Greenblade on a sorc

[lugoman]

Why is greenblade so sought after by sorcs? A greenblade increases crits by 9% with .25 multiplier while a major lore item does 9% with a .5 multiplier and is much easier to get. I guess greenblade would save you some inv space and swapping for elemental lore weapons. The extra force damage (max 30) doesnt seem much when you are doing 100's ( or 1000's) of damage. I assume greenblade works with disintegrate, but I dont use that much anymore.

You mentioned 2 very good reasons in your post (Disintegrate, inventory saver)...

It's nice to spam Polar Ray/Scorching Ray without having to swap weapon sets to get the correct lore for each.

What's desintegrate got to do with greenblade anyway?

Also, you could simply craft a bluescale docent or get a skiver.

What do WF sorc usually go with for their arcane lore item?

Disintegrate is an untyped damage spell,therefore the only way to get crits is with a arcane lore item.Cause there is no untyped lore items.

Crafting a bluescale docent is great in theory but DT is superior and you would save a grind of about a year :|

Skiver?lol.

greenblade is the easiest to obtain as DQ 2 can be soloed easily by a cleric / FvS / Sorc - Wiz / Ranger.

I prefer the Abbot necklace. Keeps the docent spot free for DT docent and keeps the hands free for other things. Plus the clicky on the Abbot necklace is very useful for mana management while nuking.

I asked about desintegrate because the way the OP asked, it seemed like there was some unwriten bonus to untyped dmg on the greenblade. Every arcane has a lore item anyway, and yes I know arcane lore counts towards every spells.

after all skiver is better coz the mana saving function and +sp on it.

but epic greenblade is nice too. for standard greenblade, it's ok for most casters

Disintegrate suffers the same problem as Blade Barrier; an Arcane/Greater Arcane Lore item is the only way to get it to crit, as there are no enhancements or lore items specifically for untyped damage (Blade Barrier is technically slashing damage, but same concept)

ps: why new players have this attitude to learn........
