Pally w/ sewer hammer skill damage question

[Otukura]

Could someone post it for lightning or any other skill? I want to compare it to gurg's hammer. Deciding if I should switch for bosses.

If it works anything like the bear's skill damage, gurgox will definitely be higher :)

Here are my pally dmg calculations. They're done with a 56 mage 137int/146str split and no rings or vanity hats. Spell damages were divided by their cooldown and summed up with the weapon dps. Hopefully there aren't that many typos, but who knows...

EffD is crits included, i.e. total damage multplied with 1+crit/100. My skills are 6 in all dmg spells except ice storm is 1 and frost bite 4. For the gurgox I respecced to 138/145 to be able to wear the damned thing. The enemy armor was excluded from these calculations, but they're easy anough to factor in. I'll add those numbers a little later.

I wrote those down to decide what other options are there for a pally besides the fury, e.g. against bosses and in other circumstances where armor and dodge can be sacrificed for damage.

The obvious thing was that the two handed options are less effective for a pally than the mega gemstone staff set, which is sad because I like their looks. Mace and 2H are especially weak, but the hammers seems feasible (and are indeed fun to swing around). Of course they're all a lot cheaper than a mega staff set.
Gurgox has more spell damage than sewer hammer and if one would factor in the enemy armor then it would likely overtake the sewer hammer by a hair, but I dunno how many swings one gets to do with it in a boss fight with all the spell casting and all that, at least one would have to time the spells well right after swings to get there.

For the record Bellow's has massive damage and crits and some dodge, too, but no m/s and poor armor, but I've included it here just to show how much +12dmg + 8cirts per item really does. (Don't go rampant with it though, the 80 hit% as opposed to the 97 of pure int is massively different and without mana you can't sustain the dps)

I sold my Fury axe earlier because it lacked set bonus, BUT additionally even though it did have higher base damage and DPS it had smaller spell damage than the sword. This can be verified with cheaper versions. (making it feasible for a bear, but poorer choice for a pally). I've also sold my rift set, so that's missing, too.

Personally, I like being pure int the most, the damage and the challenge and all that, but I have to say that the fury is an insane and fun set for a pally. Sure it lacks a little in dmg (which is easy to overcome with a lixir or by wearing something like the int gemstone staff set if dmg is what counts, 56 dex hat is also a welcome addition in some circumstances), but the immortality that it provides is something else. Rallying up mobs in stronghold buffed up with ring and all having dodge 33 and armor 212 is an experience worth every cent.

yep, fury set has bit of invincibility... but better let kill mobs the other team mates..
