since your still monitoring this post, i have a weapon i'd like to mention. i wanted to give it a try for my smiter but a zealer could use it too. and that is the winged throwing axe. it has no durability, it is very fast, it has a 33% chance to cast level 3 AD, open wounds, prevent heal, but also has flee(sucks). it can't be upgraded but the amp dam is always getting cast which helps alot. i even see it on the mobs that get (fleed?) they run away with AD on them. and i've played this game since it came out and i have to say that this is one of the fastest weapons i've seen. i'm only mentioning this weapon cause of how cheap it is and you also mentioned some cheaper weapons at the end of your post.
