Epic enables 2 hand bash, so if you're using a 2 hander, dropping in epic to interrupt is easier than dropping in a 1 hander and a shield
Might not need to worry about it if you're an inferior race like troll or ogre tho. | ||

Anyhow, that trickle of healing does practically nothing. If AOE'S are that big of a problem, you use wort pots. And the only time the epic would be even remotely useful in a duo/trio would be if there is literally no healing. Rocksmasher is just that much better than the epic. | |||

You seem to have a very poor understanding of game mechanics.

Another takeaway from the linked thread... SKs pull, or at the very least assist with pulling. Rocksmasher has no resists, Innoruuk's Curse has plenty. Resists are necessary. They can't be overemphasized. You can never have enough of them. It also has 2H bash, which means if you're pulling a caster and it's casting on you, there's the opportunity to run back and bash interrupt the ice comet or whatever, without swapping weapons. As others have said, the epic is a well-rounded weapon for survivability. It complements vampiric embrace/shroud of death (small procs), but it isn't the best for any one thing other than regaining health. Rocksmasher is a DPS weapon with stats that tanks need. It even has AC, which the epic lacks, but again no resists which are high on the list for pullers and the SK spellbook doesn't offer great resists like the paladin's. Granted, there are PoM flowers, along with a plethora of shields and one-handers to swap out to for resists, but that's another conversation. | |||

I’d always want the epic even if it’s one of many weapons. This is a time locked server and I still got my IC on live via Luclin when it wasn’t very good. Primarily I used it for jousting, pulling, fashion, and bashing with skelly illusion since you lose slam.
In this era it provides a bit of healing on raids and a lot for group content. Knights often are seen self sufficient for AoE damage (even if it means burning worts on some stuff). You should get Druid heals or torp if lucky but being able to top off hps is often better than eeking out every last dps. White damage the epic is quite a bit lower ( 20%-30% I expect, more if you can’t cap haste without the Rocksmasher). The dot though while rolling is 50/tick so that’s 8dps added that the parser won’t pick up. 8dps is pretty massive even if it’s not always up. The fact kunark epics stand up so well still is a testament they were making an effort to balance up to where p99 cuts off. Can’t say much past that but that’s why they started doing 1.5/2.0 quests I guess. | ||
