/agree pointless thread

But Furious 10/10 and +30hp for paragons

and +20% enchanting for Caster spears

Leadership = no need for zealous ever
Sunder is one of the worst mods on any weapon 1 in 5 hits of 20% meh
Elemental in PvE not useful unless your trying to run a conjure para, and in PvP its to bypass some armor on warriors if need be.

and nobody ever uses the +7 vs phys and ele dmg mods so this is where I stand.

But Furious only has a 10% chance of doubling adrenaline doesn't it? Does that make it any better than 20% for sundering.

Zealous! It enables my Ranger spear-chucker to permanently spam her skills for 85-105 dmg/sec (according to Master of Damage), boost party damage, and inflict deep wounds (or dazing). Works as long as there are things to throw spears at.

Ebon.

Going up against a team with melee? Oh, hey, I just shutdown half of your team with EDA, GG.

RA has never been more entertaining. :P

Now, for PvE, I'd probably go with Furious, Sundering, or Vampiric.

Just about every Para bar has an IAS, right? then I think vamp might be the best in the end.

I'm not a fan of furious-I hardly notice the extra adrenaline. I like my Vampiric mod, although I'm pretty lazy when it comes to switching.

For PvP I like an elemental spear head for the conjures and laughing at the warriors when I hit them for a good chunk of damage.

For double adrenaline, use something else. Vampiric is far superior in this situation.

Ever heard of "staves"? +20% enchantment weapons aren't necesarily good outside of 55HP farming compared to using a staff which holds stronger casting benefits than a martial / focus.

Anyway, there's really no worth for furious mods unless it's on a melee guy with adrenaline skills to be fueled, and even then it's only used for ranged adrenaline buildup. The extra damage is far better.

I am lazy so I just slapped on a sundering spearhead on my one spear, furious on my destroyer spear. I just don't like having to weapon swap all the time and in pve the extra 3 damage per attack is pretty much pointless when I run with a discord team who spikes down an enemy within a few seconds half the time.

So final question, which should I use in PvE the most?
I don't farm or anything just the normal PvE (Nightfall only)
Furious or Sundering?

Both suck for the most part, but if you insist I'll use Sundering. (You should really stick to Vamp.)

Vampiric is basically the only one you should need. Maybe an elemental one if you want more damage on Warriors, which have an inherant armour bonus against physical, but I'm not holding my breath there as I don't have the full detail behind PvE Warrior enemies and physical resistance.

Fiery spearhead with a Mark of Rodgort Ele in your party. I'm pretty sure no other mod can compare with a bonus 42 damage on hit (the degen from the 3 sec burning).
