Weapon choices for a DualDream Sorc~
As the titles says, I'm planning on whipping up a DualDream sorc to play around with. I've never really made a proper one - I've had Dreams thrown onto my light sorc for a bit of fun, but never actually created a character out of it, so I thought it was time to make one properly.
I've got most of the build/idea laid out and planned, but the one thing I am having a slight problem is, is the weapon choice, and in particular, dealing with lightning immunes.
Now, I know a lot of people will simply say "get an Infintiy merc" which is reasonable. I do have Infinity, but it is planted on my Pure Light MF Sorc who puts it to good use. So, what I'm after is options without using Infinity.
Here's what I've come up with so far, any suggestions or feedback would be great.
Beast in a Warspike or Caduceus
I chose these because of their base -10 speed, and decent average damage. Caddy has 70 durability which is nice to have on a weapon that isn't indestructible. It also spawns 5 max sockets, so making it will be easier/cheaper. Beast has an innate 40% IAS which makes it even faster. If I turn into the Bear I won't reach that 5FPA/95 IAS breakpoint, but I should come close.
Breath of the Dying in an Ethereal Berserker Axe.
Most popular choice I believe. Huge damage and with the 60% IAS from Botd, makes it generally fast. Also comes with those lovely mods.
Call to Arms in an Elite Scourge, Caduceus or Warspike
Keeping with the -10 WSM theme, I've come up with these choices. CTA also comes with the 40% IAS mod, so it should help bring down the FPA. Decent mods, and added +BO is always nice.
Grief Phase Blade
Fast. Powerful. ITD. What's not to like?
Other/More Expensive options
Doom
Famine
Hand of Justice
Kingslayer
Death
Destruction
Oath
As you can see, I'm trying to figure out the fastest + most powerful melee weapon available to deal with Lightning Immunes. I'm sure each of these can be used well, but I'm hoping others out there have better opinions on them, and which would be better with the build. At the moment I'm leaning towards Beast or CTA because they have more than 1 use, but I am open to other options too.
Thanks for any help!
