    Im hoping someone can help me to understand the math at work here. Having the blood rune rifle with lets say 409-514 damage after glyphs to lvl 60 and having the herald gun with 628-928 damage after glyphs to lvl 60, the blood rune gun comes out to show you as having slightly more damage. Now this is with 4 gold lines on each one. I know the blood rune rifle has an extra 100% damage on the item but the herald gun has over 400 more damage on the high end so how can the extra 100% on the blood rune rifle make that much of a difference? And you get the higher attack speed from the blood rune rifle and an attack speed bonus if you have 3 pieces of the set. Just trying to understand the math and which is really the better weapon. Thanks for any help in clarifying this.

    While I am not a dwarf, I can offer my opinion regarding the q7 weapon. There is no weapon in this game that give you so much on the farming side as the Herald weapon, because the bonus acts almost as next level of essence. While the bloodmoon weapon is also good, the bonuses you get on the Q7 is just too big versus all the other weapons regarding farming. One day in the future dragan weapon could also be good only when combined with the spider set bonuses and only when dragan shoulders become for example tier 10 which means a lot of block rate stats on it then craft a near pefect 80% block item, so you gain some defensive stats when combined with the spider set. Something in the lines as the old dragan set which had some usable def stats. I am sure someone can give you the exact math on your question although I remember someone did the math a long time ago.

    That 100% apply to a lower base so you will have the same damage with both weapon maybe lower dmg with q7 about 20% and you lose some speed wih q7 but you get 150% damage from skill so you will manage to exceed the Blood rune damage with 100% maybe more.
    Better weapon is Q7.In your case if you have under 2.3 speed you can use blood rune rifle untill you farm some 2h runes to reach that speed with q7 weapon.
    I use blood rune sword but i dont have the necesary burst to kill bosses and for killing bosses Q7 is best.
    I cat play with q7 i dont like to have a management on skills, i.m warr and i dont have free hits like other clases so if i,m not full on rage i spam the skill for nothing.

    so just one question, why 3x IDotI and 1x Increased DMG on the blood rune rifle instead of 4 x IDotI?

    And thanks to everyone for your replies, its a big help.

    I have 3x IDotI and 1x Increased DMG on the blood rune sword and i think is more eficient 4x IDotI because i lose allot of damage when i put ess and the ess are inevitable.Also you have 100% increase damage on this item that will grow much better if you have 4x IDotI.In my opinion 4x IDotI is the best you can have on weapon or 3x IDotI and %Crit damage (for crit classes 2h weapons) because it will multiply a much bigger number than Increased DMG.
    I have craft an 1h axe with 3x IDotI and 1 crit dmg but i dont like that because the enchantment on 1h weapon dont have the same value as IDotI enchantments (35% vs 50%)so you loose damage.
