Did not read the details, but
Currently all combo weapons do equal or more damage vs abs stuff.
As a troll warrior i just do full abs + parry trinks and i parry some hits vs 1 as opppsed to eating everything in abs.
Bash is ... same with any abs weapon compared to say finely + shield
So naturally at least in low numbers pk, its combo >>> abs.
Abs only good if you packing

Did do abs for like 20 years but really if your abs its like you need a combo/dodge friend to
A) buff for you
B) break the defence so you can actually deal damage instead of just eating it.
C)dont get me started on sblade + attack + master damage
