Would you still get SK epic if you already have a Rocksmasher?

See above and thank you!

SK Epic is still good for the lifesteal proc. That is a nice way to heal yourself during combat. But obviously there are many better ratio weapons out there for your white damage, such as Rocksmasher.

It becomes more of a swap weapon to use when you need to regain some HP while soloing, you are tanking in a group where your white damage doesn't matter much, you are fighting an AoE battle of some kind where the healers need your help to not die so fast, etc.

Weapons for melee in the endgame are like spells. Collecting a variety for different instances is valuable.

Epic amazing for soloing, grouping.

Rocksmasher for DPS role.

Shield and a defensive 1 hander for when you are tanking in HOT or wherever.

Keep a Stave of Shielding in your back pocket to proc a free buff.

tl;dr: Yes still worth it!

Absolutely worth it. One of the coolest quests in the game. Wins fashion quest. Incredible for soloing/questing. Helps considerably if fighting anything with an aoe.

Also stacks with greenmist proc. Do that quest too :-)

I absolutely wouldn't bother. Rocksmasher has awesome stats, a great ratio, and amazing haste if you don't already have a 40% or 41% haste item.

Epic has a little proc on it that you won't even notice in a group or raid.

the answer is no, waste of money time and effort.

Ok?

Yes, but only for fashion. Zero other reason.

The proc shines when soloing and farming content, but it's still very decent for group content especially duos and trios which are more common now on blue. It isn't even bad on raids versus AEs, to prevent low HP aggro. And it rarely ever sees a resist, even on those raid targets. Plus it fills a buff slot, potentially taking a dispel instead of the substantial buffs you have to ask other classes for. But forgetting all of that, if 1.5s are ever added, and I've seen a player wielding Innoruuk's Voice on blue, than there's another reason to get it.
