gt are kinda weaksauce imo.. unless you like just draining people and being a trapper/drainer, which is fine I guess.

I see higher stats as being worth it. you get more damage from the stats themselves, not counting the runic or feral base damage being higher. you can make the stats with base vit assuming the items are obtainable. Even a small (keyword: small) investment is worth it imo if you are building on budget. (I know some perfectionists may flame me for that last comment but seriously imo its still true that is better than using gts on a budget build)
When you get someone with a nice triwhirl the damage starts adding up. GvG also, ever catch someone in a whirl and whirl with them in a line? guess what wins out the runic damage or the gt drainer?
Of course if you find that you need a *lot* of stats to wear elite claws with the setup you would use with gt, then it is not worth it for that setup, but the build as a whole is weaker and that is partially why, perhaps time to find better items to make those stats and only use gt as a temp.


this (but regardless, if someone were to follow my guide - they should get enough stats for runics anyways... so theres no point in using GTs)

a lot of people dont understand that, but im glad most of the more respected/recognized sin players do

I still don't think you should waste stats for a minor increase.
If you have enough, use them.
If you don't, or if you have a much better GT claw, use the GT.

i agree with this if you can wear a runic w/o stats added then ofc.
otherwise gt ok.
besides a guide is simply one persons build there are more then one that works.

well, let say both claws are godly (3ls/3venom/3xx wepblock or something) and one is a runic and one is GT. I'd put like 5 points or so to use the runic. i think its worth it, but ofc if it takes too much points, then its not worth it

yeah well if your doing a direct comparison claw to claw runic>gt but if u have to add real stat pts for it it wouldn't be worthwhile in my opinion. 5 or less isnt real stat pts btw in this case. lol

theres no real reason u'd have to add "real stat points" then.... think about it, the claw is only 115, dancers give like 25 right there and u can get a ring that give 15.... the most u'd have to put would be like 10 or so and i'd say it worth it for the damage boost. 10 points in vita wont help all that much anyways.
