Khopesh for Barbs...

[Illuminati]

Thanks Gol for figuring this out for his ranger, but I am thinking of the following for my TWF human Barb build...


Basically, 1d10+5 (~10.5) + 2d6 Holy (~6.5) + Acid Burst (?) +2 Strength / +2 Con (stacks) for a DPS set.

2 Weps for 90% of the game.

"
My current plan (subject to change pending special tier 3 combo packages)
Main Hand: Khopesh with MDP1 / MDE2 / +2 Con Version of MEW3
Off Hand: Khopesh with MDP1 / MDE2 / MEW3

MDP1 : Material + Dominion + Positive = Holy
MDE2 : Material + Dominion + Earth = Acid Burst
MEW3 : Material + Escalation + Water = +2 Strength (stacking)

My Tier 2 combos are the same (Positive + Earth), so each weapon will have 2x clicky of level 16 Stoneskin. I'm only going DPS on my Green Steel weapons. I have enough non-DPS weapons for situational use and I'm just looking for some new DPS sticks. My only complaint is that you can't get Transmuting on these or I'd be more excited about them.

With the changes to good burst, might try a holy/good burst/good blast, then dual-wield the holy, (elemental) +2str.

All of these do less dps then say a flaming burst greater bane or transmuting greater bane, etc. Level 16 weapons and armor have barerly been hit (shroud on elite) and when they do some cool weapon combos will be in there. Holy burst of greater bane maybe in a race required weapon...

I'd take a small percentage less dmg overall for 400% more bag space =)

I actually anticipate better weapons then flaming burst of greater bane. People had those way back when. The top end weapons will be more like +5 flaming bust of greater bane, etc..
