I still use Guilly, 2500 average, spikes 3-4k on DA proc. TBH the only advantage I see from the Emp choices are the aftermaths, not so much the WS. Using Woeborn, /SAM & 26 STP in gear, one Guilly and 4 swings gets me 100tp, and I only have to WS in Rajas to get that. I WS so fast that using VV seems kind of pointless, so I usually roll with RR/GH/Apoc. I could be terribly wrong here and if I am please explain to me why Quietus/Torcleaver are so superior. I dont understand why DRKs everywhere have dropped their Scythes. WTF?
Guillotine with its 4 hits is 3.875ftp and 25% str/mnd mods. With an average of 250/150str/mnd totals that would give them roughly 84 in wsc. Torcleaver is 4.75ftp for its 1 hit, roughly 200vit for a torcleaver would be 102wsc(60%mod). Dont even have to take the aftermath in consideration to see Torcleaver is superior in everyway. The increase in ftp between the two alone is 22%. I wont go into Quietus as there hasnt been enough testing to pin down the exact ftp, though 3.0-3.5 would be my guess as it seems to be close to guillotine numbers from what most ppl are reporting(lets say its just bad eyeballing, 3.75-3.85 no higher I think) Think last time I played with numbers, SS came out ahead of GH. I think it was A/O > SS > VV > GH for a guillotine drk. *note* about the ftp values I gave, while they are correct, they do not tell the whole story from a mathimatical point of view, theres still accuracy,gorgets(if applicable), and any DA/TA hits to account for to find the average ftp value. Its not a huge deal but just incase people think that the ftp value of torcleaver will always be 4.75 in every calculation(it wont, its just a quick/rough evalution of the ws itself and not the actual situation that it will be in)
