<DIV>for groups:</DIV> <DIV>the fastest weapon you can get for HTL </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>for soloing:</DIV> <DIV>the slowest weapon you can get (better weapon damage when use with CAs)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>for raids:</DIV> <DIV>crush>slash>pierce</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>here are some options (slowest):</DIV> <DIV>ebon assault axe 2.0 (slash)</DIV> <DIV>ebon ritual dagger 1.8/ebon spear (pierce)</DIV> <DIV>ebon morning star 2.3 (crush)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>fastest:</DIV> <DIV>ebon scimitar 1.4 (slash)</DIV> <DIV>battle hammer 2.0 (crush)</DIV> <DIV>ebon dirk 1.5 (pierce)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>since crush weapons can be made out of cedar too (which typically costs 1/3 or 1/4 of ebon) and many raid mobs are resistant to piercing I would recomend slash weapon.</DIV> <DIV>Assult axe has slightly better stats (more str and int), scimitar is little better for holding agro (and looks better imho) but honestly whatever you pick, it is not going to make a huge difference</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

A really slow 2h would work as well, especially for soloing or if you're not MT. If you're MT on raids (or plan to be) and such then the Assult Axe might be your best option.

<DIV>Being a crafted weapon which will be imbued, a lower delay would give you more chances to proc. I don't know how that would stack up against the whole longer delay = more dps thing though.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Evo Shandor on <span class=date_text>08-01-2005</span> <span class=time_text>10:21 PM</span>

Stupid question... Would DWing imbued ebon proc twice as much as using a 2h?  Or twice as much as 1h for that matter? Or is the proc rate on DW cut in half so that all set ups proc equally? <div></div>
