[RistoffDervish]

Oh, duh. Try fire/air/air or air/air/air. All the neat kids are doing it.

I have a pair of smiting scimitars which are meh for constructs. I can post screenshots if needed let me know!

Greatly appreciated thanks in advance everyone! Cheers! :P! ! !

Heya go,

I haven't played with Alchemical in a while, I will look some stuff up later and hit you up in DDOChat. I may not have much to contribute, but I will do my best.

[Tobril]

Oh, duh. Try fire/air/air or air/air/air. All the neat kids are doing it.

Actually the conventional idiom for a non-wrap
melee trash weapon is earth/air.

The reason for this is the double chance at a proc
that will make the monster helpless and take 50%
more damage. The air is for the doublestrike with
the lightning strike proc being a nice bonus.

I would stop at tier 2 as the burst tends to cause
issues when using a bard for CC.
