Hi peeps,

My pure uberkicker needs a weapon but i dont know which!?

Skills:
20 dragon tail
20 venom
20 cloak of shadows
20 bladeshield (unless dual claw then in the block)
all pre-required and the 1 skill wonders fade + BoS
Rest goes in the shadow master for tank :)

NO TRAP HYBRID!

the first question is, is it possible to make it work with dual-claw (I like the looks on the assa way better with 2 claws) If so, what weapons should i look for?

Properties that do work with kicks:
Crushing Blow, Open Wounds, Slow Target
Magic, Elemental, and Poison Damage (not displayed on the character screen)
Life/Mana steal and Life/Mana after kills
%Chance to Cast on Attack/Strike
+% Damage (except from weapon)
+AR (except on your weapon)
+% AR (from anywhere)
Blind, Freeze, Prevent Monster Heal
Magic Find and Gold find

Properties that do NOT work with kicks:
Deadly/Critical Strike
Enhanced Damage from equipment (if it works it doesn't display on character screen)
+% Damage to Demons/Undead
+ Min / Max damage (so no 3/20/20 charms for kickers)
Claw Mastery bonuses (Boots are not Claws!)
Melee mods such as Increased Attack Speed (IAS), Crushing Blow, Open Wounds, prevent monster heal, life leech, etc. are not applied from the secondary claw (in a Dual-Claw setup).

Otherwise, i narrowed it down to a few weapons i read in different quides:
- Stormlash = 1-473 light dmg // 33 CB // 20% lvl 18 tornado // 15% lvl 10 static field // 3-9 light absorb
- Azurewrath = 250-500 magic dmg // 250-500 cold dmg // 5-10 atributes // 10-13 sanctuary aura // 1 skill
- Grief = 340-400 dmg // -psn dmg // xxx% dmg to demons // Does venom overide my own?
- Last Wish = lvl 17 might // 10% life tap // ignores defense // 60-70 CB

The question is, which of those weapons and why? If you have anny other weapon.. dont hessitate to tell me!

Thanks for the information people :D

the same reason smiters rock lastwish is the same reason you would, the massive crushing blow, with cb gloves and boots your helm would be free to be whatever you chose, without last wish your helm would probably be gface, and it's stats are only sexy for damage. i'd prefer a better helm than gface for ubers

Smiters rock :ast Wish because they have no clue what they're doing. HAMMERDINS use LWPB because it allows them to switch to 1-pt smite and do ubers. Kicksins use it because it's the best weapon in the game for an uber-kicker.

Both true, last wish is the weapon i tried before but the last 10% of an uber is way harder with only CB and no real damage. I gues that is the reason why people say azurewrath cause of the 500-1k elemental damage thats added to each kick.

That is the cheap option but doesnt come close to the damage output that is needed ;)

doesnt the fanatism aura add a little dmg / ias?

And if the grief's damage doesnt work it is useless indeed!
