Green Steel Weapons , DR breaker and Insight AC bonus

[gralha]

Good afternoon,

I'm thinking about my exploiter ranger green steel itens. I would like to know if I can only have AC insight bonus on weapons. If it is true, i would like to know if a mineral II with insight will be a DR breaker. Something like that:

+5 Greensteel Khopesh (1d10, 19-20/x3) With +1 AC (Insight) , +2 AC (Insight) - Stoneskin (2/day), +4 AC (Insight) - Transmuting, Keen/Impact, Slicing (+1d4 Bleed damage), +8 hardness, +80 durability

No, this would not break DR.

On the first tier, It is not the positive that bypasses the DR, it is the Holy effect which makes the weapon good aligned, or so I have been told.

Hope this helps.

You need to have the first tier as holy. Also, insight bonuses don't stack, so most people choose acid burst for their second tier. Thus you have metalline and good damage, which breaks most DR.

So this one will be a DR braker and give AC bonus:

+5 Greensteel Khopesh (1d10, 19-20/x3) With Holy, +2d6 vs. Evil, Acid Burst, +1d6 acid, +1d10/2d10/3d10 on crit - Stoneskin (2/day), +4 AC (Insight) - Transmuting, Keen/Impact, Slicing (+1d4 Bleed damage), +8 hardness, +80 durability

Right?

The three tiers of Insight AC don't stack. Just take the final tier for +4.

Then on tiers I and II you can take either Holy/Acid Burst (recommended) or Acid/Good Burst. The good damage + Metalline (Transmuting no longer exists in DDO) from being a Mineral II will bypass most DR in the game.

You can also craft +2 Insight AC onto a ring from Tower of Despair, and there are a few epic items/item sets that provide +4 Insight AC. For a Mineral II, adding +4 Insight at tier III is a good option as the Acid damage won't work on most of the stuff you need to worry about bypassing DR on. If you also craft a Lightning II, then you should be looking at some loot lists to figure out what you may end up going after, as the Shocking Blast damage will work on a lot of creatures, so it is a real trade-off, though not a huge deal.
