An in depth Guide: 51 Riftblade/15 Paragon

HK daggers? compared to what DPS 2h? at T2 raid it'd have to be 58.1 dps or higher 2hander... same tier.
i spose a Sylvan could compare but that still nearly 10 dps under the HK tier 2hander.

raid T1 2handers of 44.1 dps vs DW 34 dps 1handers is what i tested. since they are same tier.

EDIT: oh and i dont condone this build for Raids anymore, either 38 para 2h, 51 champ, or BM builds are way to go... 38 para dw isnt far behind, than lastly 51 rb. it just doesnt scale like i hoped it would. basically 1600ish for pluto vs 1800++ all the other builds, for my personal parses ofc. 51 RB remains best for 5-mans however, it ROCKS in 5 mans or pugs without fervor/clover.

Hmm, I have 2h polearm from DH and 2x34 1handers and for me 51rb/15 para parses better DW than 2h. Not by much on a dummy....50-75dps or so but in actual dungeon and raid fights the DW does about 150 more. Maybe im doing something wrong but while I do see the higher hits with 2h the overall parse is lower.

That said i rarely use it in raids anymore cause 51 champ for me does much better....but yeah in dungeons this build rocks especially considering the ever growing number of bad tanks i seem to end up with in randoms.

If your raid is filled with things other than 38 Para 2H warriors, then it may be worth it having a 51 RB keep up IFA. But it would be exceedingly rare.

This build is absolutely amazing in PvP
