Default Piercers Lack Transitional HighEnd 2h
Good day all,

I'd like to bring light to a problem I've noticed with Nod since I started as a faithful piercer 4 years ago.

The 2h piercer class is lacking "transitional" weapons in the high end spectrum. I recently went from "Spear of Storms" to "Heavens Teeth" (uncommon to epic) and I noticed a SLIGHT improvement in my DPS. Since prior to the Spear of Storms I was farming in the North Lake. Though it has become slightly easier to kill in the N/L, I can't help put to realize that H/T just doesn't cut it.

I also noticed that the next weapon with a higher DPS is Spear of Hardened Death. (3.415 --> 3.959) but this is not until level 99.

So we come to my dilemma...there are no good "transitional" 2h weapons for Piercers. There should be an improved lvl 95-96 piercer which I would presume would be "rare" and should take the attributes of the current Spear of Hardened Death, this would allow for a smoother transition into the lvl 99 & legendary's. The current SoHD should be changed with the current legendary attributes & the current crops of legendary should be slightly tweaked upward.

Since I know someone is going to bitch that I need to improve my skills...here are my skills so you can compare with your own piercer/char:

Character: Toolbox
Level: 80
Total Exp: 14,091,378,431 (and rising)
Str: 135 (95)
Dex: 520 (410)
PSt: 155

Weaponary:

2/87/0/86/85/85/86/76/82/0/82/0/0/80/0/80/65/72/63

1. All weapons have gaps between useful weapons. This was made to encourage people to train multiple disciplines. 2H crush, for example, jumps from 22 epic to 55 uncommon. The next epic is the 71.

2. Your skills are below par. If you currently boss farm, I suggest you cease immediately and instead farm mobs so that you may raise your skills with trophies. If you already do farm mobs, just keep at it.

For slow effects, use the slow % but as a negative.

Just repeat for multiple effects.

DO NOT multiply by 1+slow% to get your new delay. 1*1.4 is not the same as 1/0.6 and your answer will be wrong.

What would you say is "par" for someone my level?

My understanding is that people have something like 20 billion exp at this level which I don't see how without boon...
