Againsts Devils/Orthons is a +5 Holy Khopesh of Pure Good better than Rad or Lit II ?

I bought this particular khopesh for 40k plat. Not sure if it was a deal or not, but i'm thinking it was.

Next Ice Games, i'll put an icy burst kit on it, as well, so it will become a

+5 Holy Icy Burst Khopesh of Pure Good.

On Devils and especially bosses, where the blindness from Rad II means nothing, i'm guessing this khopesh will be better, yeah?

Sidenote, on most orthons/devils/bosses icy burst will do squat.

I don't think people use Radiance II against bosses anyway, so I don't quite understand why you'd ask that.

Better than Mineral II? No. Better than Lightning II? Absolutely not.

on devils the icy burst will do nothing, so its a plain +5 holy of pg

lets to the quick math:

this kopesh:
+5: 5
holy: 7
pg: 3,5
= 15,5 extra damage

lightning:
+5: 5
holy: 7
shockingburst: 3,5
lightning strike: ~16
= 31,5 extra damage not counting crits

radiance:
+5: 5
holy: 7
radiance: 14*0,2=2,8
= 14,8 extra damage

so its lightning > your kopesh > radiance
though i didnt take into account that the radiance one has a higher base die so it prolly will be even to yours

It should squeak out at about .3 damage ahead of the +5 holy pg, if I'm doing my math right.

And radiance will continue being even better at everything else, where it's fire damage applies. Also, if you have a sneak attack item, it will add even more effective DPS by giving you your sneak damage.

Lightning strike beats pretty much all non-holy/greater bane random gen weaponry just with the lightning bolts, much less the damage it always deals.
