	Just wondering with the awesome updates from Turrdbine now, what is the best weapon to make, LGS looks pretty average. TF still looks a lot better to me, even though MF has be restructured to suit game play and balance throughout the community (Fukin Nerfed!!!!) Thanks

	3 months ago mortal fear was a shoe-in....now I'm less sure of what is "best" Current life I am dual wielding khopesh/ scimitars and have been starting to go back to a bit of a golf bag of combos. Tier 3 TF + bleeding edge sometimes leopards chill. Have yet to try out a tiered up TOEE weapon in the mix... I suspect that eventually LGS will be needed to break abishai Dr... Got a pair of crafed ooze beaters for that irritating as fuck New quest, but they are a bit rubbish.

	I'm kind of curious about this as well. I know that Khopeshes were considered the best for awhile, though I have no idea what the case is now. Given the power of swashbuckler/vanguard SWF or Sword/Shield builds, I would think that Bastard Swords and Dwarven Axes would be quite good right now because of glancing blows.

	Repeater or a shuri.

	Dear players, The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means. Love, People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

Thanks http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Rusty_Great_Axe Youdo not have to farm for it too much, and its pretty much the same as an eSoS now.

But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics. Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

	obviously what weapon you choose is dependent on build, but khopeshes are still just as strong as they were before u29 and for the same reasons. in fact for twf barbs, khopeshes are now better than warhammers. so far the lgs weapon effects are extremely lack luster. the t3 hidden effects will have to be truly amazing for lgs to ever be better than tf. mortal fear may not proc in legendary, but crippling flames and burning emptiness still both do and are very strong effects. on my thf barb i have been using esos again for no fort no dr legendary enemies. not sure if its mathematically better than an on crit falc, but the bigger crits are fun. also, melee is more than doable in le, but it is not for casuals.

	I think the OP is talking about what kind of crafting system and what craft on it instead of item type, otherwise he wouldn't mention mortal fear and it's changes. So, answering that, I belive LGS is the best for all mlee and those who can have an offhand should use LGS + ToEE set. I'm just not sure what are the best upgrades for the LGS.

I'd rather wait to see the whole picture before deciding that an LGS in the off hand isn't a better choice. Assuming you can easily slot a +14 elsewhere, would an offhand that does 10d6 good (or elemental damage) per hit plus an additional +9 to core stat (a +4 or +5 damage boost) be better than +20 MP and and some On Crit effects for around 20-120 damage (On a x3 multiplier weapon)? And that's assuming no bonus effect on the GS. What about in comparison to a TF weapon? Doing 8-64 force damage per hit and 35% armor piercing and 33-105 bleed damage plust some fire damage or negative damage or vulnerable? (And that doesn't count mortal fear proccing in non legendary content). The ToEE blade, the TF Mortal Fear blade, and a GS blade with stats in tier 2 and 3 all make an interesting case for the off hand in TWF builds. Especially on Tempest builds where you have 100% off hand attacks, 25% more offhand doublestrike, and full damage on the off-hand vs. half damage. On that build, an off hand that is primarily there to boost the main hand damage is less valuable.

	I can't say if they are the best weapons overall but Bleeding Edges and Riftmaker are best in terms of the DPS/Grind ratio. You just need couple of buddies for easy EE runs and you don't even need a whole evenig to get them.
