Ya I don't really like the "DMG" argument either cause everything is so situational. I was going only trying to point out that chance to miss matters and often more reliable > slightly more raw numbers like in the case of light weapon + nick vs two hander.
It’s also not single target damage which further mucks up the comparison. Because single target damage is most always ‘better’ than equal multitarget damage. .
That's fair. I've seen my fair share of "failure to launch" to even land the hit to start the vex chain.. often not mentioned with that build, but landing the first attack with a vex chain is a condition that often isn't mentioned.. I'd honestly rather stratify some more versatile weapon mastery and have a better source of advantage than a poopy weapon with Vex, which ends up being a poopy redundancy when you consider the other bunch of ways you can have advantage. With that same fighter I asked the DM about Purple Dragon Commandant, so he spends plenty of time bloodied and therefore, the bounds of accuracy on him stay relatively high without worrying about landing that first hit
A decent use of the inspiration indeed!Theres rerolls as well and ive seen a Vex champion in action. With elven accuracy
Pretty good, bringing home to the barbarian though. I just don't see the point as much with 2weap fighting & vex.l (besides personal fantasy). Using reckless attack to start a vex chain is redundant, to harmful. I would either reckless or tank my way into Purple Dragon (for easy advantage) and use better masteries. Rage bonus applies.. as it does for greataxing. Single targets? Switch to the Greatsword with unmatched accuracy and still crit-fish with advantage. Less attacks with greatsword, but it is on a much less reduntantly useless & stronger weapon chassis.... these options are much better with "Savage attacker as well"
