Hi guys, so I've been thinking recently about the two weapon enchants...I'm a 4K HB fury...Crit sev 112% with no c sev comps....since I switched from puppet build I moved to vorpal....but lately have been testing dread (on Xbox so no combat tracker)...I feel that when I'm in a maxed out end game group, especially MSVA (3 clerics, pally, and GF) I do more damage with the dread...I'm basically spamming KF, the whole time..i try to keep up FOE with 3 at wills every 15 seconds, but other than that it's all encounters for the most part....I know you PC guys have tested and for a few FBI runs your at-wills were like 30% of your damage, but that was when SKT first dropped, have you done more recent recent tests with end game BIS groups? What are your thoughts?

    Some points :
    1 what rank are your enchants? I suppose they are at least perfect, given you item level but if not, it will not be a surprise if dread was superior to vorpal.
    2 you say you can spam encounters but my guess is that you can do it only because there were DCs and OP in your groups: they have the ability to reduce drastically encounters cooldown. I insist on this because I have quite a bit of recovery but I cannot "spam" encounters especially when you only have 2 of them you can spam (I exclude voluntarly pillar of power because the uptime is 100%). Otherwise, I would be glad to know your secret to spam KF with only 3 at-wills every 15 seconds :D
    3 if you really can spam your encounters, it makes sense that dread becomes superior.

    I think @kallephi#0836 tested that out with a buff group and the difference between vorpal and dread wasn't high, vorpal was slightly better.

    Yes both are transcendent....and yes those are the groups I'm talking about....high end buff groups....my in combat recovery is about 8k...so before buffed cool downs from OP or DC's my KF is at 8 seconds....it goes down to less than 3 seconds in FBI with 2 DCs and OP....and in MSVA it's basically always available....

    Like i said in an other post.
    At rank 8 or 9, imho dread is better ( Sw hB) but r11 or 12 vorpal will be better.
