Re: Axe or dagger of bounty
#2my dagger makes 50dmg more then axe depending on gear but with a high str build the dagger is miles better then the axe also has regen wich ehlps with dps (damage PER second). i personally have axe and dagger but oly use axe when i go full vit for pvp.

Re: Axe or dagger of bounty
#3Pini is correct that the dagger can add more damage but this is physical damage which is highly more resisted then elemental. You forget that with a high strength build your getting damage from the 150 strength also. Though the strength cap is passed it still is good to have the 150 extra strength to transfer the points into vitality so you can save more restos. Also if I'm on heroic lixes regen is practically nothing for me.. Not all people want to have high strength builds because they might not be able to afford the resto so the 150 strength is good to xfer into vitality giving you a little more then 1k HP. Though I run a high strength build with frenzy maxed which is very useful btw no one wants to guzzle restos.

#4well its also poison wich isnt resited. and by shatter armour/phys resis goes down alot.ur right hp wise axe is better but i think the bit energy regen saves you more restos on a boss then the hp lix. i do every boss non plat fyi except garnak and eg

#5It adds a little bit of poison which Isnt the main factor of the dps it gives. I have a spec ammy and if I need to use an energy brace I have one. I'd rather have good dps and ok regen(I can step out of combat for a couple secs and get about 400 energy sigs if I need to) rather then have ok dps and O.D on regens. But that's just me thinking dps.. you say regen is dps but who needs the little bit of regen if you have the right gear or sigils? You're saying that f a tank doesn't want to use lixes he'll turn around and use a dagger because the amazing "regen"? I disagree sorry.well its also poison wich isnt resited. and by shatter armour/phys resis goes down alot.ur right hp wise axe is better but i think the bit energy regen saves you more restos on a boss then the hp lix. i do every boss non plat fyi except garnak and eg

Re: Axe or dagger of bounty
#6you turn the facts once more. dagger isnt a tank offhadn and when you have 1000 energy and 400 sigs youll stand around there 10 secs waiting for your sigils to regen. thats not damager per second thats desperatingly waiting to gain dps by using skills. the dagger atleast lowers the anmount of times youll need to pause. and im using a blade ammy and ring wich means im close to set so i do need the regen. also if you have 1 tick regen the break is ok but not under rly

#7You must be playing the wrong class if you think that a warrior is the class people depend on getting their dps from on a boss. Regardless of what your gear is if you are leveling on heroic lixes or scs then regen isn't a big factor and that is what you fail to understand. This guys question was "What is better for leveling for levels 160+ the dagger or axe?" Well as I said the regen from that dagger is garbage if you are on a lix and I'm assuming this guy Is going to lix so he really should go with the axe rather then feeding into your garbage advice. You also say that shatter lowers physical resistance which is true but what about when you don't have shatter? This dagger needs a bit of strength to even get 300 damage which still isn't equivalent to the axe becase the strength from the axe adds damage also. Why do you think majority of rogues pick axe over dagger? Because lots of em don't want to have to rely on a strength build just to get Max dps out of a wep when they can get it with no changes using the axe. All of your facts are invalid..

Re: Axe or dagger of bounty
#8when i have axe i only have 2650 dmg. with dagger 2706. end of list. with a 3 dps skill rupture build and dmg ammy you will get in energy trouble one day he didnt tell us his gear. i do think that i understand a bit more of a warrrior if you dont even have a spear wich is like the only weapon we can get dps from included dl sword. i out dps axe warriors without offhand even and my advice is aiming to best possible dps combinated with cheap lvling. you fail to understand that the mainstream way you are trying to go is maybe good for ur kind of gear but endgame is something completely different. I also think that he isnt the kind of player who lvls to 191 with axe and then goes dagger. so better make him use a actuall usefull endgame offhand.

#9You're both wrong, the 2 handed axe in dustwhitcher Is the best weapon in the game.
