Blam Stick Ranger?

[kaizersoze]

my understanding is that blam stick is better for non velious targets because the AC is so much higher on velious mobs and a lot of the higher damage is mitigated by them, where a faster weapon with more damage bonus stacking up per swing would accrue more dps over time.

Yea I was thinking in most grind situations, especially with spare mana to dump using Call of Flame, there is an argument for the Blam. Even snaring takes a bit of time so you would lose less dps with a slower weapon. I'd definitely keep the fast weapon in my bag for higher AC and/or raid targets.

Thanks all for the input. Might try to figure out a way to get a Blam just to be weird.
