We need more Kukris please

[krimsonrane]

The AH has less than 1 page, there is 1 epic and kukris almost never drop in chests.

[orobold]

Agreed. Meanwhile u can craft some nice cormyrian ones from the challenges. If they actually fix the life stealing ones, those can be top gear for ee

Oh they're "fixing" life stealing all right....


I guess I should have checked how many other kukri's were on the AH before I posted one the other night. It sold really quick, I probably could have gotten a lot more for it. :D

There need to be more shortswords and kamas. With monks having only kama and shortswords for use with ninja spy (these are the only ki piercing/slashing weapons available without fighter splash), a HUGE chunk of ninjaspy core enhancements are useless in a pure monk, especially since they are killing off handwrap piercing dex-to-damage entirely.

Yeah, the class should be allowed to use more than totally absent kama and shortswords with ninja spy. Using dual celestias or a celestia and a rebellion is OK, but really? That is an exceptionally narrow range of choices for elite equipment. Brush hook, the only epic kama, is really good only for dr breaking. It has a terrible crit range, and does only mediocre damage.

Why make an enhancement tree and shaft 50% of it for the class trying to go pure.

I use them all the time, strap several to the nearest halfling and give her a good toss into a crowd.

So star of day. Looks fantastic on ddowiki. Especially the one there. I've farmed it several times, and have always ended up with junk. My favorite, is disruption + fiery detonation. It is a piercing, magic weapon that isn't even good aligned. Talk about useless in a fight with most undead, let alone actually useful in a conventional fight. Give me my random smashing/slicing disruption lootgen weapons, like my silver fiery burst disruption stick.

There are lots of shortsword options. Celestia, Rebellion, multiple Star of Day mutations, Cutthroat's Smallblade, Envenomed Blade, Tiefling Assassin's Blade, Sunblade... lots to choose from for all levels.

Kamas are awesome for Druids in animal form and casters with monk levels.

dont forget vampiric fury shortswords from droam chain

[sebastianosmith]

Sure. Crafted Holy of Undead Bane for zombies. It's about all they're good for, but I really dislike zombies.

In _epic_, you don't have all those options. Epic cutthroats blade requires griding, and _may_ be available once a year, when they open it. Star of Day mutations have a high chance for suck. Epic eblade is, well, not terribly interesting. Epic sting, maybe a bit. _1_ epic kama.

Once you are over 20, any hope of using dexfordam with a pure monk is over. You either hyper specialize in one or two actual weapons, not weapon groups, or you ignore dextodam entirely. Go u19r3.

At least currently, you could use anything that is monk-able to get dextodam that you could pierce/slice with, including sirteth or whatever it is, ivy wraps, brawlers gloves, etc etc. Brawlers gloves as a matter of fact make dextodam work for _every handwrap_ in the game. Until the next update.

How about them true druidic hearts?

If 19-20/x3 is terrible crit range for you, I wonder which one is good.
