I am curious if it is worth it to invest in a shard if I do plan on ultimately getting my epic? I will never be able to raid much so I figure my epic would be the best item I get.

A high lvl sk was telling me in game that the shard is better dps than the epic (at least until Chardok patch).

I wanted others opinions. If dps isn't that much of a difference, I'll just buy a cheaper weapon and save my plat for some epic mq items.

Thanks
