Weakening of Enfeebling

[Tunes_Steele]

Wondering if there is a market for these? I have a number of these piling up dust. I was planning on testing them with my duel wielding ranger, but haven't gotten around to it.

So, my question really is:

Does anyone use these? If so, how effective are they?



BTW, I understand they are not in the same class as w/p. I'm not asking if this type of weapon is as good as w/p, just wondering if they are servicable and therefor sellable.

My rogue is going to use them until he gets a radiance 2.

I tried a few dual rapier combinations, including weakening/enfeebling. In a group they are ok as a debuffer to increase crits and lower damage taken, but when running solo I did not find them to be very effective. Problem is its just more efficient to use banishing, vorpal, WoP or high DPS weapons instead.

Pairing one with a deathnip or other crit dependent weapon is nice, especially in a a group where others benefit from the increased crits.

Not sure what the market is for them, I wouldnt expect a whole lot.

situational but effective. I have dual weakening enfeebling kopeshes and when the STR dops its crit crit crit.

Its also handy on those mobs that take some time to drop because after a few seconds their str is to low to land a blow on ya.

of course w/p is quicker and more fun....still working on landing more of those myself heh.

I like them situationally.

A crippling strike rogue tends to be the one who can benefit the most from a weakening of enfeebling weapon due to the sheer STR draining power they can dish out.

I have personally played with a couple weakening of enfeebling weapons myself on a ranger and a cleric but I didn't quite find it as useful as other types of weapons. Overall, STR is one of the highest monster stats in the game also (CON is fairly close) so causing STR helplessness can be slow to achieve.
