Radiance Rapier or Khopesh?

[Djeserit]

I am wondering which of these I should be creating. I'd like to hear from those with experience. Is the crit range on a khopesh good enough? I mean will you get the blind effect fast enough? If you have a Rad rapier in one hand, is that good enough to carry something else in the other?

Khopesh

RAPIER!

No question. Blind is on-crit, and khopesh has 33% less crits than a rapier

On my own rogue I carry dual rad2 rapiers. I do not regret the extra 6 large scales it cost to make the offhand one, as I STILL occasional get long stretches of no blindness.

race?

2 rapiers rock.

I also have 2 Rad1 khopeshes on a rog/barbarian crit rage 2. The DPS is sick.

I would definitely take the khopeshes on a STR build and rapiers on a Dex build

Either make 2 rapiers or 2 scimitars. Crit range is the same. If you are an elf its even better. If you go scimitars you can still have crit slashing for kopesh.

I am Warforged. In my current incarnation.

I don't have weapon finesse, even though my dex is a bit higher than my strength.

I don't have scimitar proficiency I think. But that is a great suggestion.

If you have 2 levels of pally which I believe is what u stated in your original post. Then you have scimitar as it is included in the martial proficiency.

Crtis = blindness = sneak attacks = damage So More Crtis = More blindness = More sneak attacks = More damage


Radiance isn't affected by the multiplier; so go with the max crit range weapon so you crit more often and get sneak attacks more often.

Either make 2 rapiers or 2 scimitars.

This is the best way to go. Finesse go Rapiers, Str builds go Scimitar.
