    Default Sunblessed scimitar, overused and overrated?

    Recently, I've noticed 80% of level 50s are using sunblessed scimitar.

    Most of which do not have full Rift.

    My question is:

    If you are not using sunblessed scimitar as part of a set, how is Limbchopper NOT better?

    This applies to lolstrbirds, strbears, and pallys.

    Is it just a case of not wanting to look nub?

    I might be clueless, so please enlighten me.

    It has soul drain (or whatever it's called). Other than that though, I don't see how else it's better,

    ...same for archers using mega blasters when they don't have the full set yet... nobody to tell them the sunb. bow is better (only the range? ).
    yeah dps/damage is overrated, looks is the new way to go.

    I popped a scimitar, so I use it. I find at level 50, my bear doesn't really have a beats-all-other-weapons weapon. I also like the harpoon a lot. In many fights, it works as well or better than scimitar. The Vibra Battlesword has its pluses also for speed and its look.

    I prefer harpoon, as I want to do as much dmg as possible (and break armor) when I'm playing.

    Soul leech is not the most amazing proc, even when it procs, it's looks mainly, I chose whatever weapon I'm using based on party makeup and bosses being encountered.

    I have seen this soul leech proc (white text above the enemy) when playing with others, and it happened quite often, probably every 3-4 secs, just because of that I spent my hard earned gold to buy the sword from cs and tested it straight away, but I didn't get any procs at all! What's wrong with my sword? Do I need full set? Now I think my limbchopper way better.

    Limbchopper is better damage wise as it has better min-max stats which really come into effect then critical hits...hit.
