    Default Question for you math nuts...

    So, the carniflex crits on a 15, pretty sick when you crit over 200 a pop....but my +3 holyburst of right does some nice damage too, just doesnt cirt as much. so whats better mathmatically?

    It sort of depends on the enemy's ac but the Carnifex is, in general, equivalent to a +5 elemental greataxe in dps(obviously, it's worse against non-crittables). Not sure where the fascination with it came from.

    edit: Not sure what numbers I used when I originally checked this, but it appears closer to an elemental burster for the range 30-40 str. Better than I originally suspected but your alignment burster probably beats it for enemies of the proper alignments.

    Most of the named weapons have a lower level requirement than a normal weapon with those stats would have, thus allowing lower level characters to wield them.

    I suppose it's good for sub-9 leveling(Keen is useful!), but I can never seem to pull it on a barbarian below 9.
