ya im starting a new charcter and waz wondering if Gale duel hammers wuld be a better choice over General Summer's Duel Hammers?? I mean i KNOW a perfect iron hammer opens up the supply stash till lvl 80.. but iron hammers cost upward of over 800k now and i seen those Gales for sometimes 600-700k
clean.. plus they add a whopping 8-9 vit. so wuld these be a better choice for a barb or are they too much coin/trouble? And it also seems that they culd replace the Skele Axes cuz they has good vit. on them.. Or maybe im just thinking too much.. i gots plenty of money and many lvls to make more.. so wat do u think??b:bye

    first lets get prices straight here
    iron hammer is 550k to 600k TOPS!

    gale already made maybe with 2 average gems or 1 costs about 800k to 900k
    Gale hammer are better hands down they are great...

    i would even keep them untill level 62 untill i get that poleaxe

    tho its worth opening the supply box untill level 80 when it ends

    so if u want to save 900k for Gale axes becuase u will open that box some time no matter what! =0 up to you

    Nope. He's right. Perfect Hammers actually do cost 800k now. If you do know someone selling for 500k, hook me up!

    Anyways... If you can find a Gale for 600k to 700k, and you can afford it, grab it. I think that's really cheap. But although the Gale Dual Hammers are better hammers than the General Summers, I'd suggest you not get the Gales and just focus on getting an Iron hammer to open the stash box, and just use the Gen. Summers instead. You'll be just fine with the Gen. Summers, and since you should open it anyways, you save more money by not getting the Gales. The 50s range fly by really quick especially with BH now, so investing 600k+ in Gales is probably not a great idea unless you can really afford to.

    Except for 2 differences. Although you still end up earning back everything from using the hammers on the crates at this point between the cards, the shards, and such, it's still an investment of 700-900k that you won't be getting back until around level 75 from what was in the crate. The weapon is also a bit weaker, cannot be upgraded, and cannot be sold once you're done with it. With the end result, the christmas blessing (another hammer, another 700-900k) selling for less than a hammer costs, that incentive doesn't even exist any more.

    Meanwhile with the gales, you can probably buy them already sharded, upgraded to +1 or higher, and can sell them back for almost as much as you paid by the time you're wanting to get something new.

    +1. Gale Dual Hammers kick ****. No doubt about it. I laughed when I opened the supply stash (already had Gale). I kept Gale until lvl 62 when I got Hefty Poleaxe of Giants (which is better than Skeleton Axes, but which, in turn, are superior to Gale Dual Hammers). I don't think you could use Gale until lvl 70 unless you refined them to +6 or more. Now, since that would cost a hell of a lot of money, I recommend you just get HH70 or Calamity Axes at 70, but use HH60 or legendary poleaxe while you're 6x. If you can afford to open both the supply stash and get the Gale, do that, if you can only afford one and they are similar price, get Gale duals. You will resell them for almost as much as you paid (maybe a little more, maybe a little less). It really is up to you.
