Which is better HoD sword or Fiery Flame Spitter?
I was having a discussion with a guildie that the fiery flame spitter is better than the HoD sword. Personally the skill recharge mod seems better than the + 5 energy for a solo monk. So is skill recharge 10% chance better or +5 energy?
He also said that a 19% enchant mod does exactly the same as a 20% enchant mod, is that correct? You can find the Fiery Flame Spitter (FFS) south of serenity temple for 3 Scorched Lodestones you can get it from Nicanor Gannel. Sometimes the collector isn't there, you just have to keep on rezoning until he gets there. It took me 2 runs to find him. Last edited by Gildor Took; Jan 16, 2006 at 11:22 AM // 11:22.. |

A one in ten chance of a skill recharging faster versus five more energy all the time? I'll take the energy any time.

But you can't choose when the skill recharge kicks in, maybe it "kicks" in at the wrong time and you still die. I don't want to say I like the +5 energy sword more, but it's not like you can choose when it "kicks" in. Or am I wrong here guys, can you choose when the mod will do its job?

but the chance of having it "kick" is better than having +5 energy

No you can't choose when the mod kicks in.
Having a solo monk, i agree with Gildor in that you really shouldn't be running out of energy .. ever. I use the flame spitter, and i've never died/failed to cast a spell when needed because i've run out of energy, solo monks just don't run out of energy unless somethings gone horribly horribly wrong. The +5 energy just isn't that useful, if you never find yourself at 0 and wishing you weren't normally. I'll always take the chance for it to kick in, its not something you can go relying on, but the chance to cast some of your offensive spells more often is always nice. |

*nod*
If you can justify throwing you money on getting a HoD sword, then by all means, do so, but otherwise, a flame spitter is a great alternative, which is, at least in some of eyes apparantly .. a better option. As to your 19% same as 20% mod Took, the answer is 'most of the time, they are the same'. Its simple math, take the length of time of whatever enchants you are using, then, add 19% to the time, and cut off any decimals (don't round, just cut them off). Then, add 20% to the original number and do the same with decimals. Since decimals are not rounded, often 19 and 20% *are* identical. |

The 5 energy is always there on the focus switch, and I would prefer to keep 5 energy hidden from an Edrain Mesmer in pvp while still having my 20% enchanting mod. Just like a +30 health fortitude mod, it isn't doing anything until you're down to your last reserves.
If I want 5 energy to say, use a skill, I would switch to my Nolani Wand to provide an unconditional +5 energy then switch back to my Fiery Flame Spitter. Two collector's items from the Ascalon region, gotta love it. |
