    Get both and put a weapon chain on the sun-eater for disarming mobs.

    I so agree with this. I have seen Tankspot put the Sun Eater first for years and have never understood it. Expecially since they are such big fans of Effective Health. Hell I’d take the KD over SE for the hit alone but add in the stam and armor and the choice seems VERY clear.

    I was just talking to a guildmate about this earlier. It does look cooler. It looks really nice with goose on it, too. You get that molten lava graphic and the lightning bolts at the same time. Still… if I personally had KD (which I don’t), I’d be using it on most fights.
