Hi..I can't compare it because I didn't use drag blades. I'm a bow player and I find the dread bow is my only option. It procs regularly enough and I find it's really good when it comes to mobs. Not so good with bosses but that's just my opinion. I did find immo bow useful on bosses and for a time used dusk on mobs..immo for boss. Obviously the drag blades proc is great but at level 66 I think we should be using something fit for that level. Sorry I'm not able to elaborate more but as most people know, I just go around shooting at things and try to enjoy all aspects of AL. Ermmm..apart from pvp. *tremble*. Take care. I hope someone who is more knowledgeable than me on this subject will come and be more helpful.
