Best weapon for Mauler Tank?
Few days ago I opened this topic but a separated weapon discussion is requied in my opinion. I haven't even found an up to date mauler guide, and the only one I found here isn't even close to my thoughts
I run through some of the weapon choices but tried only the BotD and Grief rune words and I can not decide weather to block or not. I know this topic is about weapons but the choice of blocking determinates 1h or 2h weapon to use.
With 75% blocking (and 86% FHR) I ended up blocking constantly and wasn't able to hit. Literally. Grouped with 10-15 mobs made attacking literally impossible. Even the 7fpa wasn't enough. I tried grief pb and it could kill fast (although the dmg screen showed only 1k dmg max charged with 300%ed from Forti) but again, blocking made me block 100% of the time. I dont know how FHR or FBR connects or how can I lower this rate. it was terrible.
2H competitors sortbed by dmg (from highest to lowest)
eBotD Thunder Maul 12fpa base 5%IAS 11fps 35%IAS 10fpa
eBotD Great Poleaxe 8fpa base 30%IAS 7fpa
eBotD Giant Tresher 7fpa base 70%IAS 6fpa
No FHR animation occured, constant attack with HUGE numbers. I mean HUGE numbers like 10k+ with Forti and max charged. So what am I missing? I cant really think of any other weapons around. 1h weapons can't really be used with the constant blocking and other 2h uniques lacking either leech or IAS.
