Question - Berzerker Weapon Damage vs Efficiency

[Jetanroth]

For a zerker is the most important thing the damage of the weapon or overall weapon efficiency?

Searching two handers on Allah there are some "Velium Infused" options that can be made the spear is Dmg: 441 Delay: 30 and the hammer is Dmg: 529 Delay: 36

Is the higher damage better or is the higher efficiency better?

i always compare efficiency and specifically for my group setup, i get better performance with 36s on my 2hander toons

for mnk/bst i always try and go with the mnk/bst specific weapons since they are higher efficiency - which usually means less options to specific delay.

for my zerkers i prefer whatever the 36 delay weapon is assuming the same efficiency

I agree with Sic on this one, I use the 36 delay weapons in my groups and put out pretty incredible numbers as well.

Ok, hammer it is then! =)

same, always highest dmg rating weps, useful for bursts dps.

Does it matter that it isn't an AXE specifically for his Dichotomic Rage to actually work? Does it still work with a 2HB rather than 2HS?

Also, should the Monk in the group be using his 2HB to take best advantage of the Shared Atavism?

With the changes to juggernaut, a 36 delay weapon will out parse a faster weapon during burns since juggernaut scales better with worse delay

with bst or bard tossing out hundred hands 2hb parses out better .... with no HH 2hp parses higher. Oh and ACoC just isnt high enough HH to matter much. Dicho works no matter weapon equipped.

Ack. Bringing back bad memories. Turning off attack on target switch still sucks.

Ok, that is good news, I saw it said "slashing" so I was worried the 2HB wouldnt count.

36 delay is the "sweet" spot for del vs dmg with dmg bonus

Why wouldn’t you go with the best ratio weapon? In this case, I believe the best ratio weapon for group geared people is the velium infused 2HP. Overall wouldn’t that be the best option?

@batweed66 i think currently 2HB is the way to go with MNK

 

[Jetanroth]

@batweed66 i think currently 2HB is the way to go with MNK

Because of the shared Atavism with a Zerker in the group? Or why do you believe 2HB is best for the Monk?

 

[wymranar]

@batweed66 i believe I’ve read in a few monk threads that 2hb is the way to go DPS wise. I think there are calculations that factor in a number of things, but I can’t remember exactly what they are. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong here, but that’s what I recall.

I would imagine if 2hb is used for best dps, then it would also be the best choice with a zerk

Ah, now that is interesting, so the 2HB is best DPS for a Monk under normal circumstances, with or without the Zerker? I have been dual wielding on the Monk but if the 2HB is better DPS I could always make him a Velium Infused one.

yup with my testing, 2hb for monk is the way to go nonstop - especially since their proc with 1h/h2h is busted and can proc off of 2hb anyhow heh

 

[Sum1]

All raiders use 2HB on zerkers.

As long as you have a bard
Use the highest delay/highest damage
it wont matter with a bard
