Lacerators vs Warshrikes?

[inanefedaykin]

Ok, so this bassicly comes down to does the chance to cast amp on lacerators make up for the lower damage and slower speed? Anyone have some experience with this? I'm leaning towards warshrikes myself.

Yes, I have looked through the sticky and quite frankly, it sucked. It's a formatting nightmare (I realize this is due to an update in the forums at some point but holy christ it's barely readable), outdated and uninformative.

the monster flee on lacerators very frequently overrides the amp damage

so i would recommend warshrikes, even if they are non-ethereal

the 50% DS and 50% piercing target are nice and you can attain faster throwing speeds

gl getting a good pair, though. as hardly anyone ever picks them up, let alone offer for trade

Check out my new guide i wrote for 1.11 The Throw Barb Handbook, its very informative :)

I picked up a 249ed warshrike yesterday and am looking for either a lacerator to give me amp or another warshrike and I can't decide which.

@penguin I'll take a look later today, I don't really have the time at the moment.

if you really want amp then use 2x warshrikes + atma's

the monster flee is seriously annoying for pvm

of course in pvp lacerators are king because you can't flee players

Hehe, too bad. Howl and taunt would be hilarious.
