Should I run sharpened or:

bg22

After another thread discussing the viable weapon trait options, should I run:

Ghettokid

Prosperous or training

And btw all your poll opinions are the same...
Pretty dumb mistake if you ask me.

Sharpened

Sharpened is better than sharpened if you ask me.

Update sig, pls.

Where's Sharpened?

DocFrost72

Sharpened for PvE dps, Nirn for pvp ing or dueling magic builds (double so if you start seeing nothing but sorcs), powered or precise for healers, defending and decisive for tanks, training for grinders, infused for niche builds (master's resto, maelstrom destro).

The only trait that is truly not a consideration is prosperous, tbh. It just seems like you wouldn't want any other trait if all you value is damage dealer toons.

I actually did 41k on robust skeleton self buffed today with infused trait. But was a special build tho. Meta says sharpened but its not a must. I do think the charge trait could be changed, maybe additional more dmg with status effects or something. Status effects are weak dmg, even on a DK with passive. Precice and nirn seam weak as well, but will work in some builds.
The decisive trait works best if you have more ult regen then the base you get from light attacking, since it has a chance to proc each time you gain ultimate. Not for a DD.

You forgot charged. Charged is good, very good indeed and now needed just as it is with concussion and off-balance
I'll post this under 100 threads if that's what it takes to get people to notice

I'll put myself out on the limb and say Charged >= sharpened in many scenarios that are not 12-man-fully optimised raids.

If you had used sharpened it would have been higher!

Idk man I did a dps test with sharpened, but got a lower score than when I used my sharpened. Now I'm just grinding for a sharpened so my sharpened damage per sharpened will be a bit more sharpened.

Sharpened

can i hijack the thread a moment to ask does the bleed effect from my 2 shaprpened maelstrom axes count as a single target dot?
ie can my axes buff themselves?

also that maelstrom rng is AWESOME! WHY SO MANY THREADS COMPLAINING?

RABIDxWOLVERINE

Sharpened

This is a close poll. I'm interested to see who will be the winner.

darthsithis

I have too many sharpened vma staves. Someone 2 man it with me so I can trade you for a charged maul.

@puffytheslayer Yes it counts as a single target DoT and yes they are empowered by Cruel Flurry without consuming the enchant and on top of that they ignore all penetration. The DoT is actually pretty damn strong, stronger than Rending Slashes!
