I just bought a Flourish in the AH with a Damage Bonus vs Beast: High, and I'm wondering what I should upgrade it into?
My 3 choices at the minute are:
> Final Flourish,
> Furious Flamberge (Fair chance of causing moderate Fire),
> Fearless Rigadoon (Slight chance of causing moderate Stun).
I'm planning on doing the Rabid Snarbolax Shadow Lair, so preferences would go mainly towards this.
Any information & help will be greatly appreciated, thanks! :)
Ahh thanks, I'm new to the actual forum and guess I must have missed The Arsenal section.
I'll post it in there too, but thanks very much for your input and I'll keep it in mind. :D
Depends on what you value in terms of combat style.
If you prefer pure power and being able to kill enemies in the least amount of hits, go with the Final Flourish. It is the strongest of the three.
If you like inflicting a DoT (Damage over Time) effect to help kill multiple foes at once, the Furious Flamberge is a decent option. In Lockdown, it'll help deal some extra damage when you're not harming your opponent directly.
If you like slowing down the opponent to more easily dish out more damage on a safer condition, the Fearless Rigadoon is a good choice. In Lockdown, slowed down enemies will have a hard time countering and fleeing from you.
Mind you, both the Furious Flamberge and Fearless Rigadoon have about the same damage output as a Grand Flourish (4* version in the Final Flourish line). Their likelyhood to inflict status is low, however, so don't rely on it to kick in too often but it's helpful when it does.
and own the one in the rigadoon line...
though the chance says low, by personal opinion stun happens very often!
It is indeed true that the pure damage piercing swords BTB and Final Flourish dish more damage specifically for a Rabid Snarby run.
But personally (yes as for me) I prefer the status-giving weapons for the long run (by that i mean for that weapon to cover my normal runs and more).
So from this guy, pick any of the two status flourishes!
If you are new, why you rushed in to general section instead of New Recruits forum.....
Besides, instead of making another topic in Arsenal you should move this topic to arsenal... How? You should visit New Recruits forum...
The Arsenal section is the section of the forum where people discuss gear.
You should probably go for a Final Flourish with it. It's the standard pick for a good reason, as it deals the best damage. If you're a swordie, then Damage Bonus vs Beast is of questionable worth since you'll probably already be hitting Max with Skolver and BTS. If not, it'll be a great utility sword.
