Sup my doods

I got tierd of not doing enough dmg with my vt vs zon and other classes. So I picked this up



Thought with a good amount of dmg it'd be better then honor foh scepter? After I got the 2os on it I figured the best option would be just 2x 24 max jewels. Or 20 ed 15 max? Or some kinda weird max dmg stat jewel?

Lmk what you guys think :thumbsup:

If you want more charge damage then what do you have against Honor?

+1/3/3/10 rep/160%ed/25% ds

What it is that you have a problem with?

Just make any din around 3/3 divine honors.

I dont run a 103 str set up. I main a 65 str set up. So a war scepter honor doesnt do as much dmg as a divine honor. I'm thinking this would be better as a 65 str war scepter for charge on my vt.

Not sure what jewels and if the dmg would > honor war scepter

An honor ws would do 35-55 (45 avg)
Yours would do 15-93 (54 avg)

Imo an extra skill and 25% chance to double dam is worth more than 9 average dam. You also get 250 attack rate on honor, which is actually relevant because im sure your charge ar wont be very high.

yeah but if you look at your build as a whole, would the extra str from a divine beat out the 38 extra str you'd need to acquire it? Probably. If not, you could say the same thing about Honor War Scepter. 1/3/3/160ed/10rep/25% DS - what's not to like vs a magical scept?

45 avg + 25% from honor deadly strike is 56 avg dmg.

and yes, as someone who has a foh based 30, the AR is very fucking useful to have for charge, even more so if you arent using 3/xx/15s

DS is better, 1 skill all around will boost shit too. rep is better, live to charge another day. also gives u options to use the 10 str for certain swaps up to 73 str if there are any.

but i agree with bel, use a divine. the life lost will not be as big of a deal as the dmg u gain. especially on crits. brings 1 shots or close into range vs zons.

u could also carry a +holy shield + medi scepter on swap, and have a +2pcomb shield jeweled with +10 str, to glitch on ur divine.

Also, I'm sure he is wearing a Sol'd circlet or Sol'd pcrown

Get another circlet with dmg/str jewels or go cheap and use 2x P ammy.

I cant see 14 DR being that helpful vs a non smiter or kicker.
