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.

Also if you have a Rocksmasher it's not a matter of IF you can get the epic but WHEN you will. Even if it's a vanity item, the OP is well likely to get one and occasionally use it.

Is it worth it? Sure, what else do you do in this silly time locked elf sim?

Ratio/stats are amazing, but the root proc is a problem when fear kiting. You still need a great non-rooting weapon, like Rocksmasher, Avatar 2H, Ancient Fire Etched Flamberge, etc. And Epic is still good for the lifesteal proc.

Tunare Sword is better on Paladin as a general main weapon, since they have root built into their kit already.

One weapon does more damage
The other does less damage

Only keep the weapon that does the most damage.

SK epic is amazing and nice looking, but there are better weapons in ToV.

I said this Direct to one of the top people on P99.

I don't mean disrespect, It's just the truth. And I don't want to rain on the SK's day who has worked so hard to achieve it. but it is a waste of time. :*(
