Wonder if this actually means Natures Defender is equal to the Fiery Defender now, given the slight +delay. Either way, it sounds like root jousting has become more viable and Earthshaker just went up in value.

Epic used to be 6.7% better. It’s still better but by a smaller margin of only like 3.1%. 46 delay is a sweet spot with 40dmg bonus. 40 delay has 34 which is a bit worse even though it swings faster.
I prefer the slower delay, graphic. and the 45ac over epic, but if I had both I’d always use epic for the bash.
Prior to patch I was always torn. 27/29 hate blade and ND damage were really close with ND usually winning only thanks the the proc. 2hand damage for me is now significantly better so the choice is easier.
-45ac means more mitigation than 25ac on my shield
-46 delay so far fewer ripostes
-proc is nice for aggro
-ND is much more dps
Shield/sword now only come out if I need to bash a caster or if I need to low aggro dps as I don’t have a comparable ratio 2hander without a proc.
