New balanced weapons

[Midievalmodel]

So compared to glint aegis it's different. Damage is higher over all but you don't get the aggro or knock back. Obviously it doesn't have an added armor value unless your awakening gives it. When I'm in a mob the burst is hard to notice but everything in a certain radius takes damage. How much damage depends on how much damage you do with your main attack. I can jewel farm with it better then any weapon I've used before. One major difference I notice with the sword and the damage proc is when fighting the boss I can watch the bosses health go down, quickly. I have solo'd maus before and the boss took forever. Now I can kill any of them solo up to 5 or 6. So to answer both questions it's a burst not dot and the burst isn't the same as the glint aegis. I would love it if it did stun or collect aggro like the aegis. In exchange the overall damage output is higher.

Thanks for the info. I will admit I am shocked with some of what your telling me. Perhaps I need to give Balance sword a chance and test it. I've never heard of anyone saying balanced sword damage output overall is higher that glint aegis combined with magma aa. The damage created by glint aegis proc when Magma aa is activated is just insane is what im saying (for mobs of course). Fighting boss i would assume balanced sword does more damage than glint aegis cuz its single target and balanced sword has more base damage. However, have you compared duskbringer claymore vs balanced mythic sword on bosses? Because duskbringer claymore has much higher damage due to its 20 percent damage increase when you equip it (Even though it does reduce ur armor by 20 percent as well). Just wonder if balanced sword proc actually makes up enough for the lower damage it has compared to dusk claymore on boss fights. I am also really shocked you feel the Balance sword is better for farming jewels compared to glint aegis. I'm assuming you know and have used glint aegis extensively and correctly before yes?
