How about Radiance II rapiers?

[Blazer]

Unholy, evil burst, evil blast.

No autocrit, just sneak attacks for everyone, so if you've got the VoD goggles...good times.

They do Fire all the time and Light damage on a critical. Also on a critical there's a chance they'll be blinded. Blinded mobs automatically get sneak attack damage from rogues. If you're a rogue with Crippling Strike, every Sneak Attack you do ALSO does 2 points of Strength damage. Once the mob has no strength, critcals are automatic.

I know you're not a Rogue so I'm just suggesting it really for the Fire and Light damage.

Sounds to me like you are done crafting, so please forward all of your remaining/future larges to Slinky.

Hey,

I made an unmatched set of weapons for fire creatures. A frost/icyburst/icyblast/crushing wave scimitar and an acid/evilburst/acidblast/dust 2 scimitar.

Crushing wave is actually quite nice for the DR- and crit immune fire creatures (elementals and living spells). It's about an extra 40 damage/second and procs almost constantly. The caveat is that many of those mobs cast ice protection periodically, so you get the white zeros along with the purpley goodness. It's not so great against effriti and fire reavers.

The dust 2 weapon is just plain fun. The disintigrate proc does slightly less damage than lightning strike (about 450 or so), but it's never resisted. I don't think there is a better weapon for elementals or living spells. Mephits feel the pain too.

And the total investment for both weapons is 6 large devil scales, a nice bargain. I was inspired to make these after running Enter The Kobald.

Happy Hunting.

I too really like Dust. It is nice to do untyped, no resist damage everyone often that is massive.

Roll up a new character?
Run something else so you get to use your Uber weapons?

Does the Dust proc a lot? Do you have a Lightning II that you could compare it to?

[Lufia]

Try Crafting Dual Vaccum Rapiers?

They cast trap the soul on the enemies, would be fun for future alchemy things to collect soul stones.

[Dark-Star]

Craft another character. You have crafting overkill on that one.

[ducetrae]

so i think i will roll another toon his name will be socrates

I do not have a lightning 2 weapon. But the Dust 2 procs at about 2%. If you want to do more testing, look me up on Nuckles.

[apacheizm23]

Agreed. Nothing wrong with playing Just 1 Little ol character tho.
