Third? I can guess first. Curious about second. I'm thinking maybe lich gear.

Defiance, ST sword, Humansunder, Zurcon, Vengeance, Icingdeath, Twinkle, Armageddon, Illusions, Doom. Might be a few better one's in the Inferno other than Vengeance, but I've never seen them. :)

I actually like Zurcon better then humansunder and Spirit Breaker better then Armageddon. Don't forget Amathylar either...

Actually...every single hit it does more damage, not just when you see the echo.

It's just as powerful as it was...you could argue more powerful. The only difference...you actually have to hit someone with it.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

The actual damage on humans is upped above the average of the sword itself on non-humans. I'll have to a check a few logs to see for sure. But I liked hitting the unblockable ANNIHILATES on the older prog. *sigh*
