Wicked Strike Vs Weapon Master's Strike

I know Sure Strike spam is best single target dps for GWF Destroyer. Especially, in unstoppable it seems best to only sure strike and not even use encounters. Cause animations delay you will lose dps. But my problem is for aoe. What is best? Seems wicked strike deals more dps, then weapon master's strike. And I only got 2 slots....:confused:

    It depends. I assume you're a swordmaster Destroyer, in which case there are a lot of options. Sure Strike spam without any encounters is, of course, not the best single-target DPS you could pull. At all. For AoE it's either WMS/Wicked or WMS/Reaping. Those are your two options, as for which is 'best'? Well, for Destroyer I personally like Reaping Strike. If you don't like Reaping Strike, Wicked Strike is just as good or better.

    You pretty much need WMS though, as it's debuff and target cap are quite definitely best.

    Did you read? I said in unstopabble mode Sure strike seems best. Since it boost at-will attack speed. I dont see the need for encounters during these seconds. Reaping Strike is really a nono for me. I wish someone could tell me what aoe produces more dps. Using both wicked and weapon master seems weird? you only use it for debuff?

    Hola there, I think all At-Wills are awesome in Unstoppable mode, while using Encounters in Unstoppable mode is good too since you'll have Destroyer's Purpose (+10% Encounter damage while Unstoppable).

    No doubt Sure Strike is the best for single target, however using both Wicked Strike and Weapon Master's Strike would be better in AoE since WMS debuffs the target (bonus At-Will damage) while you use WS in Unstoppable.

    But if you're only taking one I think Wicked Strike's the way to go, since animation cancelling does not work with WMS anymore.

    Thanks, that makes sense. Also which stats to focus on? Power and armor penetration for max dmg?

    I use wms as debuff with a second aoe Atwill (reapin strike), and keep the sure strike for boss.

    that, or play catch with ranger / cw (ie less dps / fail in their function of defender).

    About arp, you only need 24% it seems. and its constitution guarantees arp too.
