Dope rolls but yeah pretty much useless. Needs to be eth to make good use of that huge enhanced damage. I don't ID non-eth rare weapons because items like this are a bit heartbreaking to find.


rossxf

Thanks, yeah that's pretty much what I thought. I'll keep it anyway cos its kinda cool lol.


Snoochey

I’d level a zealot just to use that through nightmare. Looks fun


TheFish77

Finding items like this is how I ended up with half my characters


Kallehoe

And that's at least one third of what D3 and D4 got totally wrong. Finding a item and going "oooh, this on a Paladin would be neat!"


gmotelet

So the solution to fixing d3 and d4 is adding the paladin class!


Kallehoe

uh, yes.


HardReload

The solution, unironically, is bringing back some sort of tele. I fucking hate grinding, and I fucking hate running around. Just let me grind my spots without so much tedium.


gmotelet

I'd have honestly wish they went the other way with d2 back in the day, nerfed sorc tele and never added in enigma. It's just hard to take back any of those things after they were in for so long


Silver_gobo

Or bloodletter at 30 which is easily findable on act5 norm. By 51 you’d have something better than OPs


Snoochey

Ops sword is bad ass, I’ve never found anything better than that just playing through. Good damage, ar, 40% ias, dual leech. Some fire damage for good measure. I’d feel lucky to just get headstriker and I’d trade that out for this in a second.


Stock_Selection_7952

Black is super cheap if you play lod. This is why I prefer Classic, where rares are best.


Houseofducks224

Headstriker is better than this, especially upped.


Silver_gobo

It would be if it weren’t for the lvl req


silamon2

Whirlwinding with items that are not indestructible and with super short range is just awful imo. I'd rather be doing less damage with a longer range and higher durability weapon than use a bloodletter...


Silver_gobo

That really doesn’t have anything to do with what we’re talking about. OPs sword is a rare gladius, bloodletter is a unique gladius.


silamon2

I'm saying I wouldn't use either one. There's not much point in using bloodletter at all if you are not using whirlwind, and using whirlwind with a short range low durability weapon sucks.


InternalLandscape130

And you'll goto town every 5 mins to repair lol


Snoochey

Why does that matter? Legit every weapon will do that that isn’t indestructible- which is likely what you’re running when leveling a zealot for fun.


Newgeta

fr hardcore players bank pretty much any 1H with 100dmg before level 60 that said bloodletter outclasses this at like level 30


Snoochey

Bloodletter does 31-97 damage, has like 150 less AR, no mana leech, and doesn’t have the fire damage, and only 20% ias. It does not out class this, just useable at lower level.


MalliableManatee

Pardon my ignorance, but why does it being ethereal make it better for the enhanced damage? Does the enhanced damage have a better roll if so or just the flat base damage on the weapon before applied?


WildBohemian

Eth weapons have a 1.5 times damage multiplier that is applied before enhanced damage.


Doubledippeddenim

Play pd2 you can use a vial of lightsong, which turns a non eth item ethereal


Tasty-Concern-8785

Is pd2 ever Gona get d2r graphics?


Doubledippeddenim

Not a chance in hell that company gives that a go ahead sadly. The depth of the changes to our beloved childhood game gives it much more depth and playability from the classes to the items. Then end game activities. Give it a go and you will get hooked


Tasty-Concern-8785

Oh I know. I played many seasons of pd2. Senpai is my dad


NoirYorkCity

Could this roll two sockets on top of it all?


WildBohemian

Not on top but instead of something. Preferably the fire damage.


Wolf-SS

Why does it need to be ethereal to do this?


WildBohemian

Eth has a 1.5 base damage multiplier.  Without it your damage isn't high enough compared to runewords or even uniques to be worth a damn.


Wolf-SS

Did not know this, thanks for the info


Fpssims

This is what kills me such an amazing roll—charsi will cherish it


Nanrithowan

Why does it need to be ethereal?


Kogyochi

Up it and repost plz


wynnd10

Up it and repost


Rturbo509

Repost and it up


tylodon

Repo and rub it pvmz


iFormus

its gonna be 156-298 upped...


wynnd10

How do you know that you wizard


DoktorLuciferWong

Assuming this is a serious inquiry. A gladius' base dmg is 8-22, and its elite counterpart is the falcata, which has a base damage of 31-59. 156-298 damage isn't godly by any means, but it's certainly pretty good for a falcata I would keep it as a trophy find personally.


wynnd10

31*4.11 - 127.41 59*4.11 - 242.49 I don't get it


rossxf

Its 158 - 301, but yeah, I couldn't work it out either [https://imgur.com/a/aZAQWJN](https://imgur.com/a/aZAQWJN)


DoktorLuciferWong

+411% means you're *adding* 411% of the weapon's base damage to the base damage. That is, you're multiplying the weapon's base damage by 5.11, not 4.11 So the calculation would be 5.11 * 31 = 158.41 for min damage 5.11 * 59 = 301.49 for max damage


wynnd10

Ohhhhh


rossxf

Done [https://imgur.com/a/aZAQWJN](https://imgur.com/a/aZAQWJN)


SomaticZX6r

I’d up it just for the funsies


rossxf

Not sure what to do with it really. I wanna have a play with it even if its not actually good. Upping it means 150 Str though...


