Would you still get SK epic if you already have a Rocksmasher?

Epic has a little proc on it that you won't even notice in a group or raid.

Ok?

The proc shines when soloing and farming content, but it's still very decent for group content especially duos and trios which are more common now on blue. It isn't even bad on raids versus AEs, to prevent low HP aggro. And it rarely ever sees a resist, even on those raid targets. Plus it fills a buff slot, potentially taking a dispel instead of the substantial buffs you have to ask other classes for. But forgetting all of that, if 1.5s are ever added, and I've seen a player wielding Innoruuk's Voice on blue, than there's another reason to get it.

1.5's will never happen on blue and if they do, there is an easy prequest.

Anyhow, that trickle of healing does practically nothing. If AOE'S are that big of a problem, you use wort pots.

And the only time the epic would be even remotely useful in a duo/trio would be if there is literally no healing.

Rocksmasher is just that much better than the epic.

I wouldn’t really call it a trickle. I’ve been using it on my SK since 50 and it averages probably 500-900 hp healed per fight (the proc can actually tick an additional time).

Source?

On live. This isn't live.

Trickle? How much HP does your SK have?

Why waste pots on ToV trash?

The proc can act as a counter to heavy dots and helps when FD fails while mobs are beating on you; remain facing the clusterfuck for riposte procs, then FD again and watch health tick back up. Sometimes that means not having to get back in range of heals, so the pull time is shortened. The proc is also useful in duos/trios lacking a reliable means to interrupt nukes. HP bar is less spikey as a result, making the job easier on the healer. Also, if the healer is asleep at the wheel or has an emergency AFK, you aren't reliant on lifetaps alone to stay in the fight.

It's better DPS and potentially opens up another slot for more raw HP, no arguments there.

Epic is the best weapon I have. Not in a guild and not interested in Temple Veeshan, so ToV weapons are off the table for me. Epic does nicely for solo and is extremely nice for duo with the wife's shaman--it complements Torpor nicely since the effects stack. If I had something like a Rocksmasher I'd regard the epic as fluff. It'd probably get equipped once in awhile but for a person with access to such weapons the epic's entirely optional. Not sure why this thread needed to reach 6 pages.

People assuming an argument was being made that epic is best in slot, which was never suggested. Emotions spilled over. Delicate subject, how different imaginary swords measure up.
