The other characters are all decent with swords as well, and the Necromancer even has a melee skill that only works with a dagger. As with all melee weapons, the Barbarian is very skillful with a sword, and has a Sword Mastery skill. The small dagger is among the weakest weapons in the game, while the largest two-handed swords can rival axes and polearms for dealing massive damage, and having a long reach and plenty of durability as well. Swords have great variety in range, damage, Attack Rate, and durability. The tip of the blade is usually tapered off to aid in thrusting, but many designs have simple flat ends to aid in balance. The straight, double-edged blades such as the broadsword or the mighty claymore can be used to both thrust and slash. The blade itself can either be curved or straight curved, convex swords like the falchion and the scimitar, are used for slashing attacks, and thus are only sharpened on one side of the blade. Many designs include a guard that protects the fingers and knuckles. Comprised of a blade and hilt, the hilt comprising of a pommel for offsetting the weight of the blade, and a grip for holding it straight. The sister orb, Death's Fathom, does not suffer from the above problems because Cold Mastery works differently, thus making it a much better option over Heart of the Oak for Cold Damage Sorceresses.Įschuta's Temper is the cheapest alternate option for fire sorceresses that cannot afford Vex Runes or the Heart of the Oak Rune Word.One of the most popular armaments in history, the sword is arguably the most deadly yet versatile weapon available to a fighter. Heart of the Oak (for fire) and Crescent Moon (for light) are superior in comparison to Eschuta's Temper. For example, Eschuta's Temper only adds up to 20% Lightning Damage on top of the 338% that is received from Lightning Mastery at level 25, which is only a 4.56% increase in damage.īecause the bonus damage stacks with the masteries, Eschuta's Temper is not very efficient, since it doesn't increase the total damage by 20% (that is stated on the item), but it adds up to 20% extra to the values of masteries instead. While it might appear that Eschuta's Temper will provide a great boost to someone's overall Fire or Lightning Damage, this amount only stacks with the values provided by Fire Mastery and Lightning Mastery. However, Sorceresses that specialize in Fire Spells or Lightning Spells may find Eschuta's Temper more useful. With a more consistent boost to Sorceress skills and a high magic find, The Oculus may seem like a safer choice for a unique sorceress weapon.
Eschuta's Temper is a unique Eldritch Orb, an item exclusive to the Sorceress.
