Best Melee Weapons Per Class - End Game Velious
 

I'm not sure if there's another thread somewhere, but I couldn't find one. I'm curious to know what people consider the top end-game weapons on the server per melee class. Since I play a ranger my list would probably consist of the following weapons :

Tolan's Longsword of the Glade (Vulak)

Baton of Flame (Zlexak)

Claw of Lightning (Eashen)

Braid of Golden Hair (Tunare)

Sap Encrusted Branch (Tunare)

Serrated Dragon Tooth (Dozekar) http://wiki.project1999.com/Serrated_Dragon_Tooth

I made the above list based on overall ratios and procs. Kreizenn's flame is great, but it's not BIS as Baton of Flame has a better ratio than this sword with the same proc. I realize ratio isn't everything, and for rangers procs can be detrimental so weapons like Baton, Braid and Sap Branch may not be the best options, which is why I listed all the above weapons as alternatives. I'm not sure what my preferable combo would be, but the fastest ratio combo would be Baton of Flame + Claw of Lightning.

For a rogue I'd probably say Massive Heartwood Thorn + Claw of Lightning is best combo. I don't know about each class, but the more info the better! Be cool to see people's opinions for each class.

Bard = Nature's Melody + Epic.
I believe epic would be switched to offhand if the patch is implemented that allows the instrument modifier to be in effect when the epic is in the offhand.

Baton / Swiftwind BIS imo for ranger. Claw would be really good too, but I like +30 ATK alot.

I have no idea why Cecily said Swiftwind, but she is right about the Baton of Flame. I think the other good one would be Claw of Lightning or Braid of Golden Hair. The best for solo would be Tolan's Longsword of the Glade -- but the previous two are better in raids. This is the ideal set-up:

Baton of Flame / Claw of Lightning.--->For heavy resist fights

Baton of Flame / Braid of Golden Hair.--->For low-medium resist fights

Baton of Flame / Tolan's Longsword of the Glade.--->For solo

And probably a Primal for Avatar.

Yeah.. I'd just pick one good setup. Using weapons as stat sticks is silly. Why god made armor slots. And as to why, I said +30 atk. Enhances damage for both weapons. And if that doesn't translate to better damage, it translates to a hell of a lot easier to obtain for almost as good.

Honestly.. compared to claw, tolan's is terrible ratiowise. Baton/Claw 100% in any situation not involving a DS, if you're willing to forgo +atk.

Primal is huge. I would say it's 50% of the upgrade of Velious, the other half being improved weapon ratios.

But when every guild on the server brings 100+ raiders armed with massive clickies to encounters designed for 40 . . . . does it really matter?
