Vulak Axe vs. Tunare Sword

[Duik]

Beggers begging. Then denying they want what is begged for.

Mental health is important.

I'm glad I went Tunare sword on my paladin.

Procs aren't reliable enough for most players to strategize around so they're just a bonus. The thing with root is half the time it is nice for pallies, rangers and tanking warriors I guess but the other half it is a liability when soloing as it stops the free damage you get from flee/fear, which is a lot more inefficient than the mana you save from root. Only situations where that isn't a problem is if you planned on bow rotting, fighting undeads or areas where a fleeing mob would be detrimental as a pally, which is pretty niche.

Since you can't turn on/off the procs you have to pick if you want to carry an extra weapon or if you're ready to deal with the downsides. That's a lot more considerations than you'd want for something that you probably shouldn't have to think about especially considering there are weapons with similar ratios that are hassle free.

I swap weapons all the time because of the procs involved.

If the fleeing mob is rooted just bandage / bp / regen / rebuff up for a minute? Or just keep fighting it anyway as you’re clearly winning.

Doesn’t seem like that big of a problem.

I think I’ve said it before but anyone complaining about the proc is theorycrafting. People who loot this have a bagged epic, frostwrath, Rocksmasher or Great Spear of the dawn. Maybe even a primal.

This is not a problem…

If it is just one fight it doesn't matter but if you're grinding, when soloing it is a couple hundreds extra damage every fight. With longer roots you'll prevent them from fleeing on most mobs.

So you're going to dance around a proc on most fights to save 60 mana? How much would it cost you to heal that unnecessary damage? At least as a ranger you can just finish it bow rotting but why do that when you could just melee it otherwise?

I mean, I liked the idea of getting a spade but the more I think about it the more it could be annoying until I get a tolan's bracer. I'll still get one anyway, not saying it is terrible, just that it adds more variables to deal with.

I use a Sledge of Smashing +Sevalak Shield more often than I go 2handed. AC makes a huge difference and bashing without hot swapping to epic is nice and easy.
