Might want to have one of them imbued. Beyond that, you're good.

[btennison]

Thanks, I was thinking about that. As I understand it, I need only to have one (strong hand) imbued. :smileytongue:

[Jay]

Yeah, gleaming strike procs on two DW weapons don't stack, but I don't know if it matters where the imbued weapon is equipped.

<DIV>get the leafblade imbued, being a slower weapon it will have more chance to proc</DIV>

[dubbs]

You can get them both imbued, just get one imbued to a lesser quality.  i.e. Paley Imbued.  Both procs will go off.

<DIV>I wouldnt get the leaveblade imbued.</DIV> <DIV>When you imbue cobalt it puts sta on it and take away str and agi. And since the str is higher on the leafblade, youd need to decide which was more important:</DIV> <DIV>Proccing about what, 5%  more often...I dont know the numbers, so Im not arguing that.</DIV> <DIV>What I am arguing is if you get the axe imbued, its str will go down to 9, so its a loss of 2 str, however if you imbue the leafblade the str still goes down to 9, so thats a loss of 6 str.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have the cobalt axe non imbued, and I think I should have gotten it imbued, for the reason I stated. Cause we rangers, at least this ranger doesnt melee often at all, I mean hardly ever, so the increased str is more important than a proc that I will never use.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just a little more info so ya know <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV><p>Message Edited by Caelum on <span class=date_text>01-05-2006</span> <span class=time_text>09:21 AM</span>

<font size="2">The non-imbued leafblade and imbued crescent axe is a combination I use from time to time and I like it a lot.  The only combination I've found that I like better is the prismatic swiftblade and the cobalt leafblade during raids...primarily because of the +25 strength of the prismatic and the power regen.  I've actually got a couple of the fabled t6 dual wield weapons, but I find myself rarely using them because of the lack of procs and inferior stats.</font><div></div>

<P>Ya, if your getting 2 cobalt weps, I would only have 1 imbued cuz the chance to proc wont stack and the gleaming strike will go off on both hands. So if it's STR your after I would have the leafblade non imbued and than any other wep imbued.</P> <P>Leoric<BR>Level 60 ranger</P>

I STRONGLY recommend getting BOTH imbued, some people disagree, but here is why I think it's worth it.Sure only one procs, but the difference in price is only a few gold, on my server it was a 5-7g difference when I was pricing my tier6 weapons.REASON 1: Most of your damage will come from your bow, especially in raids, but you can boost that even higher if you work at it (spend coin, or work for a fabled). If you're using the imbued ironwood bow, neither dual wields will proc, BUT if you can get the Valian bow, you've now gotten 2 procs off of your bow, (of course if you can add in a fabled dual that procs, and you're up to 3.)REASON 2: Which fabled will drop first piercing or slashing? If you imbue both now you'll always have one procing, if you don't get them both imbued, you're losing out on damage.I have two imbued cobalt weapons, in raids neither is equipped, I have a Tier 5 fabled piercer (Procs) and my PGT until I get my Prismatic. (I almost cried when we res ed Vox and I realized I hadn't talked to the sage *again*.)
