Vorpal or Dread for DPS?

fede

Just that, I have a vorpal but new Dread seem very good but not sure if Dread is good for Gwf,
any advice or recommendation?

im a CW and i bought the dread Rank 10 , i feel it lacks versus my vorpal rank 11. maybe the Dread is nerfed? also the dread does not crit dalies, at wills powers and all the paragon feat powers as well, so honestly i dont know , i assume dread is better in PVP then PVE because it has that 40 percent damage resistance feature as well as the 75 percent serverity crit, i would like other peoples thoughts on this Dread VS Vorpal

Dread is Best in Slot for - CW, HR, & SW.

This is mainly due to where your main dps comes from - your encounter powers. One can argue points with the SW, and depending on play style and role you choose as SW, Vorpal may be better served. CW and HR, hands down Dread though.

Vorpal for -GWF

This is due to how most end game GWF's set up their encounters, for some sort of self buff, debuff, heal, etc, thus dealing minimal damage with their encounters, so very little return with the Dread.

not positive for TR's as I haven't played them much at all, and none post 60 content, or even looked into builds for them.

You don't auto attack as much with CW so dread is better. Though I use feytouched.

xcat56 is correct. i use vorpal as a SW because it works with all attacks. Dread works if you are a high encounter user. it is all play style preference. i heard Dread is cheaper though.

The magic number is 66%. If you deal 66% of your damage with Encounters, dread is better. If you don't, Vorpal is better. THere is no BiS based on class, it depends on rotations.

as a CW from my play style DREAD is king in PVP, but in PVE using my rotations VORPAL is better
