I’m about to build my 2nd ascended focus since I built my first one zerker for the colour sake Now I want to put my anomaly on a 2nd one…

…But what’s actually better? Zerker with more power or kitten with more presicion?

Power

  • more damage against structures
  • stronger mainhand

Presicion

  • better reflection
  • more bleeding (duel 15)

Anyone can help me? Maybe I missed something? What do you use??

thx

I have a couple focii that I use. One is full zerker, one is 2/3 partial zerker and 1/3 full zerker, and the last is 1/4 zerker, 1/4 celly, and 1/2 soldy. Hope this helps.

Depends if you’re playing solo, with pugs or with an organised group.

Solo: assassin is better than berserker
Pugs: i’d say assassin
Organised group: berserker since you’ll have ~100% fury uptime + banner of discipline.

I ran some personal number. Using a 10/30/0/20/10 build with scholar runes, battle sigil, and 5 or 10% sigil neither pure assassin’s nor berserker was best.

order was

  1. assassin’s armor, berserker weapons/trinkets
  2. assassin’s weapons, berserker armor/trinkets
  3. full berserker
  4. assassin’s weapons/armor, berserker trinkets

I didn’t both running the numbers for every possible combo of armor stats however, so there’s probably an even more optimal set up.


To maximize reflect damage however (against lupicus for instance) you’ll want to maximize crit chance, so for pugs that would be full assassin’s

I now used my zerker focus due the fact that I literally was posting a thread that asks for two weapons wich have compared to each other just +1.5% crit chance silly me xD How could this matter :P

ty anyway
