2 handers work better on dragons

“”””bane of giants”””” is a bluff?!

Meljeldin will result in far less enrage deaths. Also, easier to start in right away and just keep jolting without any dps loss (it’s my gold standard for VS/R). It’s a cheap buy since it’s mostly bought by knights and rangers. Primal axes are the second cheapest Avatar weapon so the budget synergy is really nice.

I swap weapons all the time. Sometimes function, often to avoid being bored. The Essence mace and Vyemm whip is a worse combo for killing vindi but better for surviving and is +35 MR over the 2h (see below).

Obvious to those who know.

If dying to enrage is a problem, you have bigger things to worry about than min maxing your ranger dps...

Luckily knight tanking is common place as is burning scepters. It’s not a common problem and definitely not one a DW fan can’t adapt to.

ive said many times, if you want a budget dps setup, and dont plan to trick out your ranger, Yeli gloves into Bane of Giants is a solid play for sure.

The other fantastic budget setup is Kriezenn's flame paired with Swiftwind.

My problem with bane of giants, its not a great stat/resist stick AND it loses out of the utility of 1 hand procs, which for rangers is just huge....

Yea if you’re trying to top dps with bane 2h as a ranger then you’ve already lost. 1h all day for way better stats / procs / utility / sustain
