Best Adornment for the SoD?

[Ookami-san]

<p>What adornment is everyone putting on their SoD?  For me, it seems a real toss-up between Life tap and Power tap.  Obviously, the life tap would be better soloing - and do slightly more dps in raid.  But, the power tap would help more in raids... tho you can easily switch to mental breach.</p><p>What's in YOUR wallet?  I mean.. .what's on your SoD?</p>

I really like the +12 dmg piercing one. You're basically turning the high hit from 239 to 251, which is about 5% of it's overall damage, even on the high end. It's more and more of a % if you hit on the low end.This is why those adornments costs so much.

<p>I personally think the +damage adorns are useless, as they scale to your hasted delay. Even if this has been fixed, with higher delays you'll get greater benefits from procs.</p><p>Right now, really the best two adornments are vampiric handle (for dps) or the phantom handle (for power longevity)</p>

But in ACT, none of those ever proc for more than 2% of my total damage. Even with the SoD weapon, which is a long delay, 12 dmg is 5% of 239 dmg. I pull about 45% of my DPS on autoattack, so that's about 2.35% overall.So yeah, they are pretty comprable. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Wouldn't the dmg tack on to the melee crit high hit, though?

Grievance got Mayong tonight, and I got muh upgraded SoD saber. TBH I'm not <u>that</u> impressed with it, maybe the 4.0 delay takes some getting used to.  Needless to say the first adornment I reached for had to be the phantom handle.  It is a god sent.

<p>If you dual weild and have vampiric handle on one, can you get the same adornment on the other weapon and have them both proc?</p><p>re: piercing adornments.   Would you be better off getting the piercing damage +12 or the +5 to pierce?</p>

The +5 adds to your skill. The +12 is 12 damage.    The higher skill supposed to mean you will miss orange mobs less.Depends if you raid and what buffs you get.  When you are in your raid check your skills anything above 440 slash or pierce is great means the +5 adornment not so important so you could go for power / life taps or whatever floats your boat.Well thats least how i understand it to be
