    Best weapon decoration I've found since R155. It came with 3 slots so I'm farming the ander to open the last two before I'll put it into use. I'll gain 245 (306 after it gets 25% from Bloodtooth) crit and lose 22 (35 once you consider % damage bonuses) damage, but I can live with that. I'd have enough glyphs to get it to LVL 54 by the end of next week (and I melt my existing one), and that will give me another 160 (200) crit. Net result, gain 500 crit, lose 35 damage. For an end game DK, that will be huge.

    EDIT:
    This might just make a damage/crit/crit damage weapon I found recently more useful and an actually viable option. I'll need to do some math.

    Exactly what I'm looking for on my Ranger (as well as the same for the belt). Congratulations Baragain :).

    It's almost super rare now a days to find a deco with (at least for me:oops:) full Crit let a long one with all 4 lines over 200 :rolleyes: that is really nice Baragain! Congrats :)

    I just got the andermant I needed to open the slots, and I leveled it up to 53. I need 600K glyphs to finish getting it to LVL 54, and then I'll be good for a while. As it stands, I've finally broke the 2000 mark for my crit.

    You still need to fix your post, but I was able to pull out the image (BTW, you forgot to right click on the image and select "copy image url", you just copied the page address) and I must say, not bad for a 7 month old toon. You still need more HP (knowledge points likely) and you need to buy more diamonds for resistance, but all in all not bad. Also, keep looking for a better shield like the Full Moon shield, or save andermant for the Steam shield in the city of Andrakasch to buy it during a gear sale.

    Thank you... too bad that even a nearly perfect weapon decoration can't compare to the OP Low Level Legendaries.

    forgive me, but I thought going for crit was a useless path now a days

    Please educate me :)

    4x crit item can still be useful if you already have crit hit value % gear. Full armor of darkness gives 50 or 55%, or a witch + sparks, keens, yachaks, roshan build for 43.3%. adding dragonache would include 25%.

    Those multipliers plus dk axe or crit offhand plus a 4x crit item could be a viable crit build.

    Its not the build I went with but it is still there and makes use of pieces that one might have before level 50/r155.

    It depends.
    If you find the right items and upgrade them, then you can still get very good crit. But it's harder than before, especially for 2h players because they can't use quiver / book.
    Baragain has only 2k crit because he doesn't want to lose 30% dmg from the dragan set. He could get much more crit if he used 5 pieces of dark set + dragonache ring with 25% more crit, but that would go against his idea of how his toon should be built. I'm guessing he likes as much dmg as possible.

    The crit build is useless in pvp mainly because you have to use a shield not to die in 1 shot, so without a book / quiver you really have low crit, but it's still possible to have good crit even with shield if you have those op low level items. Or with a combination of really really good crit items like the one baragain found (and upgraded).

    Also the crit change is really good for the classes who have quiver / book because now there are no diminishing returns for crit. So the more crit you have, the more actual crit you have :D... and also like novadude said, the more crit you have, the bigger bonus you get from the %crit items like the dark helmet (30% new and 35 the old one, 25 gnob ring etc). So if I have a quiver and upgrade it and combined with good crit items, it's not so hard to get 80% crit

    And I like being able to take a hit. The warlord set has great defence compared to the Witch set. I'd lose too much HP and armor if I changed. I am a damage heal tank. So I need both defence and offence.

    Basically it is a question of DPS once you get to a certain point, the DPS you would gain from a full Damage decoration is less than the DPS you would gain from a full crit decoration. Builds that depend on crit were seriously crippled in R155, but if you don't have at least some crit, you are just doing yourself a disservice.

    OK, I have a couple of changes to share since I replaced that weapon decoration and then today I found Keen's Boots. Actually, The last time I shared my 2H build was back on 7 SEP. Between the changed in R158, converting all my rubies to sacreds, and working on my knowledge tree, the difference is striking.
    Here is a "Then and Now" for my 2H day to day build.

    Awesome toon. Amazing armor and hp + 3k dmg and 20% crit and decent speed WOW
    Not only do you have so much hp, armor and resist, but with a mighty swing you regen all that back, I think you would be great as an aggro tank and who also does a lot of dmg. Did you try to aggro with 2h setup? I can see you farm a lot by the number of pots in your inventory :D
