Your Best Weapon So far!

[FutileEmotion]

So you've had the game for a few hours. What weapon have you found? What have you socketted it with? What awesome enchantments does it have?

For my level 17, I found the "Ice Dragonne", a unique rifle. I thought it was pretty sweet, as my old online alias was IceDragon:

238 DPS
2 Handed
9 armor Degraded per hit
Increases All ice damage by 35% (Not that I'm doing much ice damage right now)
+10% Pet and Minion damage
+19 ice damage
+12 ice damage
+9 electric damage

-----
EDIT:
I took a 10k gamble and enchanted it, and got two extra enchantments:

+19 Ice damage
+9 electric damage

I then added a cold ember, to give it an extra +12 cold damage
-----

It has an open socket, but I haven't found any cool gems yet. I also not sure if I want to spend the ridiculous amount of gold it will take to maaaybe give it an enchantment.

I'm doing 281-561 damage with it, nevermind critical hits (I maxed critical strikes). I've seen her hit for 990ish. Not that fast, but so far, one hit KOs most of the time.


What about you?

[Shnakeh]

I'd say this. It turned my Hard file into Very Easy.

[FutileEmotion]

98!? Thats a bit ridiculous, especially with that attack speed! To shame, hacker.

I found a unique rifle with around 230 dam, probably same as yours

[FutileEmotion]

So I've kept playing, and hit level 21. I found an arbalest (crossbow) that had a faster attack speed, so the DPS was 400ish. And then I fooled around with enchant.

Enchant is your friend. So far, no negatives at all, except occasionally wasted gold. There seems to be *no limit* on the number of times you can enchant the same item. Sometimes, it will improve the existing enchantments. Sometimes it will add new enchantments. And sometimes it will add sockets.

The key is that enchant only goes up in price when the number of enchantments is increased. So added sockets and improved enchantments don't increase the cost of future enchantments. This means that while the enchant cost is still 3k, you can get some killer stats.

And so, I ended up with this:



Note the two empty sockets. On a normal attack, I do 600-700ish, but on a critical hit, it can jump as high as 2,300. Add in an AOE attack that uses my ranged weapon, and so far no challenge.

Is the best i've found so far. I'll need to try the enchant trick with it to see how high I can get the dps and if I can get some lifesteal.

[DresdenDoll]

My lv 11 is using a rifle with 15 life steal per hit, poison + cold damage, and knockback.
It's a rare... around 150dps.

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING

Some people have reported that there is a small but PRESENT chance that your magical item will lose ALL of its enchantments in favor of new ones. For this reason, I suggest either NOT enchanting ad infinitum, or at least do not do so with your main weapon.

Holy shit :[ The 500 dps weapon is insane. I only found crappy weapons so far. Lol with this I would be running through the levels ^^.

[Tid]

God i love smashing stuff in the face with this.

Holy shit,

I don't got a pic of my best weapon but it had 333 DPS.

how do i insert img? ive edited it in paint but dunno how to upload to this message :,(

[mao]

thats mine so far -_-

[ewoksy]

lost quiet a few earlier though :<

I'm now wondering wether i should put this through the retirement and start again, anyone have an insight just as how good a bonus it is?

[viking]

[Anoiktos]

Ricochet crit for over 4k, 21% of the time, at level 18 with that thing. Crazy. Except for the part where I have no defenses and my tiny 45-89 damage reduction doesn't really do much against Very Hard charging lizardmen.

Kill or be killed. Very, very messily.

[Nihilnovi]

My only problem is the screen is shaking ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Got over 45% crit, it's just unplayable so I usually use a lower DPS weapon(1500ish) to even be able to play the game.

Whichever mastermind dev thought about having the screen SHAKE on crits should get fired, you shouldn't punish people for getting good items. You can't possibly stand more than 5 minutes playing with this gun.

If anyone wants it I can upload my shared stash file, see for yourselves.

irt the guy above me: i had this gun at over 600 dps at lvl 10, just spend all your gold(literally) on enchanting the weapon. I don't even use hp or mana pots, sell those for gold too :p I am still only lvl 17, everything including orange mobs gets 1 shot at very hard hardcore^^

Confirmed.

I don't know if this would remove the base bonuses from a unique item like Ice Dragonne, but it happened to a "blue" (rare) bow that I was using. It should be noted, however, that the 2 gem slots I had filled on that bow were not removed. I was able to enchant the bow all over again and get it back up to "uber" status too, so no harm done, really.

[viking]

dude, how? just how the hell 3k dmg per second ? tell me how, the enchanter in town ?

[CSilver]

Best weapon so far that is vanquisher related is

Unique Pistol
General Orrin's Sidearm
attk 285 dps
fastest

enchanting Unique is so damn expensive... I haven't been able to enchant any unique except the rares...

I do wonder how you managed to get that weapon to 3k... dps
