Ret pally weapon question

[Plump]

I know corpsemaker has always been the staple ret pally weap in this bracket, but with the release of that new boa, which in your opinion would be more viable



Bloodied arcanite reaper@29:

9 str

14 sta

9 crit rating, 1.59%@29

29.0 dps 88-132



They have the same top end dmg, and dps pretty much, you lose 6 str, gain 6 sta and 1.59% crit, just wanted some opinions

I'd stick with corpsemaker It's what my friends twink has.

I would rather keep the 12 AP on the Corpsemaker

 

[Luka]

Corpsemaker hands down

 

[Bansil]

woot?

do you really think that 6str (12AP) is worth 1,59% overall dmg and the burst coming from crit?



topend, avgdmg and speed are the same, so no advantage here.



having additional 6stam is very good post patch.



BAR > corpsemaker



to remind you: crit is crit is crit is.....crit. autohit crit. SoC crit. judgement crit. heal crit. crit.

Yea I'm going to have to go with BAR on this one for a ret pally. Since you don't benefit much from agility, you want to take advantage of all the crit rating you get get.
