Adornments for a 2hander and 1hander

[raziel205]

i got a nice 2 hander axe for my SK to use when tanking easy mobs or going dps in a group. was wondering what adornment to take. does the 3% chance to hit mobs in front of u proc pften enough tbh? or do i go for the dmg procs or the riposte/parry procs ( cant remmeber which one of them 2 it is sry ). For a one hander was wondering if the vampire handle was worth it in terms of rate of proc/heals to the amount of dmg u will be taking or already healing at lvl 70 ( this is against T7 instance mobs btw) thx

Piggybacking on the O.P. does anyone know if the adornment for 20% haste on a 2 hander stacks with other hastes yet?

I dont know about the 20% haste. I dont knwo about hte 2 hander thing either. But as a crusader (both paladin / sk) for a 1 hander. Phantom > Vampiric. You have enough life taps the phantom will proc enough. Crusaders are MASSIVE mana leaks and i am sure you notice your pr drops pretty rapidly. Also more pr is more lifetaps to cast so Phantom > Vampiric imo.

Agreed. I have no problem staying alive as long as I have power. When my power runs out though, I die, fast. So a small heal, or a small power drain? Well, the good crusader will turn that small power drain into a big heal.

well i use the jade inlaid crescent axe which has a 3.5 sec delay on it with dmg og 53-300. The axe comes with 20 haste on it though...so maybe try a 20 haste adorn? then will alos stack with my haste from str line? just want to axe peeps who might have tried this already instead of wasting alot of plat on these adorns

20% haste adornment on weapon *WILL* not stack with haste gear such as FBSS, etc..   2% haste adornment for belt will stack, however..  I had been feedbacking to SOE since EOF's launch about why 20% haste adornment will not stack to no avail..

I use +10 defense adornment on my fabled 2h cuz I solo and group tank alot with 2h instead of 1h/shield in most areas without any problem even with 1 healer in group.. I only use 1h/shield in difficult areas tho..  2h is best used for trampling AA for awesome dps so that's why I added +10 defense so I only have 9% avoidance difference by switching to shield so I won't feel much diffence in tanking power with 2h unless I am fighting against lvl 71+ heroic mobs then shield does better job..

I use vampiric adornment for my 1h over phantom because of nice 68% spell crit working off vampiric while nothing on power.. Plus, I don't have real problem with power and I do much better job with vampiric for my situation anyway..

For my 2hand I have a DD adornment, but I chose the Phantom handle for my 1h, just cuz I hate haveing to slow the grp down to get power back.  The power drain to the mob realisticly doesnt do much to change the way the fight goes, but the 140ish power tap is nice.
