Trying to figure out the best around weapon to make. Is it basically like the old mineral axe? DR breaker for the weapon bonus effect and build for that? Or is there more of dps weapon like the lit 2 just building for whatever is less resistant to dmg like lightning or good.

Seems like the 1% chance would be more favorable then the stacks ticking in most content where you just mow it down outside of reaper where they'd pimpslap you anyway. I dont see any instant death bonus's or even improved paral so aside from the mineral just the 1% explosion dmg.

So whats the standard mostly for a damage weapon to overtake the thunderforged falchon? (2 handed)

Thunderforged and LGS weapons on melee and ranged are almost equal if dps is your goal.
On casters LGS weapons are better.

DPSwise for melee and ranged you need a LGS vacuum shock/negative/shock +Good Weapons (or negative/shock/negative, but worse against undead)
Thunderforged weapons are amazing DR breakers and all you need is a 1st Degree Burns/Dragon's Edge/Crippling Flames weapon.
Which one is better you ask? It all depends on the enemy monster. If the mob has a DR which ur LGS does not break then propably TF. If the mob is immune to fire/bleed dmg then propably ur LGS.

You can also craft an Affirmation LGS for survivability which is even better if you dual-wield. A lot of ranged builds like to proc their +1000 temp HP and then switch to vacuum for 1 minute.
Ranged builds (mechanics + monkchers) can also use LGS Ice which is broken for CC or LGS Salt for ice-immune mobs (secondary choice, ice is mostly better)

For Augments/Clickies your first priority is always good DR breaker.

My main toon has 2 LGS khopeshes, TF khopeshes, LGS Falchion + TF Falchion and LGS Maul + TF Maul and it's definetly worth it. It gives you a lot of flexibility to switch on different encounters
