Ornate Broadsword

[Ephyr]

Item ID 23497.

Seems a bit disproportionate for a Pally only weapon. Shares similar ratio to other melee useable items, but knight only?

What are you comparing it to? And do you have any suggestion?

Other Knight weapons of similar quality.. most stuff in Sol Ro is T5/5.5 equivalent from what I can tell. Similar Knight only weapons in that range such as Heavy Bludgeoner of Order at 95/30 as an example.

Flameforge Hammer, as a trash drop in the same zone, at 53/23 has a very close dmg/dly and is useable for all melee classes.

Just looks like Ornate needs either a ratio boost to put it on par with other Knight specific weapons comparitively or more classes added in my opinion.

It could probably use a slight ratio boost, but it might be comparatively low because it has a very defensive proc on it and may be an alternative for the paladin that wishes to be more durable (without a healer of course); the proc would mean almost permanent regen of 300 a tick.

That would be my first guess. But it might just be an oversight and its ratio is set too low.

Perhaps.. but with Kiss of Life being so easily obtainable via Augs most Knights can get that healing elsewhere. Granted, they can double up the healing, but at this tier is 300/6sec enough to make an impact? A ~20% lower Dps rating seems harsh for that regen to me.

Either way just an observation, I don't roll with a Pally personally just seemed a bit off when I saw it and figured I'd put it out there.

Not offense but mentioning pallies and DPS in the same sentence sounds awkward.

Hey now, their version of "awesome DPS" doesnt necessarily need to coincide with what the rest of us think :-p
