GS Khopesh for Paladin - Min2 or Lit2?

[slothinator]

I have a lvl 20 paladin, KOTC III, and I am ready to make my first GS khopesh (already have the blank, just need one more LDS for tier 3). Should I make a lit2 or a min2? I'm leaning towards the lit2 since I have holy sword/crafting to fall back on for DR breaking, but wanted to hear the opinions of those who know more about the subject.

I think you answered your own question. Lightning is a great general purpose weapon.

Lit2. You can up Cannith Crafting to make beaters and you have Holy Sword.

Lit2 is a superior trash beater, and actually outperforms the min2 on normal harry and sully, or so I've been told. Unless you are running a lot of elite raids or eadq2 (since this is your first gs I assume not), get the lit2.

Yeah, I'd never make a MinII on a 14+ Pali.

Go for LitII.

for below lv 14, you still want lit II :P

Harry's DR is 15 on Normal. LitII does more than 15 extra electrical damage per hit on average, so the Metalline property is more than balanced by that on Normal. The acid resistance that Harry has eats up all of the MinII acid damage except on a lucky damage roll on a vorpal hit.



Unless you are running a lot of elite raids or eadq2 (since this is your first gs I assume not), get the lit2.

And a Holy Sword will also beat down Lailat, so it's all good in the neighborhood.

Thanks for the replies. LitII it will be!!!

PS - I assume the correct sequence would be holy (pos) / shocking burst (air) / shocking blast (air+pos). Is this correct?

Yes, that's the one I would make.

This is false. Devil bosses no longer have acid resistance. Min II's may beat Lit II's on Normal content now, but I haven't done the math.

This is not false. DEMONS no longer have acid resistance. DEVILS still have acid resistance. Take your MinII into the Shroud and check for yourself. I did.

All 0's for every acid number except for an occasional low number on the Acid Blast on a 20.


Edit: I understand how there could be some confusion there since the release notes weren't especially clear. I did actively test this myself on a my Ranger who has a MinII Khopesh.

You're right. I came back to edit my post, but you beat me to it. I'll let the error stand.
