I’ve been using Blade of inquisition and just got Ravagane. I noticed there’s nearly a 20% increase from listed weapon DPS going from BoI to Rav, although this isn’t shown in DPS numbers on a fight. Even on add fights on my warrior the numbers seem lower with Rav than with BoI. Now I understand BoI has a proc that makes it so much better but a weapon with that much more base damaged shouldn’t be out preformed so easily.
I’d like to see auto attacks still being allowed with the whirlwind from the axe so you can use heroic and cleave. It would allow for a normal Rotation and gameplay with the added bonus of the AOE dmg proc. It would only be a huge increase on large AOE fights but still make the weapon a worthwhile upgrade while working toward Ashbringer. As it is, this weapons proc causes you to completely miss out on the 3.5 set bonus because you cant use cleave.
It feels bad to have all these crazy one handed weapons but no good PVE 2 handers in the raid. I have several logs on the last boss in SE where the 2 weapons were similar DPS or even less with Rav even though there was tons of AOE dmg. And while it was similar, boss damage was much lower and It felt like a useless addition.
For all the people that wont read this and drop some comment about what ifs or “wait till you get ashbringer.” Just remember, this is the last raid and it would only be more fun to gain powerful weapons as you progress. Even if Rav AOE hits players for less damage, I’d be happy.
Just felt I should check, you made sure to switch your ring rune to Axe Specialization?
yeah, I have sword on one and axe on the other to try every other pull.
The problem is probably mostly with how warrior can only use Heroic strike and Cleave while auto attacking. When you auto with those skills, you gain all your set bonus procs. You lose all that with the Rav.
Cool, yeah I don’t know why the performance is that much worse. Hopefully you do get Ashbringer soon though. Honestly the main thing is gonna be those mats required for it. Yeah as long as Ashbringer remains BiS I don’t mind that axe getting buffed.

I think just allowing auto attacks during the proc would put it in a nice place.
Ravangane axe is op af in Caldoran fight as well as Beatrix.
Seems you didn’t read the post. I’ve used it on all the fights and it doesn’t do better than Blade of inquisition. Even if the DPS is OK from this weapon on AOE fights, It doesn’t do much DPS to the boss, especially on a warrior. We cant use our set bonus when it’s spinning.
Thanks for your reply though.
Yeah, it sucks can’t use cleave or Heroic strike. But still pretty good for aoe. Which its made for.
and using cleave and heroic strike is better, even with adds.
Yeah, it’s good for paladins who want to aoe. For warriors not at all.
correct, I mentioned warriors specifically though. Plus mentioned really only wanting to be able to use cleave and heroic with it. Along with mentioning nearly 20% more passive weapon DPS that doesn’t keep up with BoI.
Yeah, guess it’s not a warrior weapon. Go to get Caladbolg or any of the 1h weapons.
Ashbringer is a goal I’m working on. Doesn’t seem like a stretch to ask that a progression weapon works for warriors too when it’s the only PVE 2 hander that drops from the bosses. I’ve been looking for boulder for weeks, even that one doesn’t do better than BOI. Not sure why they want Nax sword to be better than everything in SE.
Caladbolg sims higher in longer fights.
That’s likely, I’ve only used one sim and I’m not a pro at setting it up. I still cant get it though, I’ve gone weeks without having it spawn and then other’s got it the 2 times I saw it. I have the axe though and It doesn’t feel great to only work for paladins.
You’re missing the point, but thanks for your input.
“I got an axe from SE please buff it”
As pointed out previously, you seem to lack normal reading skills. Proven by having to repeated explain things until you understand them. It looks like you’ve run out of any helpful or meaningful reason to keep explaining for you. Good day
I mean like. Just sim it bro. It’s that simple. Go to lightclub discord find the sim. Pur ur gear and setup into it. Then click sim. It will show u whats better. If u need help with sims the people in discord are normally very helpful at showing u how to set it up. Hopefully this will prevent u from being disappointed the weapon u won isn’t better than ur old one.
