Cwb Vs Az

Here I am, comparing two items everybody knows are similar. Furthermore, with the balancing update soon™, this post will probably become null and void. I don't care if you already know this comparison, I'm posting it anyways!

Note: Market price for Corrupted Decrepit Sewers keys is ~20 each and Nii runes are ~8 each; Az is ~2 stacks of LE

We all know that this exists:

And that this exists:


The CWB can be "bought" for 3 LE and 4 EB. That may seem like a lot, but that is just ~2% of the price of an Az. You may argue that Az can drop from mobs, but the spawn rate of Nii Guardians and CDS key guardians is much higher than the 7/999999 drop chance for mythics.

Az:
Requires 80 SP
Average base melee DPS of 940 (Skill point bonus not included)
Maximum dexterity of 5
Up to a 10 % XP bonus
No walk speed penalty

CWB:
Requires 85 SP
Average base melee DPS of 726 (Skill point bonus not included)
Dexterity of 10
20% spell damage boost (In the top 5*, best guaranteed value)
*Tied spell damages have the same placing

To summarize:
Best Damage - Az
Lowest Requirements - Az
Lowest Price - CWB
Best Spell Damage - CWB
Best SP Bonus - CWB
Least Penalties - Az

Tell me which one you think is better in the poll!

 

Az*
(in your title)

 

its actually 7/999999

also Az is better because of powders actually being broken so Az is better then every thunder bow.

 

Wait, what's wrong with powders right now?

 

conversion thingys, aka az will always be better.

 

cwb of course. First who cares about the teeny-tiny xp bonus in a mythic weapon. Also as you said the price of cwb is 2% of that of Az. In this rate, that actually worth it because it has spell damage bonus, meaning the bomb of cwb is 120%. The minor dps difference can be ignored because the damage range of both weapon are similar, also archer has escape, and probably equip some gear that can boost walk speed, making -15% ws isn't really a difference. In the case when similar items are sold in an extremely different price, which one will you choose?
Wait but Az have an advantage, to show off.

 

Az is better cause of my name lets be honest here


im new idk any of this

 

Of course, Az is better statistically. However, CWB comes in very close; save your LE and use CWB instead of purchasing an Az - it's not worth it in my opinion!
