Plus the SK epic is dedicated to the wrong deity.

I'd say it the hardest period. Top 4 have to be sk, necro,mage,enc ..mage isn't hard if you have $$ its all mqable... necro & sk are pain due to drops. Enc is due to that fact 1/16 items are droppable. And they are rare..and annoying(hate,fear) as wel as crap drop rates.

You use epic vs xegony as an enc. Its pricless to me. I'm in time..and minus that wand ..nothing else has comparable stats. I use kelp hilted mace for mana/hp and proc.. But I equip epic Still at 250+ aas and time for resist gear...

don't dis the epics.. They provide exceptional stats for those not in the high high elem game.

I equiped my staff over my mace for my aid grimel combines..to max stats..

SK weapon you get BASH free w/ 2hd weapon w/o aas. And from what I've read on SK boards..windblade dps =~ to epic (not counting proc).

In summary, I'm happy to see the changes after 150+ raids to hate for 0 hides I'm glad they upping it(we bought an mq) and 31 raids to fear for the blade of mins or ct .. Dam well I am.

Enc essence has been camped by friend in the guild since the revamp of hate for ) drops for like 7+ days camping it.

I'm just sorry in case of sk epic they didn't do it sooner.

Er, no.
Epic melee DPS is less than that of , say, a reaver or the sword I linked up a few posts. It's a complete irrelevance nowadays - the only reason to do it is as a status symbol.

Greenmist, OTOH, still has a (limited) use.

I finished the shadow knight epic after 2 1/2 years, and I use it (especially on raids) even though I have a better weapon, because it looks cool and people ask me "what IS that?".

On a side note it took me 1 1/2 weeks to finish druid epic, and I'm currently halfway through ranger epic.

When it comes to finishing epics, I think people do them not because of their value, but because it's a quest and they want the satisfaction of completing something not too many people do (at least in the case of the harder ones).

Kind of like getting all tradeskills to 250....

I have no idea where you read that, since it's not true. Equipping the epic is a 15% DPS drop from a windblade - ignoring procs (and 2-hand bash with the epic). The SK epic has the same delay (within 1) of the WB and the WB ripostes for more.

The Sword of the Crypt Creeper that Itzena linked is 1721 DPM at magic number, where the epic is 1693. For reference the WMBS is 2078 and the windblade is 1977.

too bad they didn't change *that* drop rate.
