Wood elf tail paladin. Ezpz and you should already have tail.

Tremor is X3 multi while Blackrazor is 2x and even bludgeoning resistant undeads (zombies mostly) will eventually be able to be critted to death.

Crit threat wise, Tremor can benefit from LD tier 6 pulverizer while Blackrazor can't

Crit multiplier is instead better in FoTW (better option imho) as you can get an extra +1 on 19-20 and even consider them vorpals. You also get adrenaline charges.....

Blackrazor has interesting procs (I REALLY like the untyped damage) and immunity to mental compulsions but you have to actively kill 20 monsters to benefit from extra melee power. Depending on party size and difficulty, it is something you may have difficulty keeping up. Imho Tremor is the better option in most cases.

As for must have items, since you're going 2handed, you may want to consider getting a bloodrage chrism ( https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Bloodrage_Chrism) and a few pieces from eminence of summer (requires feywild)

Lots of people use axes, usually its only Baz wielding Horcs in Fury ED tho.

And it can be EKs, Barbs, Fighters, etc.

That combo just works.

Absolute judgement is fine. It's 2[W] behind on base dmg, and the tremor weaken undead is nice. But, it'll still be solid sans tremor.

Tail is solid.

Kinda depends on your destiny tho. maul is better for Fury. Tail probably better for Fatesinger. LD leans maul, i think.

Blackrazor is solid too, though.

Imma math for fun:

Assume 200 total dmg mod, 200 melee power, and 25 seeker for round numbers in fatesinger and not including doublestrike:

Tail should be 14-18x3; 19-20x5 ~1290.5 per hit avg

Tremor should be 16-18x4; 19-20x6 ~ 1392 per hit avg

Absolute Judgement depends on the mob. It has a lot of proc dmg (up to 100ish avg per swing). Assuming you get that on about half of mobs, it ends up around ~1250 avg per hit

Esos would be ~1103.75 avg per hit

Black Razor (upgraded fully) would range from about 1150 per hit (no charges) up to 1330 with full charges





I have these set up in a spreadsheet now. So. if you want me to swap in your appox dmg mod and melee power, just let me know. I also didn't include anything from filigrees or from epic moments like Turn the Tide or whatever

So there's two tails?

Yes.

Tail of the Scorpion & Tail of Suulomades.


Although, when most people reference "Tail" they are referring to the Scorpion version.

Keeping everything the same but moving dmg mod to 300, here's that same list:

Tail of Suulo: 1671
Tremor: 1783
Abs. Judge: 1638
eSoS:1553.75
Black razor: 1487-1704

For Fun: Here's 400 dmg mod and 300 MP burst:


Tail: 3026
Tremor: 3208
Abs Jud:2995
eSoS: 3006
Black Razor: 2709-2994

Lets' check. I last looked when it was on lamma. Maybe it changed.


Scorpion: 7.5[2d4+4]+15
-Metalline
-Poison 9
-Sov Vorp
-1 Aug


Suulomades: 7.5[2d4+6]+15
-Aligned
-Electric 10 + another 10 on crit
-Sov Vorp
-2 Augs


Difference:

Suulo is +2 base damage, slightly better proc dmg, and 1 augment
Scorp is better across DR


Suulo is better. But, I don't think it's huge. When we're comparing base dps, the +2 base dmg seems the most relevant.

According to wiki including bugs, it nets you +6 dmg. I'll redo the 200/200 with Falchions getting +6

Tail: 1313
Tremor: 1392


Another big factor that I'm WAAAAY out of the loop on is whether there is a difference on attack speed between the two.

With 10[w] (low for barb/bear builds, but whatever) that's a difference of 20 damage, or 7 str mod (almost). Pretty sizable difference - you offer me an item with 14 more str, I'm taking it and running before you can change your mind.
