Title: Best group BST weps?
Post by: larir on October 08, 2011, 09:44:00 PM
I was wondering what 2 group level weps would be considered the best combo for DPS?

I use these.

Maeder's Staff of Station (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=92426) 1HB
Possessed Rod (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=94060) 1HB
Dream Destroyer's Hand (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=91904) H2H
Demon's Horn (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=94061) H2H

These are the best HoT T4 weapons in the game group obtainable right now.

Personally I use Dream Destroyers hand and Possessed Rod. I linked the others in case you might want to compare them for yourself.

Of the 4 linked, Dream Destroyer's Hand and Demon's Horn are the clear ratio winners from the DPS point of view, even before adding augments. They're also the fastest, so +dmg augs will improve them more than the others.

From the tanking/healing point of view, the stun proc of the Possessed Rod has value, at least against blue mobs. If you're not tanking, you're probably stealing aggro more often than you should because of it.

Of course, next expansion is going to change everything, like it always does.

This is what Nusa means by ratio

maeder's staff of station - 81dmg 24delay = 3.375
possessed rod - 88dmg 26delay = 3.384615
dream destroyer's hand - 74dmg 20delay = 3.7
demons horn - 71dmg 19delay = 3.736842

This is the easiest method I know of to figure out the ratio: dmg divided by delay equals ratio (XX/1).

So True.

Still haven't gotten into beta this year. I'm wondering why...

I just noticed you're on my server Larir. Usually I play on the weekends if you want to team up. Though I think I sent you a TA to a Tearable Fear a couple weeks ago?

BTW I think your magelo is a little out of date.

Not only are the ratio's better, H2H > 1HB due to the AA proc.

Nedoorah, I just got into Beta, took a while and not sure why.

/wave Nusa, glad to see you guys joined FA.

I'm in now. However I don't know which accounts are active in beta since I applied with 3 and got 2 e-mails.

I got in with my bst and shm accounts. Wondering why my warrior account isn't accepted though...

It's random, basically.  They put names into a pool, and draw x names out when they want more people to test something or another.
