I think it's only something you feel.
While Nocti is a great weap, and the ebon mace even much more brutal, some 2 handers will come on top of em. I have a Jaid Inlaid Crescent Axe and it deals more damage than the ebon mace I reckon. Not a large margin, for sure, but still.
I'll agree that you need a top tier 2hander for this to be true though, it's indeed likely the ebon mace + shield would outdps the Rod you use. You can try parsing it to be certain, also [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
This.
I have a 40 SK. Ebon mace is really nice, but granite face grinder outdoes it (and I bet deathbringers rod is VERY close to the mace's DPS).
Plus as a large race, you can still slam when using 2h (so you aren't really missing out on bash). And 2h get riposted less + riposte harder. And 2h lose less melee time because of spellcasts. And AC is of questionable benefit on p99 so losing a shield isn't a huge loss. Faster weapons have relatively higher thread than slower ones, but a SK isn't really too concerned with threat from weapons anyway... and noc blade is only slightly better thread than the rod anyway.
