k guys wanted to know answer for this long time so her it is : 2 orb -
gladiator orb 600-765
1312 - power
252 crit
252 rec
108 ap
ancient orb 671-820
1690 power
284 reg
133 deflection
133 reg
so gladiator orb has all attributes i need - crit,ap,rec , the ancient orb is higher in damage and well...its ancient but has nothing i need. what is better the cheaper gladiator or the ancient?
PvE: you can easily gain whatever DR caps you like from an augment-class pet (*), so you are passing up two-slots worth of almost 2,500 Power.
PvP: you will miss out on not only the Power but significant defensive stats too.
(*) Unless you exclusively PvP, augment-class pet should be your main priority when you hit 60.
My vote would go for the Ancient Orb, because the base damage increase in itself is worth something quite a lot more significant than the stat changes involved.

Weapon DPS is the main stat to do damage.
