SK epic vs other weapons, worth?

[Kaedain]

Tunare sword is garbage ?? Or just never going to drop ?

I would be annoyed if I had to choose between my epic and a lance of thunder... Despite the piercing penality its dps is probably better than epic, but stat, resist and proc wise it's much worst...

I had a Eye of the Rigtorgn and Soul Defiler too. Mostly trying to illustrate my odd little anecdote still have the epic some validity even past Kunark. It’s a good weapon and definitely useful but that’s a long and difficult quest (for most) on this server.

I appreciate the conversation about this, a lot of good information. I killed Rharzar and now looking for decrepit hide MQ. Gbank has a leech I believe but the hole kill is going to be annoying to get a group down there - most of my free time is weekends and we know what top tier guilds do on the weekend on this server. The other hurdle is the sky drop because my guild doesn't do it anymore, bigger fish to fry - I guess I'll be looking for another MQ on that too.

Solo'd the mimic part back in Kunark, duo'd mummy with a shaman. Worst part about the Hole is getting the ghost to spawns.

Per p99 wiki 2hpierce caps at same skill level as 2hs and 2hb. Unless these values are wrong there seems to be no draw back to using a 2hp weapon other than the retarded animation of the swing.

Isn't SK/Pally piercing capped at 210 in lieu of 225 until the 2h bonus patch drops?

Correct, SK cap is 210.

I don't know, wiki may be wrong is why i ask.

Pally cap offense 5point lower than sk but got the same piercing cap as other weapon, sk got a much lower piercing cap on p99...
To summarize, sk are better with all blunt and slash weapon, pally are better with piercing...
Bottom line, let a pally guildie loot that lance of thunder...
