Weapon of choice

[Marcus75]

I am more confused than usual at the moment - I dont know what to use as my weapons.

Two examples:

* My savage got among the best dropped/artifact-weapons ingame and I was planning on using those in my new toa-template.

* My sb got a mp mainhand axe and I got a mending tincture I intend to use for it.

But now I hear that legendary weapons are the best? So here comes a few questions:

1, The elemental damage they do is it comparable to regular weapons of the same speed and quality until the debuff goes in?`

2, Is the debuff a proc that can trigger or is it going to affect all blows?

3, What should I use in your opinion? Good crafted gear and/or artifacts? All legendary weapons? Or some other mix?

Any ideas, thougts and actual experience from legendary weapons is much appreciated.

well, from being bashed by dwera's legendary weapons i have to say it hurts

with debuffing DD as proc too for that damage type it can REALLY hurt sometimes

im planning on using legendary on my SB but only for SB since its freaking expensive :/

(saw a cold 1h hammer for 6p today )

Artifact weapons will outdamage legendary in general... but both suffer from the glorious new decay rates

Only if your a stealther really, or Solo a lot. Against groups your also facing resist buffs which'll cut down on your dmg even if the debuff goes off. Their supposedly good for PvE though, can't say I speak from personal experience however - their way to frigging expensive for me to even consider it yet

if u r stealther, get belt of sun and u use weapon from the lvl 10 ability creat weapon.
If grped use crafted weapon or artifact.

Use Belt of the Sun weapons in PvE, artifacts in RvR and you're sorted.

It also summons a Role-Play 'tea set' which lets you access the hidden '/tea-break' emote. Worth getting imo.

Although the belt of the sun weaps don't proc in PvE and will be difficult to fit into templates.

Personally i'm sticking with my 99 crafted hammer and my foe hammer in pve for the time being and when i finally get the belt of the sun to 10 i'm going to test the effectiveness of the debuff in conjunction with my instas in RvR

 

[Sigurd]

You can produce them ad infinitum though... so they're the cheapest way, for those of us who can't farm 5+ plat a day

It does proc. The damage part works just fine unlike the debuff part.
