The Yun blunt is ok, but the ibis is definitely better. Only weapon better than an ibis is the T4 sword.
no
T3 crafted blunt is better then Ibis!
In some situations is even better then T4 sword!
For TO: the yun is pretty nice weapon too!
I haven't tested thoroughly but I use yellow priest blunt in my tri-brid spec and ibis when I'm not feating general at all.
I think the hate helps more on the lower DPS build.
Baneric / Munok / Johnkruk / Tomjones / Elgranorgo
US first kills - Arch Lector Zaal, Bat of Nerd Rage, Emperor, Cloud, and Entity.
Both are very good.
The ibis is better as a pure dps weapon and really shines on mobs with little protection.
Louhi is the one fight in T3 were I actually focus on dps and equip negative hate gear to not get agro on the fight (pyjama suit and tigers gear same the neg hate pieces still get the same problem) and hopefully be able to do more dps. Even with -3.2 hate I can still pull Louhi doing sub 1,800 dps, maybe I need more neg hate or less crit rating so I don't spike damage so much.
If anyone knows how to get more neg hate without going to bad gear and losing lots of dps can they PM me, I already have the fort talisman, melee dps cloak from SC, YP faction wrists and the blue shoulders but it's not enough neg hate and I'm not sure getting the purple YP shoulders will help either.
I have both.
I have used Yun blunt (Blossoming Death) for long time before getting Ibis.
I haven't noticed an evident difference in aggro with both weapons, so aggro is comparable and you will not notice any difference in most situations.
Ibis will provide you a bit more DPS though, while Yun blunt will help you stay over 50% mitigation when using some Wisdom stuff, Tiger chest or Talisman for example.
If you can't have both, go with any of the two and you will be ok.
Also ofc hate increase will be useful when DPS is lowered for some reason.
In the end, stats on Ybis blunt are more properly "tank stats", but we all know that 1% crit rating is better than 1% hate increase in most situation for DT to generate aggro (actually Ibis gives +0,75% Crit Rating when properly gemmed).
