Best Weapons for: Elementals

[LargeMarge]

best weapon i have for elementals is on my blunt specced wf fighter, a +5 frost maul of greater elemental bane, not sure if its the best, but its what i use when i play that character

thats a really nice weapon...

I was thinking that one of the best elemental weapons would be a...

Icy Burst (Rapier/Scimitar/Kukri) of Greater Elemental Bane

[Drfirewater79]

What weapon do you think is the best weapon for elementals? In-other-words, what is the best weapon to carry arround for fighting against Elementals?

I'm looking for a Prefix Name, Metal, Weapon Type and a Suffix Name.

For example...Icy Burst Adamantine Rapier of Greater Elemental Bane.

Try to provide some sort of reasoning to why you think your chosen weapon is the BEST.

Thanks for your help.

i love my monks weapon +2 Shocking burst handwraps of greater elemental bane.
but i would say prolly something similar with icy burst is the best cause all of them take damage to it and it does more damage against fire ele's

as it stands there are no ice ele's yet and most dont engage air ele's with weapons so shocking or icy burst greater ele banes are the best in my opinion.

I wonder if a quicker kill (post Mod-9) could be acheived by using weapons to lower the elemental's ability score to Zero, and then switching to a killing-by-critical damage weapon ?

The elemental would have to have a heck of a lot of Hit Points for this to make a difference, or if I were soloing the elemental then I could see doing this. In a group the combined damage of the team will probably continue to make this a moot point.

LMFAO, someone got that at last Was testing you Clam...but you still FAILFAILFAIL!!!

Stat them down to autocrit, then Dreamspitter them to death.

It still takes quite a while to take them down with negative levels being elementals have roughly 1.5 to 2.5 Hit Dice per CR.

But its still cool watchin' 'em go down...

Point. Mt Reysalon eles go down faster with frost gebs than wound/dreamspitter (solo scaled)...no cue that their con is gone may (or may not) be part of that.

Do eles stone?

I do believe you can petrify them, but they do not have flesh.

In other words, you can turn them to stone with Prismatic Ray/Spray, but not with Flesh to Stone.

Gotcha. So an enervating arcane + wounding melees + FoD might be a reasonable setup for SoS 3, otherwise it'll be all straight DPS next mod?

Stealer of Souls fire elementals have Sor'jek's Command, which protects them from instant death effects and mental effects. Finger of Death is not a way to take them down.

There we go, then.

Something of Weighted 5% and hit em with stunning blow.

Immunity vs. stun.

[Spisey]

I kind of like triple negative gs for most ele's and mephits. You still do not bypass dr but at least none of you numbers come up "immune".

Dual Ash II wielding Assassin III's with the new belt and an enervation guard item?

I'll wager the enervate proc will only go on an SA, but I could be wrong. And in any event, because those are procs, I'm not sure that would be any faster than wound to 0 and dreamspitter.

Sounds like frost gebs or water III's ftw.

shouldn't that be GEBs not GUBs?

Fixed.

The Elemental Union got together and decided that with their newfound immunity vs. CON deaths that they'd rather be called Ubermentals. I believe Sableshadow was right.
