Hi guys,
Is non eth 4 sox berserker axe useful for anything? Keep it or sell it to Akara?
this weapon dont exists. there are experts in this forum who can illustrate this fact more accurate than me.
What do you mean? Just found one so how come, that it doesn’t exist?
It is an illusion. A trick of the mind. Contact the guru of the forum, his highness Danutz and he will explain to you why this item doesn’t drop and why it is only a figment of your imagination.
P.S: Joke aside, you can keep it and maybe roll a Famine(to expensive for what it offers in my opinion) in it…don’t remember any other decent 4soc runeword for axes.
I would keep it if you have space…the longer time passes the more this obscure bases could find buyers.
I’m not sure if I caught your point, but as far as I’m concerned you mention an user, who claims, that he cannot loot berserker axe no matter what. Is that correct?
It’s kind of a joke, since there are a few users on this forum that claim drops are bugged without posting any proof.
To answer the OP, there are just a few uses for a non eth 4 socket berserker axe which imo aren’t really worth it. Creating a Famine would come to mind to use as a backup against physical immunes, but there are cheaper options.
I personally would get rid of the thing to save room for other stuff. My advice is to just check out a list of runewords and see for yourself.
To my mind Famine is far too expensive when we compare it’s benefits to the value of runes we will sacrifice. The situation is similar with Phoenix and Hand of Justice. Fortitude is a bit cheaper, but still there are much better uses for LO rune. Oath is a nice runeword, but it gives indestructibility to the weapon, so ethereal BA would be far better. The only 2 options I consider is either PASSION or KINGSLAYER. What do you guys think?
Passion is meh, not worth the trouble. You’d replace it sooner than later. Kingslayer has good stats but you’d have to repair it or put it in a phaseblade which beats the point of keeping the 4 sox BA. You’d replace it for Oath or Death anyways at some point.
I’d just get rid of the axe and hope you’ll find an eth one at some point.
Thanks for your opinions. I changed the topic title. What do you think about Matrialchal Bow? It has much lower damage than grand matron bow. However it is a bit faster. Is it worth using? And if so, what runeword would you reccommend?
Faith runeword is the best. If you’re going to use strafe you’d want to use a Grand Matron though. You only need 20 ias on your other gear to reach max attack speed which can easily be found on gloves/amulets.
For other skills you can consider Matriarchal I guess since you need way more ias to reach the last breakpoint on a Grand Matron (50 vs 100 ias needed with a low Fanaticism roll), but I don’t know if this is the better choice for dps in general.
Since Strafe is going to get buffed next patch I’d wait using any high runes in a Matriarchal bow for now.
