Sabre > Battle axe all day every day

@SilchasRuin Easy there. You are acting like a cornered animal already. You are talking utter nonsense and imagine things that aren't there.

 

@RIP-Clownboy St Gyran's Horn, Ruby and Vithrack Brain at level 3-4? Really?!

Wē Toki is also a nice weapon. At least it's a pure crit weapon and not some stupid mix. On top of that you are forgetting enchantment slots. Crit damage on battle axes do not count as enchantments. Both mentioned sabres are at 10/12 when enchanted to superb, while both mentioned battle axes are at 8/12 leaving enough room for both a lash and a slayer.

What? I'm not quite sure how you're getting that from  my response, I'm only noting the strengths of Resolution. Idk where you're getting that I'm "talking utter nonsense and imagining things that aren't there". All I'm saying is: the base quality isn't that important, draining isn't a great dps enchantment, "normal difficulties" are irrelevant, and reliable isn't as bad as you make it out to be.

 

Slayer is a pretty mediocre enchant, way worse than reliable unless you're particularly enchanting for a specific area/boss/bounty/etc.

 

Well, it pretty much seemed like it to me. Sorry if I offended you with that remark.

 

I'd need a wall of text here for each of your arguments and it's 1:50am already, so I'll make it extremely short.

 

Reliabe is good, I never said it's crap, but it's not something for crit builds while the crit multiplier is. Bringing in hearth orlans into the equation won't change that.

 

I never said Purgatory was godly, but I find draining to be extremely useful. My melee rogue can tank (unless she gets CC'd and while health lasts ofc), is a DPS beast and an off tank at the same time.

 

Reliable has equal effectiveness if the difference between deflection and accuracy is between -45 and +15. A crit build is generally speaking using +hit to crit modifiers, and thus can afford to take talents such as savage attack and dual wield instead of going for single wield, while still maintaining respectable crit chance. A hearth orlan rogue at +15 accuracy over an enemy's deflection grazes 35% of the time, hits 35% of the time, and crits 30% of the time, reliable will add 7% to hits from grazes, which is a respectable damage increase on what would otherwise be low roll hits. Now if your accuracy goes above 15 over the targets deflection clearly the value of reliable will drop, however mobs with such low deflection will tend to die rapidly regardless.
