Blade skills get a mixture of bonuses from claw mastery based on which blade skill you are using. There is a chart out there that shows exactly which blade skill gets what bonuses from claw mastery.

That’s why you are seeing your cestus perform better than that other weapon even tho the other weapon has slightly higher damage.

There isn’t an exact science to this but if you get a non claw weapon that has significantly more weapon damage then a claw, you would be better off using the other weapon, not claw.

But skills are very important for blade skills. Making using a spirit sword likely better than anything else for low levels


I'll try and find that chart, thanks! Yeah I just noticed the AR bonus applies to Blade Fury too.

Curious about +skills, the damage increase from each skill point doesn't seem huge. But I will take that, thanks again :D

These would have been sick for a light trapper! :o


Crazy early Ko drop! :o :o Could be useful for Hustle! Stashed for now to see what bases can drop. Pretty sure you can make it in a claw!


The blade traps crushed Maggot Lair!

Ooh! Now this could be useful... need to cube it of course...


And not long after, the second GG druid drop! But this one is actually useful!


3os too! :blink: The damage is higher but the AR is lower. I put a couple Eth runes in for the -monster defense, might have been overkill tbh with Inner Sight and CoS

Drops on this run have actually been insane. Her damage has doubled, and the +skills on the bow buff her abilities! Even better!

Blood wing... I honestly don't remember ever seeing of these before!


I crafted this blood belt but then remembered it's only 3 potion rows :wallbash: Still, quite nice!


Trav was a bit sketchy ngl. Stone skin really slows us down and there two vamp packs with it!

I had a bad experience with the nightmare "fire explosion death" bug with a hardcore character before... I don't know if they fixed it in D2R but I'm not risking it :P


We got through and wowwww worst Meph map ever, you can't even see the distance from the WP :lol:


Durance 3 and game be trolling, two more stone skin packs, and the council next door were might aura... this took some kiting! Also just noticed Gaile shooting the pillar :rofl:

Decided to press on rather than farm Meph, we're clearing super fast and it feels very safe!


Would love a Lem from the forge, Treachery plz! That might aura was nasty with all the hordes


Errrrr okay?! I mean I'll take it!



That's where I'm up to! That Um rune changes things... way I see it we got two options:

1) Duress armour + farm Bartuc's from Meph

2) Crescent Moon weapon and farm a Lem from somewhere for Treachery

What do you reckon?!
