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

Whether or not an epic is a waste of time is purely subjective. I’m sure there have been some people that got their epic and maybe regretted it after upgrading to a higher end one (doubt it). Believe it or not there are a hell of a lot more people that come back to p99 wanting an epic weapon over some random BiS weapon. In regards to the SK epic, as someone who plays for fun and occasionally roleplays and most importantly cares about fashion, it is definitely worth it. Rocksmasher in comparison to IC looks like trash, nobody cares about a damn hammer from tov.

Sorry you dont got rocksmasher, hope that helped.

Nobody is impressed with a Rocksmasher pal (or any pixel on this game) but go ahead and keep thinking so. I’ll just continue to stroke my dick to a real man’s weapon, it’s quite enjoyable.

Wow this took a turn, lol.

It’s still a good jouster (duels). Good skelly bash weapon (or small sk) when you prefer an one click 2h bash swap, good fashion weap. I guess if you know you won’t get heals a decent RNG lifeboat if it will land on the target. Stalling a guardian kozz? Might buy you a little time. Killing greens in Droga? Prob one of the better options. Fear kite on a stunt kill nibbling down your hps? Swap in and hope for an early proc.

Does it parse like a 40/45? No, that dot adds a lot. Does it parse like a 1.15% ToV weapon with 41% haste? No.

I’d still get it. Because this is a game for grown-babies. Enjoy being spoiled by all the toys. Just get it if it will make you happy.

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.

The situations where you should use an epic over a weapon like a rocksmasher is when you don't have access to a weapon like a rocksmasher.

Also, I'd put 100k on epic over rocksmasher for farming Gargoyle Guardians.

But honestly, your first mistake is to bring your SK to a high end raid fight in the first place [You must be logged in to view images.

Just park your SK at the entrance so they can be CoTHed up for loot if that is what you are looking for.

No.

If you're into solo'ing, pursue a Willsapper.

I got epic purely for aestetic reasons. I had Frostreaver and Meljeldin, bane of Giants before I got it and I rarely use it other than looking hella swag and slamming as a skellie (ruined my day when I found out skellies were utter bashlets).
Sure man do it, I love that flashy skull sword! But don't count on it to be any good! The procc is too weak to make a difference when soloing.
Frostreaver on the other hand is an amazing weapon for pulling massive aggro and the meljeldins 45/38 stats make you compete with... ummm badly geared other classes.
It made me get on the dps list on vindi, which is basically my biggest dps accomplishment, also it has no procc which always is good for not generating raid leader aggro!
