I can't think of a single time I've ever not been /sam. Is it worth it to keep 5/5 on desperate blows considering I only need 3/5 to cap JA haste with hasso? The only time I wouldn't be over the cap is when I'm using seigan/third eye, but most of those times I don't really want to be in total zerg mode anyway.
It's entirely possible that I've been doing VW wrong, but since until recently I only ever had OAT g.sword, I focused on maintaining 5-hit. I generally seemed to be able to keep up with damage in Voidwatch being about 4-5% behind some ragnarok Drk's that I know aren't terrible so it never seemed a bad choice though I never checked with spreadsheet. Now that I have apoc though, /war in VW might be better with it than Fulg.
Dropping two merits in desperate blows would let me cap diabolic eye for another 5% accuracy (seems nice given adoulin release) and one more in D.seal which can be a nice 10% reduction on dread spikes or drain 2.
With XP flowing like the mana of heaven, seems easy enough to experiment, but wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something or being asininely stupid by never going /war. Thx for input~
