two RAD IIs a waste?

[Maxallu]

Is having two RAD IIs a waste? or do people make the second kopesh as a boss beater?

I found that I already have 2 Metalline Khopeshes of pure good already and I was thinking of just using those as boss beaters. Or should I only make one RAD II and then either a MIN II/LIT II?

If I could chop up my guild mate, take her arm, sew it on Star, and use a 3rd Rad2 rapier, I would. More Rad2s are never a waste.

If you are using khopeshes for your rad2s, then you should get a second rad2 even more as your blindness rate will already be lower than normal.

That is what I suspected already. Now I can start crafting two of them without worrying about wasting larges. Thanks for the fast response.

Best.
Post.
Evah.

Also, I like dual rads.

However, it's hard to argue with taking a Lit II, tho, for off-hand/main-hand GP use...if you solo a lot, or lead the pack often, dual rads are damage + defense, but if you generally hang back a bit, a Lit II might be better to build before your 2nd Rad II.

But where would you put it?

If my posts come off to people as a bit of arrogance and "I'm better then you" then I apologize that's not the objective and I should have been a bit more clear.

Radiance II's on a rogue are worth it to YOU if you find yourself solo'ing and TR'ing frequently. There is no question about it at that point those are superior weapons.

However when you're running epics and raids they just become obsolete to most other greensteel weapons. And for myself and many other players that's the part of the game we enjoy and play.

So to the OP it's really all determined on what you find yourself eventually wanting to run. If you like the quest scene, the TR leveling grind then absolutely make your radiance II's first. If you're more interested in being more beneficial in end game content make something along the lines of Mineral II's/Lightning II's and what not.

+1 for saying it how you should have to begin with, mr. naughty drama starter.

I apreciate the directness and the attempt at amends. Now I will attempt to be even more clear so that I get the opinions from people regarding my original point.

I am going to TR my toon into a rogue next life and I have decided to make a RAD II weapon. My question is, one or two? Not Rad or Lit/Min.

Yes, i understand fully what is needed in endgame, that is no stranger to me.

And I shouldn't have flipped out at you in a couple (well, probably more than a couple) places. That didn't help matters any; sorry about that.

Thanks for the clarification.

on a twink rogue, i use 2 rad II scimis which i then switch to 2 rad II khopeshes. Even if you arent proficient with the scimis, their purpose is really just to get one crit (which often happens in one swing).

oftentimes, mobs die too fast for that, so i use a rad II khopesh+ a lit II khopesh (which is what id recommend especially considering you already have BBs)

[Calebro]

Main hand: Lit2
Off hand: Rad2
HP item or DT: Rad guard

I find this to be more than sufficient.

I wish I could craft rad2 Handwraps

On an unarmed striker-
HP item or DT: Rad guard
A few AP: Unbalancing Strike.

Your DC may not be great, but it's better than nothing.

Dukkha is going to be a rogue monk soon (unarmed assassin 3).

Could you imagine that with rad2 wraps?

I do have an HP/rad guard gs though.

My rogue's AC is her dual rad rapiers. I made them one at a time as the larges became available and there was a noticeable difference after having the second one made, which was a bit surprising. She uses them for everything except boss fights, where I just swap out to my MoPG generic stuff. One day I'll probably make some real boss beaters, but for now this combo works really well and I'm glad I went that route.

The first radiance II is a waste let alone the second... /sigh with the people in love with radiance...
