Black Bruise Heroic.

[Johnp]

I'm seeking some reliable information about Black Bruise Heroic and Necrotic touch.

Aldriana's last spreadsheet says that Black Bruise (277) + Flesh-Carving Scalpel (264) it's a 150 dps increase when comparing to Frost Giant's Cleaver (264) + Scourgebone Waraxe (277).

As a Troll rogue, I don't have any expertise bonuses using axes or fists so I'm inclined to use the MH with the most DPS, in this particular case Black Bruise with 250.56. I'm still reluctant because I never read some conclusive information about Necrotic Touch, how it's scales with gear and how good is Black Bruise 277 comparing to other main hands.

I'm kindly asking for your help, thanks.

Dunno, try checking again as for my gear the difference between those weapon sets is only 50 dps in favor of the fist setup (assuming I'm a troll). I doubt your gear choices get any more flexible with adding that 5% crit you gain as a tradeoff (though this only gives me 1% more crit than I had with the axes). If you already have the fist I would use it, lungbreaker aint that popular among anyone so it should be easy to get. If you don't have the fist and someone else still wants it I'd probably save my dkp for something else (bloodvenom or lk axe).

As for Necrotic Touch I think it works exactly like necrosis for DKs, only for physical attacks and doesn't benefit from ebon plague or the likes so it's really not that good. Don't know if blade flurry hits proc the damage but I doubt that.
