It's 1 freaking point.  The 36% is nothing but ONE POINT.  It's like when news folks try to scare you into listening or reading an article by telling you that if you drink a beer your chance of butt cancer goes up by 100%, but then you realize that your chances went went from .000001 to .00001 or something.I certainly wouldn't give up on a weapon that I liked for my character concept over a point or even a few points of damage, especially in 5e where everything is a big bag of hit points, so the bits of damage don't really matter in the short term, and individually all fights are short term.It is, because you aren't getting either one of those numbers outside of a white room.  In the vast majority of actual play you have a party with you so it dies in 3-4 rounds no matter which weapon you are using.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt="(y)" title="Thumbs up    (y)"  data-smilie="22"data-shortname="(y)" /></blockquote>
