To reiterate: a min 2 is obsolete.
A lit 2 THF will not out-DPS a min 2 THF on normal. You lose DR on your main and glancing strikes, but you only get 100% magical process rate on your main strike. Your glancing strike rate for magical processes is probably around 15%, which is nowhere near enough to balance out the DR loss. That said, a min 2 is still not worth making, but it's worth knowing.A greensteel greataxe has too much of a base damage advantage for a greensteel falchion to catch it up when pitted against high fortification. As this topic has demonstrated, however, there's no reason to use a greensteel weapon against a boss, so falchions are the name of the game for high-damage characters such as barbarians.Originally Posted by division
