Weapon for Frostadin?

Would an upgraded Atlantean make a good weapon for a Frostadin, or would it be cheaper just to get Heaven's Light?

I agree with Macu.

Get a good black flail/knout and use it until you can get your hands on a heavens light (preferably a 3/2.) :thumbsup:

what about Schaefer's Hammer? I got one recently... and although it's not the fastest weapon in the world... it's got 50 to life, 75% lightning resist!!!, decent AR bonus... and most interesting... Static Field 20% of the time. Looks like with a shael and Static Field going off... it could beat things down pretty quickly? Only drawback I see... Required Strength: 189 ... but with IK gloves and Guillemes helm and HoZ (55 added str total from those), this is still doable

There are more downsides on that weapon that upsides, IMHO...

Considering it's decent mods, the strength requirement, as you pointed out, is rather hefty for a frost zealot... and its just ridiculously slow, as you also pointed out. It'd take more than a shael to get that thing at a fast speed...

I found the "knockback" very annoying :grrr: (used another weapon than "Black", can't remember...), so my Frostadin is parked at the moment in his late 20s.

Will it become less annoying, when using a weapon with larger range?
Or is there another hidden secret? :scratch:

crecent moon phase blade is fun. loose some of the crushing blow if you're going that route, but the static and ITD make up for it in my opinion. its also hella fast with a modest bit of ias in other places.

Out of the following, could any of these be considered end game weapons:
Lightsaber
Baranars Star <---currently using
Atlantean
Demons Limb
Schaefer's
.... I like the speed on the lightsaber... it's insane... but the baranars star does more damage for me and adds to my AR HUGE! The Atlantean seems OK, but from what i've used, the Baranars Star seems to be the best.... I haven't got a Demons Limb... so I can't say what that's like yet.... but it seems like it may be a good choice.. no?

It's just for leveling up until you get a better weapon. The CB it provides is just downright awesome. Knockback or not, they're cold, slow, and all over the place... I'd just deal with the knockback until you can get a better weapon, such as astreon's or heavens light.

That's what I did, and it was fine. A "Black" flail (which is what I'd choose simply for the insane base speed) is just an efficient, cheap solution for an elite scepter, such as astreons and heavens light stated before.

However, there are many other weapons you could use if you don't plan to take the CB route at all, or even that early. Several of them were listed already, so I won't list my time listing additional ones. :thumbsup:

The mods you need on a frostie weapon in order of importance imo is:

speed
+skills
-cold res
+cold skill
sockets
enhanced damage/crushing blow (depending upon pvp or pvm)
