It looks like OT hammer though, terrible fashion fail.

<Gasp> that’s worth the time to VP key in and of itself!

Fashionquest is end game priority…

I've done extensive parsing with various combinations of kunark weapons. Best DPS combo is Wu fist/SoS followed by T-staff if you account for proc damage. T staff is even better than Bo Staff of Trorsmang if you account for 2 procs per minute, assuming max DEX.

This only applies to Green in the current timeline.

Can confirm it feels really bad equipping Facesmasher because of the poor fashion- However it is an incredible budget item because its 4th BiS or whatever so no one wants it - I have also accidently gated myself because I thought I had the Facesmasher on and i had OT hammer equipped (more than once)

In Velious era, is there a rule of thumb for how to determine which mobs to use 2hb on vs epic?

When fighting a high AC mob (let’s say like a King Tormax?) if you should use epic, do you keep SoS in offhand? I suppose there’s no benefit from damage bonus so you just go with best ratio.

Yes, SoS offhand. Don't use epic on a mob with a damage shield. Do use epic on mobs you're trying to push.

Push does basically nothing now.

That's lame. I guess if you're a monk with an epic then, buy a bunch of instant click Gnomish Fireworks, keep those on you at all times and when you need to look like you're doing something useful, spam the crap out of them.

2 handers get a high dmg bonus, but it doesn't scale up with the slower delay as much as it should. The sweet spot is actually around 30ish delay, that's why Tstaff gets closer to Shovel of the Harvest and other Ntov 2handers than you think it would.
