And versus enemies with very high pierce/slash resistance like say Dorudugan, or any of the dragons, a regular sabre user is going to struggle to do much damage unless they crit most hits (crit gives a +50% penenetration). Since it does raw it is never resisted by anyone nor is anyone immune. But one can make a beeline for the Blaster and the fight where you cn loot it from also isn't difficult because it's just one mid-level wizard you have to take out (and you can start the fight from stealth).Īnimancer's Energy Blade is top tier against certain enemies. Animancer's Blade comes pretty late so I wouldn't plan a whole character build around it. But something like Eccea's Arcane Blaster is indeed great against that sort of enemies. Or you can use a Druid with Swarm of Insects + Infestation of Maggots and stuff like that. If you combine all three of those on a Steelclad construct for example it will die very quickly. Like the Rogue's Arterial Strike, Gouging Strike and Ring the Bell. Instead of or in addition to using those weapons you can also use abiities that deal raw damage. So I'd say just spare that ability point and take something else. Deep Wounds doesn't recognize raw damage so would be completely wasted if you mainly used on one of those weapons. Both weapons don't deal that type of damage but raw damage. Watch out - if you use a Rogue then know that there's a problem with Deep Wounds: it requires a weapon with pierce, slash or crush damage to get triggered. I used it with good success on several characters, among them a single class Kind Wayfarer (together with Scrodeo's Trophy), a Wizard/Ranger (also together with Scordeo's Trophy), a Beguiler/Sharpshooter (single handed with the modal and One handed style), SC Priest (Xoti, more than once) and more (I cannot remember all of them). Animancer's Blade has lower base damage than a regular sabre but is faster so the overall dps is comparable to a normal sabre - but the lack of further enchantments make it an inferior pick against enemies with normal to low armor - I mean compared to other unique sabres.Įccea's Arcane Blaster is a great pistol for any pistolero build because its enchantments are great (except "Bullet Time" which doesn't work properly, so don't pick that). Besides that they are not most suitable for a special class but rather great against special enemies with very high armor. On the lower difficulties it doesn't matter that much because the armor of enemies is weaker.
