As level 90 approaches I've been having second thoughts on getting the Firelotus, Blade of the Dragon. Currently i have Shinrotwins +4 sharded with 2 immaculate garnets. While experimenting with the pwcalc i found out i do more dmg with the shinrotwins instead of the Firelotus. Ofcourse i didn't factor the effects of Sac. Strike. I am wondering if the firelotus is worth getting instead of my current shinrotwins. Keep in mind I'm not that rich. What does the seeker community think i should do?

P.S http://pwcalc.com/f6bd88d5cdaed7e7 <---is what I'm aiming for.

Vs.

What should i do?

    Ever look at attack rate? Or even think about dragon seekers.

    Dual do more per hit more often, single do spiked damage alot faster.

    Tbh I'd get both. Since dual are more reliable in aoes but the Zerk speeds things up

    I'm a skill spammer, but my real concern is when in vortex how much would Sac. Strike affect me. My hp pool is lower than most seekers who add points into vit.

    I used firelotus and never regretted it - the sac. strike is really nice for spike damage, and 5% HP loss doesn't really hurt unless your vortexing without BP (which you wont be very often!). With BP the extra damage dealt effectively heals you the HP lost

    If your coin fund is low, just use what you have till 100. At 100, you have access to the R8 wep. that is probably what you will want to be using then anyway. So i suggest that for right now, just level with what you have. Save the coins that you would use making/buying a new wep, and put them towards rep for R8.

    Well for me u should not get any of those... I got lvl 85 gold fc weapon the dual swords that gives %10 hp when it hits so I prefer to survive than being dead....

    Firelotus is a good weapon with sacrificial strike get it if u want to do high damage on lvl 90 but u will die more easly...

    Shinrotwins I wont go with that sword because why the attack rate since all your skills needs channeling.... so pretty useless to me..

    Vortex + bp + lvl 85 fc dual swords = high survival rate doing dragons

    when u have the opportunity of getting TT99 swords if u dont have Rep u can make the sword with the same skill as lvl 85 gold swords but u get with the skill named revenge. That gives %5 hp u recover and strenght... Im aiming for that sword

    Answer: Brahma's Lash.

    j/k.

    Seriously though, I think that Zerk Blade is overrated and good for Vit. build Seekers only, but if you have the potions.........
