Pain, the Half of Whole
Suffering, the Half of Whole



Crimson:
7[1d4+3]+15
Vamp
slay living (no save but hp limit)
5 con dmg
-10 PRR on hit
10d6 evil (35 avg)
10 d8 bleeding (45 avg)


Pain (in set)
7.5[1d4+3]+15
Vuln
Vorp
25 sneak dmg

Suff(in set)
7[1d4+3]+15
5 con dmg
-10 PRR
31.5 piercing


Ok so suffering has the same debuffs, so those cancel
You get basically 38.5 extra effect dmg per hit from crimson
You get 35 extra effect dmg from crimson and vet pain.

So it comes down to

Slay living vs Sov Vorpal (tough call)—vorp works on bosses tho (15 extra dmg on avg)

Pain = +.5[w] + Vulnerable
Crimson = 63.5 effect dmg


If no one else has vulnerable, P&S clearly win
Let’s use a dmg mod and MP to check tho

150 dmg mod (pulled from rear)
200 melee power

Pain gets 170 dmg from the .5w
AND the sneak dmg scales 25*2*1.5=75 sneak dmg

Seems clear to me that P&S wins overall.

Crimson MIGHT be better for trash if the proc has a good rate. Plus you get vampirism.


Meh stick with P&S

Like every group, there are schlubs and there are stars, and a lot in between. Pick your cause and I can say the same thing about the associated group.

The slay effect has no save. So that’s cool. But it has an unknown HP cap
according to a dev post.

In DDO, VERY few monsters are immune to Evil damage. Just because a monster's alignment is Evil, that does not necessarily mean they're immune to Evil damage.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
