BIS WEAP TIER DMG -
Insight eth cv ~58 crit - 35k
4 skill arioc eth 216ed (but unjeweled) - 37k
eth death decap 372ed roll - 39k


each comes with different variables such as how to reach 100 ds, qol, items u can use in place of (such as no goreider, no hlord, no guillames)

BUT THATS IT, THE RAW DMG OF THE TOP 3 ES LOCK WEAPS

Hmm no mentions of Ebotd war pike , Thundermaul

Or Fort for its 25%Fcr?


botd i rule out because you cant hit enough DS even with hlord say 35 + 30 from guill/goreider = 65, then lev mastery 30, not enough

fort i put in same class with doom

let me think in real time - 20% + 35% HL + (have to wear it) - guill 15% + gore15% = 85% DS, coupled with ~ 30 crit

wouldnt risk the non crit whatsoever and forces u to use guillames - but for argument sake, let's see what a high pure damage weap does -

i have an obedience 1058 dmg - it does - 42k


so it wins in raw dmg but its all about 100% crit imo, im coming from a pvp perspective btw

My sheet dmg with eth CV insight is only 17k...

Eth ariocs with gores and gface is literally amazing. Sheet damage isn't as high but crit chance is 99% and the +4 skills is great

disclaimer edit this is on my hc lock which is ungeared, will gain a lot more dmg, and the weapon damages may shift

for pve, dmg being already one shotting anything p8, I like to get max fcr for quality of life, faster teleports, it enables phoenix without losing fcr 125%, eth forti that is

until u r face to face hostile with another es lock with 100% cap ds and he crits 1 shot u,

urs misfires and doesnt crit takes him to 400hp but ur dead

EDIT - i see u changed pvp to pve, and i agree then, qol is #1 pve as long as u balance it with enough damage

Teach me how to get to 50k sheet dmg with typical setup. As soon as I switched to Enigma from Horazon's set, my dmg was cut in half. So sad.

U replace the 350 ed u lost from horazons with phoenix monarch which is 350-400ed

shako makes up for the skill loss

or COA for damage reduce
