Which one does people prefer more? Which one is more valuable in terms of trading? I notice that 15>50's are way more and then some guy tells me 20<50 is way more valuable.... I got so confused for some reason.

15>50.

How often would you be at lower than 50% health and still be fighting?

Maybe 20>50 is rarer, but the demand for the item is very low, therefore much cheaper.

Look at it from the monk's point of view. Whenever someone on your team is below 50% hp, your reaction is to heal. So as a warrior with a monk covering your back, you won't really have that much time below 50. Therefore, 15>50 is more desirable and more valuable.

Yeah most average to good monks will wait until your hp is at 50-70%. Then they'll slap a heal on you for high energy efficiency.

Sometimes your hp will go below 50% and you'll be wondering what the monk is doing. Don't yell HEAL or anything, just wait a split second and watch your health jump back to max.

Word of healing, a popular PvE healing monk skill will heal for a shitload of hp if the target you're healing has less than 50% hp.

So it's usually very unlikely to have less than 50% hp and to STAY at less than 50% hp without getting killed or getting healed back to above 50%


However, someone somewhere probably figured something out...

Also, you can better control yourself having >50, than having <50...well, because...it's harder to lose health on demand ( except infuse, saccing, vampiric weapons..harder indeed ^^ )

Thus ==> 15>50

How about 15>50 vs 15/-5 energy? This is assuming the warrior uses an axe with shock or bulls strike.

There was a long thread on this a while ago and this one group of people thought you should always carry both. I jumped on that band wagon becuase it has a certian logic to it. In practice however it's like the posters above mentioned. The typical scenerio isn't to spend a bunch of time at <50% health. Hopefully the healer will be there and pump you back up.

Since then I've dumped my two 20<50. Now I have alternate weapons but mostly there are different mods rather than different inherent damage bonuses. I always have one or two vamp weapons, a zealous weapon and an elemental weapon as a switch out to stop the degen.

If you have enough weapon slots you can always keep it in reserve for thte rainy day backup.

Well in somecases like the "Solo Fissure Spider Tank" you almost NEVER have +50% hp, so in this case the 20% under 50% ownz

15/-5 is useful for adren warriors as you are getting nearly unlimited 15% dmg since adren wars dont need alot of energy the -5 isnt a great loss

15^50 has and always will be the most sought after conditional dmg mod
