So Bard epic finally came down to earth prices, eh?

I have a Vyemm whip and claw of lightning in my bag. It’s sad but even with a spiked belt and shiss the Cek 2h is often higher.

There are still reasons to DW. Stats and proc. Mixing it up. Quick swapping to tash/slow/bfg for a ranger. But yea…2h is very very strong.

Maybe what I'll do is save 100k to twink my Ranger just a bit more for a reroll but not go for SBoZ or BoC. It'll be Woodsman's Staff (and Silver Swiftblade before the damage cap is lifted), Spiked Seahorse Hide Belt, Hierophant's Cloak, Necklace of Superiority, and Fungi. Can probably swing all of that for 100k even.

I’d go with herb spade over wood staff if you don’t mind the look. Better ratio and 2h dmg bonus and at 49+ the root does help a lot if you need to heal a bit during combat which rangers definitely need to at some point. It’s also good for some occasional cc since their normal root sucks.

Why didn't anybody else mention the Herbalist Spade?

Many of the posters giving advice levelled their rangers on Blue some years ago (before Chardok) and now have epics / tov / city boss stuff on their rangers so Chardok may be a little outside their scope of consideration.

So the spade didn't exist before Velious? Does the Spade beat the Woody? I'd rather not get both, pick one or the other. I'll be using Silver Swiftblade before 30 anyway, damage cap and all.

How about you? Do you and Snaggles recommend the spade over a Woody?

Woody is ugly anyway, so looks are irrelevant here; it's just a question of if the Spade is indeed better overall damage from 30 on.

It's only a 0.02 point different, 0.88 vs 0.90.

But I wish people would stop telling me to just look at the wiki. I want feedback from seasoned veterans with years of knowledge and experience to explain the how and the why. I value peoples opinions on matters like this.
