Arbitor's Combine Greatsword or Baton of Faith

[jman]

which of these would be better for a paladin leveling up? or are they roughly the same? if a BoF is so much better I will use it. But I hate the sound that a two handed staff weapon makes. that swishing sound sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Baton is technically better but not by much so I would use the Sword. It's worth using weapons that look better to you if the power difference is minimal, in which this case it is.

Use Baton + turn game sounds off and listen to Colbert Report in background = win+win!

Follow up question, is either Baton of Faith or Arbitor's Combine better than the ghoulbane 20-35 vs undead?

Solo unrest to 40 with a ghoulbane, win!

2 proc's per minute (@ 105 dex) is less than 6 dps, which is a lot less than the diff between Ghoulbane (15/34) and Baton of Faith (30/40).

But Ghoulbane's more fun and you can interrupt casters occasionally with bash, so Ghoulbane + Clay Guardian Shield when tanking and BoF when solo in Unrest.

The combine sword is going to be a minimal difference compared to BoF. If you add your Undead DD spells in between attacks, the additional mana from the Greatsword will out perform the BoF in the end. I use the Greatsword over BoF and without days and days of comparing DPS, you really won't tell the difference. I use the Greatsword because 600-900p is whatever when I get all that extra mana's.

Btw, at 35, Sword of the Morning is out dps'ing Greatsword, BoF, and my Wurmslayer.

[Skittlez]

Oh yeah, the extra mana is nuts against undead. That's what I was gonna say.
