+5 Greensteel Khopesh Help

[~UrgtFury]

I crafted two +5 Greensteel Khopesh now I have collected a grip of ingredents to upgrade them at each altar, I wanted to get others opinons on what to put on them, I am a human fighter lvl18 dual wielding khopesh swords? Thanks

Most people will say holy acid burst acid blast mineral II. That's a good choice. Personally, I say Lightning IIs are a lot fun.

[~UrgtFury]

That first build would be:

+5 Greensteel Khopesh (1d10, 19-20/x3) With Holy, +2d6 vs. Evil,
Acid Burst, +1d6 acid, +1d10/2d10/3d10 on crit - Stoneskin (2/day),
Acid Blast (1d10 * (critical multiplier -1) on Critical, + 4d6 on 20)

Second would be:

+5 Greensteel Khopesh (1d10, 19-20/x3) With Holy, +2d6 vs. Evil,
Shocking Burst, +1d6 electrical, +1d10/2d10/3d10 on crit - Chain Lightning (3/day)
Shock Blast (1d10 * (critical multiplier -1) on Critical, + 4d6 on 20)

I wont build until I get more info on this, I have been collecting for weeks and dont want to mess it up if it could be alot better... Thanks for your input.

I will be paying attention to this thread since I myself am about to create Greensteal Khopesh's

The 3rd tier on a "MinII" weapon is a "dual-shard" tier. The third tier is both positive and earth to create an EM (earth/mineral) dual shard. This makes the third tier:

acid blast + transmuting + keen/impact + slicing + hardness + durability

The key feature is the transmuting and the holy combo--which bypasses devil/demon raid boss DR.

Same thing with the lightning--it is dual tier positive/air (AL) which gives:

shock blast + lightning strike (rare chance of 600 damage lightning attack)

[stormarcher]

(rare chance of 600 damage lightning attack)

So as a twf hasted/rogue or fighter haste boost fighting at 32% would that make the chance to hit 600 even higher?

If so should i put this onto one of my khopesh's?

Yes on the 1st question. The more attacks per time period, the better chance of this going off. Each individual hit has a chance (somewhere between 1-5%--not sure of the actual number) of going off. If you hit a lot, you'll see more of these going off.

Your choice on the 2nd question. I can tell you that a lot of people have either minIIs or litIIs (or both)--they are both popular choices. So it wouldn't be crazy to go this way.

I have never created GS weapons before so this might sound ridiculous but here are my questions/concerns

I am asking this because it has taken me a while to get the ingredients and I dont want to mess it up.

Can you go Min II and Lit II?? one in main hand one in off hand?

Can you have both Min II and Lit II? So two Min II khopesh's and two Lit II khopesh's?

An individual weapon is either MinII or LitII. You can wield two of these at any given time (one in your primary hand, one in your off hand). They are terribly expensive to make--so very few people make 4 of them. If you want both--you'll probably make one of each and dual wield them. If you have the luxury of making 4 (2 of each), you will have the option to go minII/minII, litII/litII, minII/litII, or litII/minII with your dual wielding.

I highly recommend using a reliable crafting planner when you make these weapons. A good one can be found at:

Yes, you can use a Min 2 and a Lit 2 at the same time as a dual wielder provided you have made both. You can even have a pair of both if you are willing to craft four dual shard weapons... which will take a while. Especially if you have a low number of Shroud runners.

In general:

Main appeal of Min 2 is breaking raid devil damage reduction. Demons too, if you run ADQ a lot.

Main appeal of Lit 2 is more damage vs things that don't have DR or that only have DR/Good (which it breaks) or that have a low amount of DR/something it doesn't break. Like raid devils on normal. Lit 2s are actually better despite not breaking DR. On hard and elite this no longer applies!

So basically Lit 2 for trash and low difficulty bosses, Min 2 for the rest. Of course Min 2s are just fine against trash as well... just Lit 2s are better.

If you are a kensei, I would actually recommend T1 Acid, T2 pure good burst, and T3 CON +2.

Against devils, the acid damage doesn't do anything, and against demons, it does very little. Therefore, pure good burst is better than holy against such enemies (with you're insane crit power) and the 20 extra hp are much better than the acid blast affect (against devils, at least).
