I am thinking about switching from fire warlock to ES. So many different options for weapons. I heard there is an eth weapon bug fix coming or did already. So that could change BIS options or base options. Thoughts?

just be "cheap" and use ondals. +skills add almost as much as weapon dmg, and +skills and %exp give a lot of bonuses. its not BiS, but might make for a better play style.

ariocs +4, dont need the eth realy, as stated above, +skills is the key, anything else is just comfort/qol/preference

Yeah, I'm already using ondals for my fire warlock, because its +4 and still cheaper exp than an anni at the time. It's probably best choice until I get to my goal level. I'm 87 now...thanks for the advice, I will reevaluate after that time, haha.

ya 100% go ondals then. all u need is a respec lol.

anything with fcr on it

botd, death, ariocs etc don't offer anything that you don't lose out on from having to stack fcr on other gear pieces

eth insight staves

Yeah, I could use resists too, someone suggested fortitude weapon
