I was wondering if a very fast or very high damage would be better forsoloing elders...just master swordsman, no +speed attachments or anything...

Find out what has the highest DPS! AND! Use that when fighting elders.

That DPS calculator DOES take into account the delay mod of specials, it's a very handy tool for comparing weapons

Unless you have speed mods, faster is usually better.

Man, thanks for that tool, really handy. Turns out I've been using the wrong hammer for elders by about 100+ DPS. Speed was definately the way to go if your not Capped. Also when killing any others my best scythe beats any PH by about Double. Man I need some Speed tapes.


Thanks,

Your best bet is not to bother.


If you're looking for loot, you can clear a stalker or protector spawn in the same if not less time and get more loot.

i haven't crunched the numbers but i am pretty sure that with only master swordsmen speed mods you are much better of with a good speed sliced hammer . i have 2 identical hammers ( one got a 32% damage slice and one got a 32% speed slice ) , i would estimate that i kill elders twice or atleast 1/3 quicker with the speed sliced one.



regarding the poster with the link to the damage per second calculator , its a very nifty tool but without delay mods of special moves the results are meaningless .

Well speed maybe, unless you could get yourself a nice Acklay PH with 5 or 600+ max damae and get a damage slice, even a good speed slice would be nice with that as a max damage. I'd say just really figure out what will do more DPS, DPS is your best bet against a 300+k HAM mob lol

I go for speed solely because it seems the speed of applying intimidate is based on the speed of your weapon, and I use intimidate a lot
