Best 1handed ooze beater at cap?

How does your non 2handed melee handle rusties and oozes?

The echo of the sunsword from strahd raid is crystal I believe, if you don't mind not bludgeoning them.

Tired of needing to repair a set of throwaway named weapon every couple ooze encounters in ee or reaper content while I try to get enough schism shards to make some soulrazors.

There simply aren't any nice ooze beaters. The ones that are designed for ooze killing are either 2H or Heavy, which crosses them off the list of nice right there (can't use on swashbuckler). Or, they're not sentient-capable (too low) or too high to offer much utility (broccoli only lasts 5 levels and it's not light).

I usually just use a low level cannith everbright and swear at the serious lack of creativity that thinks oozes and rust monsters are a great way to spice up a quest.

Should every melee just break down and use a blackrazor regardless and of fighting style whenever they see a pack of oozes?

In lower level content you can just pull out a ranged weapon but once you get epic defensive fighting and mob hp gets super bloated that is no longer an option. One or two packs and your current weapon usually breaks.

Craft an everbright blunt weapon. Easy peasy.

That raises the question of whether you do or don't want to split them.

Splitting them seems to make them significantly weaker but if you do too many at once it can also really ramp up DA. Your damage output may also be a lot better if you're using a piercing or slashing weapon than a blunt one.

Thanks.

Now that event is currently active, I would recommend the new-this-year brussel sprouts. Almost identical to broccoli, it is only d4, but is a light hammer, which has more synergy options than the club version.

I tend to use my Affirmation beater; sometimes you get a stack of Reapers spawning in, and it's pretty nice to have an extra buffer. Helps that mine's a maul, but YMMV about splitting.
