Loot gen Khopeshes for str tempest ranger?

Are any of the loot gen Khopeshes worth using?  And which of the named ones are particularly good, not including LGS.  I am currently using heroic Min2s mostly, just hit 20.

If someone spoon feeds you this info that is readily available on the wiki in a list sortable by ML, damage stats, etc., you should do the polite thing and donate $10 to their Paypal account.

Nothing lootgen is going to beat even heroic greensteel until the mid-20s, by which time you should be Thunderforge-GO!ing that shit up. I've never used a lootgen khopesh except when I needed something highly specific, like a construct-beater.

That said, you will find a bit more versatility with a Min2/Lit2 in the main hand an a tripple-pos in the off. I used GS until 18, then  Elemental Khopeshes of Water with Holy crafted on them(the slow effects were niiiiice) until 24, then those simple lvl 24 TF khopeshes did fine all the way to 30. Who knew?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

thanks!  it seemed that way.. I just wasn't sure if I was somehow missing the new WoP loot gen weapon.  The main problem with ToEE and TF stuff is just getting the runs in to obtain enough of the BTA mats...  just gotta keep my eye on the lfms... (*edit_) ahhh.. elemental Khopesh of water is a canith challenge item.. awesome and easy to get!

Digi,  Wiki?  what wiki?  there's a wiki?

Yeah I wouldn't bother with TOEE stuff(ML 28, bleh) or even the BtC mats for the TF(again: ML 28 = disappointed grown). You can buy all the mats to make TF up to lvl 26 (or check and see if a friend has some that fell off a trick), and, like I said, the ML24 will do a damn good job until you get up there. I just finished a dual khopesh build and even at lvl 28 I wasn't disappointed enough to replace them.

The challenge khopeshes are, i think, heavily under-rated. As it happened I was playing a pretty squishy build (Sun Elf with 11 Cleric levels), so no Displacement and not a ton of PRR. Even after I hit 24 I was occasionally busting out the elementals for the Paralizing and Slow-burst effects. Unfortunately you can no longer craft the item I have, throwing Holy on there was a really nice touch to add an extra 2d6 damage.

Not disagreeing, legitimate question: what makes Drow Khopesh of the Weapon Master so favorable? I plan on doing a few more khopesh lives and want to know what makes it better than, say, my heroic greensteels.

At 20, stick with the GS Khopeshes.  Unless you have an Epic Chaosblade.

At 21, go with two Drow Khopeshes of the Weapon Master

At 22, switch to TF base khopeshes. (they are unbound)

At 24, use Tier 1 TF khopeshes. (Still unbound)

At 26, use Tier 2 TF khopeshes if you have them.  (they are bound now, so you had to craft them prior or run TF to get to the forge).  Alternately, use ToEE Khopesh.  Or LGS Khopesh.

Any of these will be superior to ran gen in epics.  The TF weapons are metalline by default with an augment slot, so you don't even need anything else for DR breaking.

The challenge khopeshes are awesome in heroic. The epic version is lackluster for EE since the paralyzing and slowburst do not upgrade to the improved version with better DCs.

Yeah I made a couple lvl20 tier 1s... the Colossal Crystal challenge was a bit annoying to solo.  They do pretty well actually.  I've been watching the AH SE for drow khopeshes only saw one (maiming) on the SE, probably should have bought it... I am not sure farming for them is worth the time... I think I have the mats for TF Khopeshes.

If you need the ingots, fire scales or shadow scales, I'll shoot you some unbound mats.  I have plenty.

Farming for them is definitely not worth the time. I would not own a single piece of Cannith challenge gear if it weren't for that carefully-placed speedbump right outside the manufactury... shit is ALWAYS falling off the back of their trucks!

Not a khopesh, but definitely a solid weapon. I used it off-hand with a khopesh mainhand for several levels last life.

Only problem is its a pretty serious time investment to get one.

Bellazars?

This is not a weapon I am familiar with, and a search of the wiki yields nothing.

Bellend is also a potent weapon, but MoBo specific and awkward to wield.
