Question about templates - Savage

[Nausilus^^]

Come DR, I'm going to have a couple of templates to chose between. However, I'm quite uncertain which will be better. On the one side, I have 2x spd4.4 sally tails, only resist below 20% is matter, but ToA bonusses aren't that good (note template below)

On the other side I have spd4.2 (Champion claw) in main hand and 4.0 (ml10 claw) in offhand, now both spirit and matter below 20%, but much better ToA bonusses - These are pretty much the only differences between the 2 templates. (EDIT: ALso typed in the +5% melee resists from champion claw, so that's why they are slightly overcapped in the template below)

Any suggestions as to which one would be better, why and/or why not? Any input greatly appreciated

Perhaps try to use sally in main and DR in offhand? Should slow it down a bit and make you hit a bit harder perhaps. As for matter and spirit being below 20% i wouldnt be to concerned. 5% meleeresist will compensate it a few times over.

 

[Inso]

ML10 claw has a nice diseaseproc though? IIRC atleast.

 

[Nausilus^^]

ML10 claw has very nice disease proc and the fact that it will cap style dmg and overcap melee dmg a bit as well.. that's one of the main things I'm wondering here, if the benifits from those 2% melee dmg/style dmg will compensate for using faster claws.

Oh, and another thing, if I understand it correctly, using champion claw in offhand will set its speed to 4.0 - atleast in the page on herald, mainhand speed is 4.2 and offhand speed is 4.0 for both thrust and slash version. Thank you mythic for not gimping savage champion weapons like that..

With zerker 4.1 and 4.2spd diffrence was 3% melee toa.
