playing through with double swing at the moment on P8. damage has dropped off a lot after using steel/malice flails up through A4 and then switching to steel/malice cleavers

is there a better weapon combo that people generally use during WTs in normal? i really want to get to NM andy to farm 2x butchers. also, can you shop +2/+3 warcry weapons from malah in A5 normal?

maybe dmg is fine and i'm just impatient. this might be my first time actually playing through the game :rolleyes:

current stuffs:



amulet: 3% ML
ring: cathan's
ring: +100 AR ring

mercenary:

helm: ral/ort
stealth
savage polearm

edit:



skills:

2 double swing (1 mana cost)
1 natural resist
1 increased speed
1 increased stamina
20 axe mastery
1 shout
1 howl
1 BC
1 bash
1 iron skin
13 BO

For me, I wouldn’t have put so many points into axe mastery yet. More points into double swing/frenzy. Damage is a little slow on melee champs early on in p8. My guess is you just need to be a little more patient :)

/e and get to nm Andy and farm butchers

what im doing is using 1 dimensional blade with 5ctc amp and i wsm bug that together with a black war hammer. also merc used 5ctc amp wep. that gives me a decent dmg. i also farmed death gloves and belt before nm, it felt like a waste of time but was really worth it.

i took it stright into act 3 nm, but then decided it was boringly slow to finish the waste land of dirty jungles ahead and started to mf andy xD my wish list now is:
black battle hammer + better dimensional sword xD unless i can farm clearers or heafstriker xD

i thought the mana cost of frenzy increased for every point placed. i just respec'd and progression is already much quicker :D i miss the IAS BP of double swing doe

do this:
treehead woodfist - rikaniska - mr tristam himself - cow king
and it should drop rather fast :)

usually i have found both in like 3-5 runs on cow king, but been lucky.

last time i did like 250 runs on threehead woodfist without finding.
then i came back later and did 10 of the runs mentioned above and both parts dropped(on woodfist and mr. tristam)
