Vengeance weapon (2 choices)

Hi,

what would be a better weapon for avenger?

1. Silence zerker axe reaching 9fps
2. Silence phase blade reaching 8fps

Thank you :teeth:

[EDIT]: PvM wise

8 frames is 11% faster than 9 frames.

If you calculated the nominal average damage for the two weapons, the zerker would be the more damaging (not necessarily the "better") weapon if it does 12% more average damage than the PB.

Need to know levels of vengeance and whatever aura you're using for this calculation. However, PB does 31-35 base damage and zerker 24-71. The zerker will do far more than 12% more average damage than the PB. Also, zerker outranges PB (3 vs. 2).

I'm using Silence PB on my Frost Zealot, mostly for the resists, and I'm happy with it. It looks cool, especially with Enchant. :thumbsup: Physical damage is low, though.

Go with phase blade. The biggest problem with my avenger is slow attack speed. He does tons of dmg but that doesnt' matter if he swings slow and misses frequently.

Thx for the response guys. I would have to get more ias for the 9fps zerker anyway. So I'll go the PB way.

I wouldnt use any silence weapon on a melee char.

The 25% Hit Causes Monster to Flee is just too annoying IMO.

I agree completely. Fleeing monsters suck less you got overwhelmed and even then with a melee char i'm usually gonna live long as i keep hittin stuff.... yay leach

I just hate when you finally reach a monster with ranged attack and get rady to attack and then........ when you hit it..... it flees. :rant:

lol yeah even without the causes monsters to flee stat it's annoying.... ie those stupid spear throwing cats in act five... or pretty much any of the archers. A buddy of mine once said this while talkin crap in a game of Halo. "You can run but you'll just die tired."

Well, Silence is the only weapon with insane resists, + to skills and uber mana leech. And that's exactly what I am looking for.

I trust you on this but I need the resists and ML and don't wanna kill things with wizzy

Btw, one hit kill = no flee :lol:

However, the blind on the silence makes them stay put too, you might get a good few swipes at them but by then, they should be dead. Depends on your luck I guess on which one wins out.

Correct. The "Blinds target" is good but flee and blinds target will override eachother.

When i used Silence on a melee char i always ended up confused due to the flee.
