Lol you don't kill people with just skills anymore. Everyone's geared and getting up to par. Unless its a new 20, you gonna melee a bit at the end. The only thing the burst is good for is yoinking other's kills after they have damaged a badie.
That increase in damage isn't night and day difference to skill damage, and the fact that it still comes down to a melee brawl at the end makes me like the faster brand/pest. The slow combersome swings of headsman is easily juked and pron to missing on highly mobile targets.
Its best quality is the absurd life on it, not the damage IMO.
Brand/pest still outpaces it encounter after encounter. Unless you wanna burst a damaged target/yoink a killing, the brand/pest is more versatile and still drops people in seconds.
Do you even have both a 21 pest/brand and headsman to come to your conclusions?
The point is everyone flipping out over the headsman when they shouldnt be. Surely people will like it over the pest/brand, but it isn't a killer of those weapons. Its equivalent... just different.
What *will* suck is people opening up with headsman then macro switching to firebrand (if that is even possible) to finish up. I am suspicious of Chrome players and the PVP differences of me using a touch screen versus the versatility of a keyboard.
