Glaive or Marltek

[Menset]

Saw a Glaive of Marltek for sale in EC for 150p. Almost bought it as I had just sold another suit of banded and had 175p on me. But that's all I had so I passed.

It's a 1HS 5/24 that procs snare at 15. Low damage but snare is great to have. I'd almost prefer it over the Ebony Bladed Sword (7/24) I got from Cabkin. Root is also useful, but a rooted fleeing mob will turn and attack. A snared fleeing mob will not.

Sounds good. I sold my first stein this weekend and feel pretty flush - would be happy to give you a loan.

[Menset]

Heh. Don't need a loan. I can usually scare up 150p when I want to - that's the profits on 3 sets of banded. Just thought others might be interested in giving the sword a try. I may still pick one up. Just not today...

[Cabkin]

It does sound interesting. By the time the Ebony Bladed Sword procs I would hope to have something better but it has more DPS than any other 1HS that my ranger has.

[Menset]

IIRC, rangers want something fast in their primary hard and something that hits hard in the secondary. Not very many weapons proc below L40 and those that do have a fairly poor damage ratio. Still trying to figure out the lineup I want on Backfyre when I get dual wield.

I'll probably try to find a good deal on a Green Jade Broadsword.
