Why are Anger and Wrath even in the game?

I got 20k DPS using dual ungils with wrath and anger. Wrath might be OP to be honest.

I'm running a LA ranger with a Lioneye's Glare and both wrath and anger gives more dps than hatred. I can see hatred being better if you have a 400+ phys dps 2hander though.

Interesting. The voltaxic example makes perfect sense to me, but I would have assumed that a pure phys like Lioneye would do better from Hatred, but I guess it is the LA conversion. I've never made an LA. Thanks very much for the info.

Its simple math really. A fully leveled hatred gives what, 40% phys dmg as cold? So that means that 40% of your base physical damage needs to exceed the ~30-300 lightning damage wrath provides. Keep in mind a huge part of bow dps comes from attack speed, which is why flat elemental damage scales so well with it. Might be worth mentioning that i have arcing blows (30% lightning damage) as well. :)
