    Default Storm glyph or keen edge

    Which is better?? For those of you who dont know keen edge is in the life PA that gives you 6 dps and storm glyph is in water which gives 30 str

    oilstone/whetstones > PA-based weapon damage buff > 30 Str

    Storm Glyph is the only viable/useful PA-based weapon buff... used on your tanking weapon.

    I know oilstones and whetsones are overall better i was just asking for when i run things like t2s or lower tier content because i dont waste oilstones on lower tier content. So just was curious between keen edge and storm glyph which is better for when im not using oilstones

    6 DPS = 60 AP
    30 STR = 22.5 AP

    so Keen edge would seem the victor in this scenario

    AP from strength also affects your power damage directly where weapon DPS would not, I am curious how much difference it would make there especially for Riftblade

    it's an interesting point. For example, when I'm using 51 champ, my tarnished fiery scythe is better for dps, but when I use high RB spec, I'm still better off with my Kraken for the extra AP with the 50 AP proc. I honestly have to admit I've been too lazy to test if in the higher RB build it's worth using the 30str or not, though it's probably pretty close, since the builder abilities only use 50% of the weapon dps, and the bursts use none.

    6 DPS is worth much much more than 60 AP
