Apocalypse Vs Guardian

is guardian better than apocalypse at every aspect?

 

Apocalypse is useful for like 81-99 stuff and is a lot better in melee than Guardian if you decide to use it for endgame stuff (Heavy Melee and Tierstack Apoc are probably better than any Guardian melee build), but Guardian is way more optimal in spell.

 

Guardian is far superior in spell builds. Apocalypse is Melee-based, so use it with heavy melee/tierstack and it'll outdo guardian there

Both are solid weapons in their own right.

Apocalypse is also 10 times cheaper, if budget is an issue.

 

Apocalypse is also really good at heavy melee; while it doesn't do the most damage the high defense and lifesteal help to make your build practically unkillable.

 

The way I see it there is practically no reason to buy apocalypse

Praesidium or undying can do the exact same job as apoc for a fraction of the cost
