G15 Claws Compared To g16

Lucifer - Dreamweaver

Ive been farming and saving for G15 Claws, either Ghost Vanquishers or Tracless Dimensions and i was wondering, what is the damage difference between either of them or g16 tracless dimensions? Say i were to get -0.05 and either +20attck lvls or Revenge on my claws and +10 them, how would they compare to g16 claws+10 with +40attck lvls?

Without knowing the rest of you build its hard to say exactly.

The difference at +10 would be 20 attack levels (or the difference of a revenge proc), +84 base damage, +22 refine damage, and 1 more add-on.

Lets say you have 40 attack levels base (Jones and +10 somewhere in your gear) and you get +20 G15s. You now have 60 attack levels. If you had 40 attack levels from G16 instead you'd have 80 attack levels. The difference of 60 and 80 attack levels is 12.5%. I'm guessing (just a guess) the difference of a revenge proc and 40 attack levels would be about 15% while active.

So speculating here, but you're looking at a 15-20% gain in dd. Plus, since G16s have 3 add-ons its much easier to get -int on them.

Don't bother wasting your money on something that's weaker; 20 attack + int on average will cost you over 500 re-rolls. That's like 4 Billion on my server.

You're better off spending the extra 2M, badge of offense, and 60 basic badges for the instant damage increase of 40 attack levels, and higher base dmg + refine bonus.

Also go traceless dimension route, lunar, if you want to be able to sell the weapon in the future. Making it tt, not the best option in my opinion.

G15, either version scale the same on the damage, the procs they get make a difference. I like my g16 far more than my g15, which had int, str, crit. I have int, dex, dex now. Rocking 250 dex b:victory, that i can not restat b:cry.

By default having 2 pieces of g15, blessing, we get 75 attack lvls with g16. That is a considerable help in getting bp returns, my g15 was great, but still had issues with it if i ever took agro.

if you are still in process of farming for g15 you can just as well do few full WS runs to farm that g16...maybe you will have enough badges and get mold at same time when you get money for g15...then ther is no point to refine g15 when you can make g16 xD...if i were you i would just farm WS for mold and badges and make g16 and if you can go lunar path whit deicide...like it is said it wont be bound and you can allways resell
