is varunastra best in slot for most 1 hand melee builds?
If you are any duelist or marauder build using one hand melee weapons, it seems to me Varunastra is the best option for almost any skill. If you want to go crit (untypical in that part of the tree) or need attack speed more than raw damage there are better options. But for anyone else who just wants a lot of damage it seems to be better than anything else. You can save yourself a dozen skill points or so with the multiple weapon nodes, 300+ base dps is top range for 1-hand melees and on top it solves your mana issues as well.
Kills diversity a bit if every build has the same best in slot weapon. Last bumped29 дек. 2018 г., 02:55:21

Varunastra is very far from being best in slot for many many builds.
For crit, if we only think about uniques, then Scaeva and Ahn's might are way better. |

Varunastra works best as a crit weapon. You take the dagger and claw wheels, and then a Might of the Meek in the shadow area becomes a 25% more damage jewel. Overall it's about the equivalent of a 400 pds crit sword, which is good, but not BiS.
As an RT weapon it's shit. |

ATM the best one hand sword is the oni goroshi by far.

" While one handed... it's not really one handed. You can't dual wield it (in the game, in PoB, you can), you can't have a shield. It's a very good sword, though. Bird lover of Wraeclast

" Well, since stats stick are gone, 35% of physical damage as extra fire damage is just too good. With very nice Base physical damage + huge crit, this sword is a beast. You don't need an offhand when you have the oni goroshi. If you really want to dual wields sword, then go for a big rare or ahn's might as budget alternative. Imo oni goroshi is just plain better, or a single weapon with lycosidae. Dual wield is not as good as before with stat sticks gone and don't worth the investment. |

varunastra is like 280 pdps,that's roughly the same as scaeva.
it's an ok starter weapon early in the league, but in the long term it is outclassed by rare weapons once you can afford them, any 400+ pdps sword shits all over varunastra. |
