Agreed. After getting Asuran Fists, I felt it was really weak. Especially considering my BST was doing 2-3k Rampages. Something didn't work out and then remembering about the 8 hit limit, no crit, etc, I found out why it was so bad inside. I switched between Backhand and Howling and have found Howling to have better consistent results in the 1.5-2.5k range. Backhand is probably better if you get Savante with BHB+ on it though. It's just that with Taurine Cesti, I don't think the DoT loss would make up for the bigger WS.

Outside though, I continue to be impressed. Hoping to finish up Nyzul in the near future so I can get Ascetic's Fury.
