Trying to figure out which weapon is better

[Penitent Pilgrim]

My old weapon is +92 combined rating with +411 power and +411 defense with one slot. I found a weapon that has +117 combined rating with +150 accuracy and +45 combat advantage and no slot. Which is better and why?

thanks

What lvl are youre Hero? Take the +117 combined rating with +150 accuracy and +45 combat advantage and no slot.

Game have much more better weapons!

Also look at the item number as generally the higher one is the better weapon overall. If you open up the campaign page it'll say recommended total item level to play each of the campaigns (first one's are like 11k with it going up into the 20's for the harder ones.

The real pain in choosing begins at 70+ lvl since in current balance some 70lvl weapons might be better for some builds than most 80lvl ones ... why? the bonus.

Earlier when weapons still had dmg the higher lvl ones were better by clear margin.

On your question: 1st one seems a better choice. It'll probably help you keep those def and power stats above 50% (reason). But don't ponder too much about weapons. They became much less relevant. Till 60+ you might not see much difference between use of the low and high level ones :/

Actually, once you get there what really matters now is what type of equip-able power the artifact weapon set gives which is one of the reasons that the Mirage weapon set from the River District has become so popular.

Not to worry though, according to all reports endgame players are claiming it is to powerful compared to the lionheart and the newer endgame weapon set that they have (which used to be and are supposed to be the most powerful weapon sets in the game) and in this case they will have to Nerf the River District set(s) equip-able power into the ground and to probably keep doing that until the new endgame artifact weapon sets are the #1 choice again.

Yeah, sounds like something they'll do.

I also use Drowned set on my tank since being able to regnerate 50% of hp in 30 sec, every 60 sec is way more useful than ~700IL difference and much less tanky bonus.

Many 'old' sets in fact became competitors to newest ones after the 'combat patch' so there will be no doubt several nerfs.
