This man plans on being buried with a pair of Lammys in the casket! Let's not hate on the fellow! Heheh
They're going in a museum along with my Gran Torino.

Yea but throwing away 1 delay on a primary weapon because of "fashion" is pure loser logic.

Realistically, you can get a 10/19 velium 1hs for like 1k. Lam's are the iMac G3 of melee weapons.

That statement kind of comes off a bit brash man. Isn't that sort of like saying "Yeah but taking a Ranger for DPS when you can get a Monk of equal level is pure loser logic."?

No, it was in response of the winner vs loser comment by Deezy (which I misread).

I'm not literally imbuing these e-items with cultural status. In terms of delay it's just math, it doesn't care about our feelings. One is faster than the other. Do what you want but if you want to do slightly more damage don't go with a slower weapon of the same damage.

Looking cool is important

By that logic I'm not sure why there are so many halflings though

I'm only asking, are the stats really that irrelevent? Is a 9/18 with no stats really better than a 9/19 with 6/6/20 Str/Sta/HP?

The only time it's really a wash is when the stats are massive and it's in an offhand (like the epic). That or it has a great proc for an offhand slot (like the club of the ice ocean) Even at lvl 60 with maxed DW a Ranger's offhand is only swinging like 60-65% of the time. With the damage bonus your MH is doing the bulk share of your dps.

Lam's are just fine now but eventually for a few hundred plat going Jade/crystalline short sword or Jade/Green Jade Axe is technically "better". One of the stronger primary weapons for the money is the Guard Captain's Mallet but not many people use them for fashion sake: https://wiki.project1999.com/Guard_Captain%60s_Mallet These are really nice and have a good look : https://wiki.project1999.com/Polished_Velium_Warsword

How tough is it to get Ranger epic on this server? That's my eventual goal.
