SC Conq Weapon or Dominator first?

[Dreadspectre]

I was originally going to save the *shudder* meager amount of 2260 emblems for the 2H 45RR SC axe but I'm wondering now if getting the Dominator gear instead is a better option?

Is Dom gearthat much of an upgrade over full Merc? Does the 2H 45RR axe perform that much better than the 39RR SC axe?


Side note: Does the 39RR SC axe perform that much better than Bane epic quest weapon? Bane has that handy parry/dodge proc, this axe is just a beat stick heh.

Thanks friendos.

Class? For most tanks I find the sc 2h kinda meh compared to subj/epic quest weapons.

My BO. Yes I am a horrible person running 2H BO

Would still go for dominator gear first. 6/6 Dom with speed proc weapon is awesome.

Due to BO burst, you want high weapon DPS, so the weapon COULD be worth getting. But the epic weapon with taunt proc had slower speed = bigger AA hits. Couple that with SYG, you'll be getting juicy crits. But you don't have an AA haste tactic, and BO 2h is very reliant on killing someone asap imo.

Shame there aren't a lot of 4.2 weapons atm.

Being 2H BO (probably the squishiest 2H tank class in the game) and lacking WoDS or self-parry buffs like other tanks, wouldn't he benefit more from running the +parry/dodge/disrupt proc Epic 2h?

You want to spend +2k emblems for a loldps spec? One would expect that you are either completly or atleast partially sorted out gearwise, if you happen to have +2k spare emblems to spend on things like that, in which case these considerations wouldn't be necessary...

To dial back the grumpyness a tad:
1) Generally speaking: It depends on your class/general situation (solo/grp), as to which approach is the most sensible ~
2) Loldps is very good off with the avoidance procs on the epic quest weapons; gimping your sustain for the sake of a neglible a dps increase that you won't get to stick most of the time anyways...dunno, sounds meh.

Abbd: Note: Domi can be used outside of loldps a 2h can't - opt for Domi, if not only for the sake of a good ratio of 'time spent:useage'.

You assume I had the emblems saved already haha. No no, I'm only at about 600 right now, I just like to plan ahead. The more I've been playing though the more I started to wonder if that axe was really going to make a big enough impact to warrant bypassing Dom gear on that looooong road of saving emblems.

Get 2-3 Dominator pieces. Mix them with some Mercenary and Beastlord (If you were lucky enough to get it before it was removed). Use the defensive-proc 2H. And run away from BWs.

If you really want to 'dps' with a 2h bo so badly (which you can do just fine with snb), go for gear first, more important than weapons imo (plus 2k emblems for a weapon is just retardedly expensive).

I gave up running from BW's long time ago, there's no escaping I just run towards them now, sometimes I get lucky

Sad thing is Elemental is my highest resist and I still get obliterated, feelsbadman.
