quest about ii vs hb

[FuriousKo]

so, obviously hb+8 is better than ii+8 but what i want to know is, how much does hb+8 hit more than a ii 8 on average?

[KingHOBO]

hb +8 = 181/155 flame
ii +8 = 180/80 light

So the average attack skill should be roughly the same but the "r" skill on the hb will hit significantly harder due to more elemental.

Hope this helps

yep agreed

And the less flame resistance someone has the harder you will hit them, at least with the 'r' attack, i'm not sure if this applies to skills as well.

[HeavensReject]

always remember that any unique weapon has a chance to "critically" hit also so there's a chance you may hit harder on occasion with the hb

[Heywazzap]

The biggest advantage is the Critical damage that it do some times.

[kepten]

I thought these things like critical on unique weapons, dodge dont work like repeal on shields etc...

[Hubson]

it's better elemental , so hb is much better

[RULERRR]

hb do much damage cuz flame, but ii is good cuz stun,slowdown enemy.

[Boeren]

this flame damage isnt that big of a deal in ur skill hit like mentioned above.. but ur r hit will be a lot bigger so if u can time these well, the hb is way better+ its sexy :d

[what]

i prefer flam more than light even if it's attack is less

[bloodpain]

also i like the combo with the hb better and i know that is weird to say but the combo with hb just seems easier than others

In addition to higher R damage, you will hit a LOT harder on high AC targets like DS/ED mobs/unduffed players.

On Dark Stones, I hit only slightly lower with HB+8 than I do with Raptor+9

since the hb has about the same ap as on the II the base ap for damage will be about the same but when R attacking enemies the elemental will add more onto it. so regular II vs HB on a db'd enemy will be more effective.
