Hi. On my thief i run a sword + pistol / pistol + pistol heavy critting build. She hit 80 recently, i was to gear her with zerker armor and weapons with knights trinkets with zerker gems. But since assassins gear was on the way i decided to wait.
Now when it’s out, can someone do or link some math comparsions of those two gear sets? Assassins provides more crits, but with lower power those crits will not be doing much more dmg, but still proc traits will tick in more often, but i feel zerker already provided enough of these…

Power provides the best dps overal (around 6.6% better), and with “on crit” internal cooldowns, the difference on crit percentage, with Berserker being already high, won’t matter much.

Go zerker if you have doubts between both.

Honestly, Assassin was a waste of a space for something that does mostly the same than zerker but worse, and that space could’ve been used to adapt the PvP version of Knight (Vit, Power, Precission with Vit as primary) which would’ve been great to mix and match with zerker gear to get numbers closer to the PvP zerker amulet.
