Mod 8 - Underdark, is alive, as said Devs, and all run to get new weapon from NPC in PE.
But ... which weapon is the best for CW - Howling, Burning, Drowned or Earthen orb. Or Stronghold Orb? So many choices.
Many ppl already got Drowned weapon, is it the best for mod 8?

    I'm leaning towards the Twisted Weapon set.

    I think it will be the Twisted set for me too as the main set.

    But I'm looking for a second set to help in certain fight. (refined only at epic level).

    Burning set:

    HAVE A CHANCE of 25%AP gain not very useful with a DC artifact at mythic and a cloak with 4% AP gain

    If the chance is more than 50%, maybe useful. Currently, I have no idea of the % chance.

    Drowned set:

    Healing 50% of max HP when you are struck over 30 seconds (1 time every 60 sec), depends on your % life steal, your Boon's choice and if you are Renegade and have Chaotic Growth. (In a party with a healer class, the set is not needed)

    Earthen set:

    Forcing to Stand still to have your bonus effective, it's not my play style.

    Howling set :

    Seems good for a second weapon set.

    Running fast after a teleport is something that could be very useful for particular fight.

    I tried to simulate the possibility of running fast for a short time in a real fight, with steal time in mastery slot, and I like it. It's very useful to quickly re-position your character after a red circle.

    I think this weapon is underestimated, specially with the mechanic of new skirmish and demogorgon fight, when you need to run a lot...

    The only problem, it seems that it's not a very popular choice: nobody are farming the spin ward rise big's HE.

    Maybe I'm too rebel, I choose the hard path... :)

    Demon set is only good in this module. You can use it farm Demo/skirmish farm but in next modules it won't be good.

    Water is BIS for Pvp! Even for a CW I think.

    Fire is very good for Pve! According to a dev its not 25% but 100% chance. Probably almost like a Snail (~18% AP)
    But that HE farm is very annoying.

    In the long term maybe the SH will be a winner because its not available in lots of guilds but it will. And if more and more people will chose it over the the HE grind its 6-8-10% dmg is better than ~18%AP.
    stock and stone I can master, but there's a Wizard to manage here!

    It's basically +3.8k power for a CW. How does that ever become bad? Did you even read what it does?

    Most annoying part of all of them is the -715 arp though : |

    Not sure why they have to keep putting recovery on everything.

    Has anyone tested the demon weapon set? Is AOE/DOT counted as ONE stack, or many stacks? Any hidden internal cooldown, like only 1 stack per second?

    People won't have the Twisted set for at least a few more days.

    I doubt they'd make all the rings stack quickly with no ICD and then do it with the twisted weapons.

    I think it's a 100% chance but with a 30 sec cooldown
