Lol, not to get drawn too far back in the Locust's controversy, but just think of all the damage you would do with locust's fury constantly on you, ebon battle standard of honor constant as well, then someone keeping strength of honor on you, someone else giving you a nice weapon spell like splinter weapon or great dwarf weapon, someone else running order of the vampire, and then a vampiric mod on your daggers just for good measure.

Ye , im using JI @ 10 SmitPrayers on the monk for a buff and cover enchant. When another caster player joins me and buffs me with GDW just LF with CAgility and Asuran scan ..... the damage output is insane..

Judge's Insight (JI) changes your damage type to Holy. No Orders if you go that route.

I never said i used Orders. When theres more phys than me on the team i change the Smitter JI and/or SoH per 1 N orders .If im the only melee i prefer Smitting .

LF is actually a good reason why damage buffs should stack. Otherwise it would just be another completely useless elite. And really, stacking buffs isn't all that OP'd, especially compared to other stuff as I mentioned before. Clearing an elite area in ~15 minutes is a much bigger problem, IMO.

And yes, Locust's Fury, with a few buffs (no more than 1-3 are needed) is at least on par with MS/DB for H/H. Simply running SoH give you something like 90 DPS, and if you build around it (using several physicals and an Orders Derv) you can easily top 100 DPS. But the main advantage is the adrenaline gain. Being able to completely maintain SY with a sin is pretty hot for H/H.
