Got all the skills, now just to get a hold of a scythe ..and enchant 19-20% mod ..

@Armadillo Man .. we know you didn't take the pics to show off how you did in UW .. you did it to show off your colossal and Tormented Offhand :P

But da grr Meh! If i wanted to show them off I'd post screeshots in the 'Show off your cool weapons' thread or whatever it is now... Honestly it was to show that I managed the run

Is the +20% enchant longer the only mod that matters on the scythe?

Does IW ignore other mods, particularly the "+15% damage while enchanted" mod/inscription?

Pardon this newb question, I asked this because I have a perfect enchant mod on a 13-req ancient scythe, but the +15% damage while enchanted is on another (hard mod, not inscription). Do I have to merge them into one weapon?

But if IW ignores everything else on the weapon except the +20% longer enchant mod, then I already have the "perfect" weapon

wow this seems like a fun build to do. Illusory Weaponry is one of my fav skills in the game.

Abedeus · May 21, 2007, 01:21 PM // 13:21

Hmm. Is this usable in Hard Mode? Anyone can check?

Actually I believe the term you're looking for is "F**king Awesome".

Should the scythe be vampiric? (Or Zealous)?

The.D0pefish · May 23, 2007, 11:41 AM // 11:41

the scythe can have any prefix you like but not the 2 you've mentioned.
Because of IW you don't hit them directly, so no prefix would trigger.
Zealous and Vampiric would only have the negative effect for you

So I take it a "+15% damage while enchanted" inherent mod / inscription won't have any effect too?

ACreator · May 23, 2007, 12:53 PM // 12:53

nop. use a +5 Energy one

PS: can any1 tell me how t deal with DNM in HM?

The.D0pefish · May 23, 2007, 02:46 PM // 14:46

well at the starting pont you need to run behind benton and refresh your armor skills.
then kill him with your staff....
later on run away and refresh your spells

+5 Energy
+10% chance half spell recharge
even +10% chance half spell cast (though not terribly useful)

The prefix on the weapon doesn't matter at all... but as mentioned, the "damage mod" can be something unrelated to damage at all, and that can be helpful.
