Well, I finally managed to put this thing together last night. Only today did I finally get around to swinging it at something.

It was... underwhelming. Two-striker, slightly faster than the Khorovod. Damage isn't even in the same league, though. Charge attack is worthless.

Anyone else having greater success with this thing? It's not max level, so maybe I just need to stick with it?

Or (more likely) should I have simply held out for the Faust?

Either way, after collecting an extremely rare item and going through the bother of leveling it to completion, not to mention spending the top-tier energy crafting costs, I have to say I'm disappointed. Hope this thing sees some scaling up in the future.

Faust would have been way better because of shadow damage except for the charge up side effect.

I think Avenger has bonus to undead right? Or was it fiend. Well, I'd say get it to level 10 before you give up on it. If I remember right gremlins are weak to elemental damage and avenger does normal and elemental damage.

All weapons that have pre-made ultra modify dmg bonus again XXX are mid-core or below average..... won't be surprised if avenger follow suit.

It's now level nine and still absolutely embarrassing to hit monsters with; even devilites who take the extra damage from the built-in ultra bonus.

I get the feeling that this weapon wasn't subject to the equipment rebalancing.

@Talbain Nope, it's been down

@Talbain

Nope, it's been down graded like everything else and it's below average because it has a ultra dmg boost.

Don't think they did much work or tested those dmg boost functions.

Dual damage weapons like the Avenger are still undergoing some testing to get it just right. Have no fear, we're on it!

@nick By dual dmg do you mean

@nick

By dual dmg do you mean weapons that have two different offensive property or weapons that have build in dmg boost?

He means weapons that do two

He means weapons that do two types of damage simultaneously. The Avenger, for instance, deals both Normal and Elemental damage with each successful hit.

Just making sure. In a related note, night blade seems a bit more powerful than avenger right now.

Probably that it does both

Probably that it does both normal and elemental (or some other) at the same time.
There's a couple of weapons like that.

EDIT: Sniped, naturally. :-)

If you guys need a Trojan Horeshoe to make a Faust, I've got one my character wasting away doing nothing.

It's no good to me because I can't play, so if anyone has a sealed sword and wants to turn it into a Faust, hit me up here.

I'm definitely looking for a horseshoe, but I think Cactuscat would be the better suited guy for it since he hasn't upgraded his Sealed Sword yet.

I'd love it Shoebox!

Shoebox, I'm currently looking for a Trojan Horseshoe now, as it is the last thing I need to create the Faust! If you'd sell it to me, I'd love to buy it. Thanks!

@Talbain: Sorry if I'm hijacking it :x

It might be a bit hard to get online at the same time as everyone else because of my timezone, but I'll add you guys in-game.

I'm in Emberlight Arcade right now, so if you need me to go back to Haven or wherever, just say so now.
