Granted there are pvp weapons for high personal rating but if you are a weapon-based class not easy to pvp your way to high rating without a big weapon.<br /><br />I suspect that either 3.2 or 3.3 will see weapons available for Emblems of Triumph.<br /><br />Blizzard is very keen to not have people in the end game ghetto. If you can't improve on Titansteel because you can't get raids, can't get raids because you can't get the achievements and can't get the achievements because you can't get a decent weapon to merit a spot then the logical thing to do is to leave and play another game.<br /><br />Preventing this will be key in the itemisation strategy of the next two patches. The Blade of Harbinger model is an excellent example of how to solve this. It should never become impossible to improve (nor a matter of hanging around in trade channel hoping someone takes pity on you).Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-71733051314453626982009-06-28T07:57:41.414-05:002009-06-28T07:57:41.414-05:00I miss the The Blade of Harbingers.
