LW Weapons - Phoenix Freeshard

I would appreciate feedback on LW weapons and what the experienced Champs/Heros find most effective 1v1.

For my Champ temp I am weaponless, so I was considering some options around different procs and player-crafted vs ROGs vs feather LW items.
Slash DOT: Player Crafted
Crush DOT: Destroyer of Dreams
Slash Haste: Player Crafted
Crush Haste: Player Crafted
Slash Lifetap: Primal Great Shard or ROG
Crush Lifetap: Vine Covered Hammer or ROG
Slash Damage Add: Vine Covered Sword
Crush Damage Add: Knobled Great Hammer

Am I missing anything here?

Which procs do you think are best?

What order do you apply the procs (e.g. Haste first, then Damage Add)?

Thanks for your thoughts!

I wouldn't bother with the damage add weapons, just get charges put on some low level MP gloves or whatever and /use from your bag.

Stable Honing Arcanium Tincture
Charge, 11.3 dmg add for 30sec, rut 2min
You can just craft lvl1 MP cloth boots/gloves and apply to it
It will be 10 charges on MP gear, 7 charges on 99% gear, etc, .....

I don't personally like using dmg add charge but this is what Astaa referred to.

Thanks for the feedback.

So far we have that Damage Add procs are not the greatest and can be used from items rather than Feather weapons.

Any other thoughts on Haste/DOT/LT preferences, order and which weapons are preferred?

Played a vw on live, dps increased more with proc haste than dot, dd, debuff or add damage.
And his duration is 1 minute.

Due pot buffs i don't bother with anything else. So I like LT weapons. On my Hero I use primal shard. But If I get ahold of a slower LT Weapon I'll switch to it.

Dots are nice. But I like to try and control the persons movements. And a dot would just break the different snares I put on them.

Most of the fights I'm in are vs with multiple assassin types. >< so the only charge i use while engaged is the DA. And ofc a ranged DD.

From my experience and testing,

Haste is a waste (14 vs 20%, barely noticeable impact on DPS for the effort and lost opportunity to use other procs, e.g. DA)
DoTs are great solo, especially if you can stack them (energy, heat, matter)
DA is also king and why spend your /use on DA when LW is one of the few weapon classes with easy access to DA proc on nice weapons?

I've been opening with one DA of each type, then switching to Dot/LT depending the scenario. If you think you'll need your snare at some point in the fight, don't use the DoT.

Might start trying to see if I can fit a second DoT-type into the rotation, but with regards to the haste hammer I just haven't found 4% haste-gain worth the effort.

And I /use legion charge immediately following purge always vs assassins, so I want that /use timer free.
