Whats better. 3 DR bypass or 30% extra damage?

[Gary1986]

I'm torn between the Hearth Harvest (which has 3 DR bypass) and the Exceptional Hatchet (which i could put 30% damage onto). Which would do more damage?

Heart Harvest is better, as you can make it latter on also be exceptional addition to its other bonuses

So if i had Heart Harvest 

• Burning Lash: +25% Burn Damage
• Rending: 3 DR bypass
• Exceptional: 30% dmg

 

Or Exceptional Hatchet 

• Burning Lash: +25% Burn Damage
• 30% dmg
• Exceptional: 30% dmg

 

Which would do more damage?

You can have either exceptional or damaging 2 - you can't get both, they're mutually exclusive. So, with the parity in enchantments, hearth harvest is always the better damage dealer.
