Sunblessed scimitar, overused and overrated?

[Royce]

The scim is a poor weapon on it's own but the set bonus is too good to pass up, adding a good amount damage, health, regen, etc. The proc is really not so great. As a weapon considered alone the harpoon, limbchopper, and hax are all better than the scim, but the stat boosts from the set bonus give the edge to scim (which I think is kinda ugly actually). Hopefully the hate set with hax will get a good set bonus sometime soon. Would love to see a set for the harpoon or even limbchopper but I don't think they're gonna make destiny sets lol.

Limbchopper of destiny is a way better.. u can get one for 0,7k-3k...

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.

All noobs look and act noob.

And your 80% is so inaccurate.

How is limpchoppper BETTER?

No. No. No. And stop with your attractive lv2 character on your signature.

Lets settle this! Get two str players to pvp with no gear except scim and limbchopper. Just set them to auto and see which does more!

There's no question. If you aren't using the full Rift set, the limbchopper is superior to the scimitar, and so is the Harpoon. The only reason to use the scim is for the Rift set bonus.

1. If I'm not mistaken, the Sb Scimitar debuffs hit% like its bow counterpart

2. Without the set bonus, most 1H Str weapons are about as useful. When I don't use my Cyber Rift, I'd have to say my weapon of choice is a Destiny Harpoon or any Shock Lance. Because bears aren't focused on Dps as much, I'd go eith the slightly slower but more powerful weapon with a proc to weaken bosses and strong mobs.

1 is not correct, or it would be an awesome sword. Sadly it just has the fairly lame soul leech proc. 2 is right, a tank serves his party best by using the harpoon, an breaking his target's armor, especially againt bosses.

The scimitar looks so cool even with hate... u can use the scimitar to all kind of gear

How are some of the oldies even arguing about this? The Scimitar sucks nuts unless you have a rift set to get the bonus from. It's damage is pitiful compared to limbchopper or harpoon, which also results in less damage per swing on your opponent, and less skill damage.

You think a crappy soul proc makes up for all of that?

Best post on this thread yet.

Question, what is the 'soul proc'?
Because the Hax has the execute, which means you get a good chance at a 'double' hit while the enemy is effected by hell scream, which is most of the time. While the the limb chopper is better then the Hax, I really find I am getting some serious damage in with the Hax.

[StompArtist]

I am on the fence about the limbchopper and the hax. I know the limbchopper shows better stats but it seems to be I do better with the hax equipped. Not sure why or if it's all in my head. lol

if i had to choose a weapon to be safe with, vibra sword. let me make the boss miss more.
if i wanted a weapon to hurt the enemy, i guess a spear or shock lance is my option.
if i wanted a weapon to wear in town and look like te l33ts, i would go scimitar.
