Weapon Style Ideas "Nuker" vs. "Classic" TWF

[Airzlyn]

Hello Everyone. I have a TWFing Khopesh wielding Human Fighter that atm has 2 "+1 Keen Khopesh of Maiming" at lvl 6 and my goal is to be able to be an epic DPS fighter and right now with my Keens my crit range is 17-20 x3 + an extra 2d6 (maiming) and I pretty much hit a decent range of 20-70 damage and out DPS other melees a lvl above me, A question I have is: Is the "Keen Maiming" (Nuker) style worth it later game or should I look into a more classic "+2 Acid Khopesh"? please add all comments or thoughts you have about this.

Thank You

As a fighter, you have more than enough feats for improved crit: slash, allowing you to ditch the keen. At that point, look into greensteel and the like.

yeah improved crit: slash is probably your most important feat as a fighter besides improved two weapon fighting on a purely statistical basis

you can usually take it round lv 9, once you do look into things like "holy burst of pure good" or "holy burst of righteous"

This may sound stupid but I hear about "Radiance" all the time and I have no clue what it is.

It blinds enemies on critical hits, not really important unless yer a rog as blind gives auto sneak attacks..


As to your OP, i typically use a keen weapon until around lvl10 or so when i find something a bit better (or pick up improved crit as everyone above has said)

dont forget to get power attack too!

Weapons such as Rad2, Lit2 and Min2 are greensteel made in the Shroud raid. It refers to them being second tier radiance, lightning and mineral weapons. The Lit2's are some of the highest dps trash killers because of the lightning strike. Min2's are DR breakers because they gain metalline and holy/good burst, they have acid damage too but most raid bosses are either immune or have acid resistance high enough to stop that damage.

These weapons take a lot of farming, which is why you'll almost always see Shroud runs.

Beyond those are the epic weapons. They take quite a bit of farming epic (level 20) quests and raids and it upgrades a lower level item into a level 20 item.
