Ok, so, yesterday we were running some scenarios and I noticed Skreavar (a guild mate's Marauder) had a sweet looking weapon on his un-mutated arm.
I inspected him and found out it was one of the Colossus weapons. a Mesis Djaf, to be more precise.
Looking at it's stats I got kinda pissed cuz it had more stats than a Ur Khsar Odji, which made me fly to LOTD after a couple more scenarios just to check if I was wrong about the stats or not.
Surprise surprise!!!
Most of you probably know what I'm gonna say next, but I only noticed it yesterday (yheap, I know. I'm kinda slow.. but hey, I play an orc.. I'm expected to be slow on the head)
THE CHOPPAS GOT SHAFTED!!!
I mean... if you consider Destro's 3 MDPS classes, the choppa has the shortest end of the stick when it comes to weapons bought with pages from the Liber Mortis...
Let's take a look at the WE's dagger:
Sweet looking thing tbh.
Nice crit (10% crit if you use 2 of these babies.. niiiice) and some pretty cool MP going on there
the STR isn't that bad either, and the same goes for the DPS
all in all, I like them. They could be better (I wouldn't complain if they had a talisman slot hehe) but they're pretty awesome and I wanna have their babies
Now let's look at the Marauder's hammer:
Not too shabby.
same DPS and Crit as the WE dagger up there, but less Strength and MP.
ok so it has +3 AP per second. that's a nice bonus. But does it really make up for losing 14 STR and 11 MP compared to the dagger? I honestly think not!
But still, it's a nice piece of gear that I wouldn't mind using if i was a Marauder with a page of the liber mortis lying around and some spare funerary masks burning a whole in my pocket.
and now, the focus of this post...
the Choppa axe:
same DPS as the two above.. ok
same Speed, same crit chance
oh nice. it has more AP regen than the Marauder's hammer. I'm liking it already!
hmm 2 less STR than the hammer... ok I can live with that.. I mean, it must be to compensate the extra AP point per second.
and now let's check the... errr... WAIT A MINUTE!!!! NINETEEN MELEE POWER???????
let me get this straight WE get 44, Marauders get 33 and Choppas get 19????????
that's almost HALF of the Marauder's hammer stat (14 difference) and, dare I say it... LESS than half of the WE's dagger (25 diference!!!!!!!)
what's going on here? I mean, honestly...
Let's assume there is a WE out there dual wielding those daggers
and let's also assume there's a choppa somewhere dual wielding those axes
They should be comparable weapons as we are talking bout same archetypes and same source of gear.
How can a difference of 50 MP and 32 STR compare to the 8 AP per second???
what gives, Mythic???
