| Compared to Big Deaths average damage of 10 the Shocking Bursts damage of 7,55 is somewhat behind, but you can use it with a shield, it causes elemental damage and you get much better chances to hit and to overcome damage reduction.
So I would take the Throwing Axe of Shocking Burst.
I don't remember if in IWD II the enchantment bonus applies to damage done too, but if so, Shocking Burst becomes superior in average damage. |
