I hope it's a consistent proc, because I'd get pretty frustrated if I wear a mob down to 20% or less when it finally goes off and I lost more health than necessary because of bad rng.

If there's a reason I favor Dual-Wield over 2Handers, it's consistency. I like sustained over burst, or peaks and valleys. I'm not a fan of high variance.

Again, its the same thing as why people don't like 2 handers because "it feels bad" when RNG doesn't go their way. The lows are a far greater psychological impact than the highs.

Sometimes you'll slow the mob on the first couple of swings, sometimes it won't proc til you've done 50% of its hp. It'll always be the correct move (when solo) to open with Swarmcaller proc.

But whatever. You can lead a horse to water but can't make him drink. The fact is your thought process is wrong.

I didn't say I disagree with you or that I wouldn't use it, I just said there's a reason why I like the feel of dual-wielding even if it's inferior, and that it'll be pretty frustrating when bad variance hits. I'm still going to commit though, as I want to learn to play the class more optimally, to my benefit and my future guildies as well.

Gotta unwrinkle those jimmies a little man.

End-game for me is a Primal 2her/bow with Avatar. But that's probably years away.
