Blam Stick Ranger?

[Snaggles]

Does anyone have one on their ranger and how does it pair with the Swiftwind?

I recently got my Swifty and a Crafted Velium Warsword which works nice at lvl 58. It’s certainly good for higher AC mobs. I was thinking of getting a Wurmslayer for DS mobs and realized the Blam was a possibility. Running the MH ratio (2x damage + damage bonus (11) / delay) it’s between the Crafted and a SoZ:

Crafted V. 10/18 = 31/18 = 1.72
Blam Stick 30/40 = 71/40 = 1.775
Swiftblade of Zek 11/18 = 33/18 = 1.83

Unhasted the Blam is slow enough mixing in Call of Flame or later Calefaction might actually make sense. You are likely losing a couple offhand swings but the blam is pretty slow. Slow enough to justify essentially a triple (fire) attack.

Thoughts? Besides of course save for a SoZ and the spell slots.
