Which weapon to pick from Sanctum of Fear quest

[Dashel]

Man this is a tough choice for me.Consider: I have no really good 2 handers right now, so Monsoon is tempting me. However, I should hit 50 this week so I'll have plenty of time to work on stuff like EBBC and Heiro Crook. Second, I have as my 1 hander a Pristine Forged Fulginate Assault Axe. Blood Fire is a nice upgrade there, with no really good heritage counterpart that I can think of right now. But, I dont go sword and shield too often.Third, my primary weapons are SBD and SSOY. Would Bone Razor be a good pick to upgrade from SSOY? Any advice?

<DIV>Blood Fire is a pretty good choice there with its stats and such however there is screaming mace heritage that you can consider, since the proc even it say lower agro, it seem to generate more agro from its buff than its deagro. Bone Razor totally not worth it. Monsoon is pretty weak as well, and as you said, there is always EBBC out there if you dont have access to raid / master drop weapon.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <P>Message Edited by Frosin on <SPAN class=date_text>03-15-2005</SPAN> <SPAN class=time_text>09:01 AM</SPAN></P><p>Message Edited by Frosin on <span class=date_text>03-15-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:03 AM</span>

<DIV>To be honest, i would lose the SBD for the Bone Razor, Bone Razor and SSoY are a sweet combo, nice stats, nice damage, fast, 2 procs. I was never a real big fan of SBD, so when i finally finish my access ill be chosing Bone Razor for sure, plus if i wanted to 2 hand fight, id just use my EBBC or Heirophant Crook, which i never 2 hand fight.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Bone Razor man, all the way. :smileywink:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Taemek Frozenberg 44th Berserker<BR>16th Outfitter<BR>Blood and Ice<BR>Everfrost Server<BR><BR>Enlightened Aonein Amillion ( retired )<BR>70th Stone Fist of The Celestial Fist<BR>Five Rings on Luclin Server</DIV>

<DIV>I just did this quest last night and it was very late so I made a hasty decision.  Even though I have a crook I still went with the monsoon for two reasons.  One, I like to collect 2 handers for some weird reason...maybe it's a fetish.  The other reason is having multiple damage types in your bag for raid mobs.  Some mobs are immune to crush...others immune to pierce etc.  I haven't really been interested enough in the ebbc to buy 5-7 plat worth of items to make it.  The monsoon only costed 5 g /shrug.  The 7% haste is decent even though the damage isn't as good as the HQ 2 handers.  Honestly, the winder[expletive ninja'd by Faarbot]s or whatever it's called might be the best choice with it's resist debuff proc.  It might add nice hate on each proc.  The blood fire everyone talks about really doesnt look that great to me...the proc looks weak....or does it do more damage than the examine windows states?</DIV>

Yeah screaming mace seems made for casters to me. Priests actually I guess. Not a chance I'd use it so that's out. I'll be raiding more and more so hopefully a 1 hander will come along or I'll just try to farm an extra ebon to have something nice made for the times I do tank with a shield.EBBC is gonna be a pain for me, I dont have berriks and never see sword of thunder for sale at any price. Bah. Probably gonna come down to Monsoon or Bone Razor. Whats the proc on Bone Razor do anyway? DD?

If Monsoon was a 2hand piercer I'd pick it in a heartbeat.

<DIV>Like I said it was late....but I think someone linked the razor and it had a very low DD proc on it.  For some reason all the examine windows for each weapon didn't show their procs or effects.  I had to ask in guild for links....lame.   If you have an ebbc I'd take the windershin 1 hander or the razor....everything else is junk.</DIV>

Too bad the EBBC looks like a rusted piece of [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] ..... I have a Hiero crook atm and i really think a Moonsoon sword is better then you think ( esp with how much haste we have plus items hastes? Yeah they stack )

It has +40 str. And an amazing damage, since is a long delay.And we need long delay weapons, since we have tons of haste.When it procs, it lowers hate with like 250. But the buff itself generates more hate, as someone else already mentioned.I used it today on a raid mob , with 17 other ppl in the raid i NEVER lost aggro.You might wanna reconsider.

<DIV>Sanctum of fear quest?  Where does that start?</DIV>

[doraemon]

<DIV>Dashel, to be honest, do not sweat about it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Frankly I dont want to be pessimist or sounds elitist or just a whinner, but the weapons available for that quest just plain sucks.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I had the opportunity to check them one by one, before completing the quest and I wasnt believing the quality of the weapons, I already had better weapons.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Oh well, anything you get you are going to have better stuff sooner or later (assuming you already dont have).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Myself I got the 1h blunt because it could proc a -1k resist debuff for poison I guess.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If it was procing it was showing no msg or it just broken.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The weapon rewards are poor, hopefully they will enhance them later to be more powerful, since this quest is very high level, and of course we the guys who already did it we are going to lose the chance to go back and get the best weapon for our needs, ah sorry now im whinning.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>/shrug</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
