whats the best Polearm weapon for a Insight merc weapon? Does it matter if I use a Scythe or a War Scythe?.what if I found a Crystal Sword or a Scythe with 1-3 Sockets and bad stats on them, like "Etheral", does that matter?.I read I should farm Cow Level Normal for both these weapons, because they would always have the "right" item level, so they would be turned ALWAYS into 4 socket weapons from the Act 5 quest, is that correct?.I want to make a 4 socket Crystal Sword for my Sorc AND a 4 socket weapon for a merc for Insight mana reg aura. Elite weapon damage increased by ~24% on average to counteract the ethereal bonus being changed from 1.5x to 1.I have several questions and cant find 100% answers to this.Exceptional weapon damage increased by ~42% on average to be closer to elite weapons and counteract the ethereal bonus being changed from 1.5x to 1.25x.Normal weapon damage increased by ~4% on average.Non-Class Spear, Polearm, One-Handed Sword One-Handed Non-Throwing Axe, Club, Tipped Mace, ScepterĬlaw, Dagger, Throwing Axe/Knife, Non-Class Javelin, Bows/Crossbows now gain bonus damage equal to 50% dex instead of 100% dex.Staves & Two-Handed Axes/Swords now gain bonus damage equal to 110% str instead of 100% str (same as Hammers).
