I was looking at the weapons as they exist now, and wanted to see what I could possible make as a sweet dueling weapon with the upgrade cube recipe that is coming out with the patch. This is what I came up with. Shouldn't be too hard to get, but is gonna be costly to socket it, especially with the new realm wipe.

Get a perfect, ethereal Heart Carver Rondel, socket it with Zod, and bang, you got a sweet as shit dueling melee weapon, one I plan on making for my Pally, unless of course a new super unique is introduced.

Check it out. With the elite form of Poingard (whose name I can't remember) the base dmg is 37-53, and with the 50% damage increase for being ethereal, the base dmg goes to 55.5-79.5. Now, if you get a perfect Heart Carver, which is 240%, that brings the weapon to a whopping 189-270! Not only is that a sweet amount of dmg, the weapon is fast, already ITD (take the place of eth now, and Jah after patch), has 35% Deadly Strike, 150% AR Bonus, and adds 15-35 dmg.

That is my precious I am thinking about right now. What do you think? Is there anything better that you can think of, or is there a flaw with my reasoning? A Heart Carver can be ethereal, right?
