Best light weight weapon for tempest rangers

[Dreams_of_Destiny]

Hello

Would anyone here happen to know a light weight weapon that can higher dps than swords like elemental fury or royal scimitar, so far these are the best I can find atm. Any other good swords are welcomed too, thanks in advance.

Depends on your level and what you're fighting, since scimi's are light weapons then look at:

Epic Leopards Chill
Frostbite Blade
Celestial (short sword, good as dr breaker/ooze & portal beater)
ToEE scimitar upgraded for the set bonus.

Thunderforged

Legendary Greensteel

If you're looking at weapons you can use for weapon finesse, then Balizarde is really good. (It's you're best choice by far at 23 to 26+ depending on what other weapons you have).

I personally am a Khopesh build, but I use balizardes until 28 unless I need to bypass a metal based dr and then I use Thunderforged.

If you are making a ToEE set, consider making it a kukri so that if you do an assassin life, it can be used again.

While this list is intended for Swashbucklers, some of the weapons are good for Tempests as well, in particular the short swords. Even if you're specced for scimitars, Razorend is a nice mid-teens weapon, since it's keen (so you don't need IC:Pierce) and Tendon Slice will apply to both hands. Rapiers will work with DWS Improved Weapon Finesse even if you don't take the Weap Finesse feat, though you will need the feat if you want DEX to-hit w/rapiers.

Drow scimitar is nice for ML:21 for the larger crit range (becomes 12-20/x3 w/IC:Slash & rgr bonuses) and 3[W] modifier.

Another vote for epic loepards chill, its very nice in the u29 qsts.

Would eLeopards Chill+ToEE scimitar+ToEE armor still be worthwhile for current endgame? Or is there some other combo that today's discerning Tempest uses? :cool:

I am not a scimi user. Leopards is probably best for certain raids (DOJ / Legendary Shroud). I'm currently running 2 tf, however once I get sightless, I'll either run tf main / toee off or legendary gs main / toee off.
