Steelrends Vs Draculs anyone?

[panos_gr]

hi again^^ i was wondering if theres a post or something with a detailed test
on draculs vs steelrend for bvb mostly. If not wou are welcome to do one(rikstaker?:P) and im avalable to help on europe ladder (have steelre/dracul/botd for test) almost anytime^

Most bvb are WW, and since life-tap dont trigger with WW, there goes one of the biggest reason in using dracs. Some may argue that the drac's 25% OW is good, but IMO up to 60% ED and far superior defense on the rends makes Steelrends the top choice.

[mstrnicegui]

if you're building an all-out dmg barb, 'rends are a better choice, but if you're going for a more well-rounded barb, drac's are by far a better choice. The 25% ow added in with the rest of your gear will trigger a decent amount, along with the decent ds% you should have.

[panos_gr]

whats the difference of all out dmg barb between well rounded when walking about bvb?:?

I would take a good draculs anyday. 15str isn't 20, but it's close enough, and the 60%ed is very nice but I'd rather have more OW. OW at lvl 90 or higher is a serious killer, especially in BvB where you can expect to miss a lot.

PS: I haven't tested a 60/20 steelrend yet, only my own very crappy 37/17 and a 54/18 from a friend.

i got 5x/15+ steels on both my barbs & for bvb nothing really beats those, for bvb u need pure dmg/cb/ds, not ow
if u plan to fight more than just barbs i'd go for draculs, along with gores u get a decent amount of ow

you are wrong the math is simple. what's good damage for 1 hand ww? about 6k? after pvp penalty and dr it's only 500 damage.(not counting deadly strike.) while ow alone does 500+ at lvl 90+.

dont forget extra 10% cb on steels & i kinda dont need draculs to get enough dmg from ow, gores is enough for me

cb only takes off 1/20 of other players' life. so assuming your opponent has 8k life it will still only have a 10% chance of taking off 400 of their life which converts to 40 extra damage. and ow resets itself every hit so if you get multiple hits per ww you'll want as much ow as possible for it drain their life like crazy.

what about the 13 life replenish from dungo's & 6 life repl per angelic ring & maybe some other items?

u wouldnt happen to have a site with exact stats for life lost with ow & life gained with life replenish?
