Eth Vs Non Eth Arioc's Needle

I have a 4/229 Eth Arioc, but found a 4/229 Non Eth running around so I figured I'd show this.

Eth doesn't seem necessary. It still destroys.

47K-85K For Ethereal
44K-76K For Non Ethereal

With 399% Phoenix
57K-105K Eth
54K-94K Non eth

yikes! yes looks like destruction either way

I'll tell you an insane secret:

It's a bad meme weapon just like fort. Just use eth insight. You already one shot everything. Insight gives way more utility.

Looks like ES is OP but I am no expert

yea but that thing can carry a protector stone with no bug

so, you realized that an eth arioc isn't needed because a non-eth arioc still destroys

wait til you realize that an arioc isn't needed at all because there are other superior weapons that also destroy

People hear "this weapon does 2.152% more DPS than fortitude, which does 1.937% more DPS than insight" and they just zero in on that, regardless of which is actually better.

Insight, Death, Fort. Arioc's... It doesn't matter at all. You do hundreds of thousands of damage in one attack. Just use whichever one you have readily available, honestly. And usually that ends up being eth insight.