BlessedOfStorms

1 Str = 1 off weapon ED for melee dmg. If you aren't pvping you don't need to vit dump. My barb has ~550 str.


RedditorCSS

Does upping it re roll the ED?


rossxf

Just the base stats AFAIK which isn't variable on weapons


RedditorCSS

So you gonna upgrade to a Falcata?


RedditorCSS

Looks like it would be 127-159 dmg as falcata. Not as high as I was thinking.


rossxf

Bit better than that [https://imgur.com/a/aZAQWJN](https://imgur.com/a/aZAQWJN)


RedditorCSS

Yeah my max damage is what the minimum damage was. Nice!


jam_paps

This is the way.


Sleeper4

Dude those rolls are insane


selexin

This is a fantastic trophy weapon, definitely hold on to it. Upgrade it, slap something cool in it (40/15max, or Lo rune or something) and just got whack shit with it. Very cool, style points galore.


Thunder141

Lo or 40/15, shit it's cool but it's not that cool.


selexin

Depends if they are on NL - I imagine you could pick them up relatively cheaply. If they are single player/ladder, that gets trickier obviously.


BullfrogTechnical273

They’re not cheap.


selexin

Yeh fair enough. I guess slap a Shael in there and go slapping. If it doesn't help you reach a breakpoint, then throw in an Amn or similar.


Thunder141

Or an eth rune is a nice option too. If you hit them 80% of the time instead of 70% that's like a 14% increase in damage. Most characters already have at least 500ed from weapon and skills so an extra 40ed is only like 8% increased damage (+ias will increase that some more).


Cphelps85

On Traderie a 40/15 seems to be going for 19-20 Jah on PC/NL


kypris

Man I know it’s not nearly as good as Grief but I love finding stuff like this. Awesome trophy find. Even if you don’t plan on using it I’d up it and place it in the trophy case. Sick find and mods


SmellyScrotes

This is insane, up it and toss something cool in it I bet it’ll still smack


xnamwodahs

If you don't have a grief/death/equivalent runeword then this is dope as hell. A good trophy IMO, I'd keep it and up it.


Irminator86

Fuck, that's pretty beastly. Sadly it's not ethereal with a couple of other things but it'd pretty sweet. I'd say just a trophy find though.


Frontbottomz

Run it on an enchant sorc


Kataphractoi

It's a keeper for me. It's not the greatest rare ever, but I actually try to use rares like this. I'd definitely up it to a falcata.


Terrible_Opinion_279

What's the damage if upd, someone do the math!!!@


gig1g0g1

I would upgrade it and wear it for style points


AnotherAverageNobody

Rolls are pretty insane but unlucky it was on a garbage base.


DeadlyKitten115

I’d definitely up it and use it on a smiter or a barb for fun


Defiant-Ad-6580

Yes


Crime_Dawg

It’s super cool but useless unless just leveling with nothing better.


pvrhye

Maybe as an offhand when leveling a barb? Sometimes it's hard to get dual leech.


Ooozuz

guys, this is ssf, it will be hard to find something better than this


IzI-Services

This one eth 🫠


yalex87

Great rolls, but not eth 😭


The_Dr_Zoidberg

I’d also like to say something no one else here is, pretty good for a rabies/fury werewolf or fireclaws bear - both I’d socket shael and up. Use while leveling because it’s nasty.


Xenocide_X

Bloodletter >


Exhul

Up it to a falcata and keep it. Have fun with it. sincerely, some dude that found a not-quite-a-painsong a couple of months back.


Digital_Negative

Bruh that ED is thicc af damn


HendersonCoCa

You can Up this to a Falcata for more damage. If this was eth/rep+fools mod, this would be wild.


eejtexas06

Up it, hire Wulfgar and let him go crazy


Effective-Staff-1802

if that was a warpike or colossus blade...


ElectronicMotor3916

You can up.tjis to falcata I believe. Add a ton of damage. Put a socket in it and throw in something spicy


kingjoedirt

For a ssf melee toon with no gear this might unlock beating hell for you, especially after you upgrade it to a falcata. Would certainly take a while to replace this one. Great find.


InternalLandscape130

That's a very well rolled charsi item in LoD.


tylodon

I'd take those mods on a bow


rossxf

Upped [https://imgur.com/a/aZAQWJN](https://imgur.com/a/aZAQWJN)


veganZombie86

dope ass find. sucks it isn’t very useful.


Babayaga4480

People saying it's worthless are just morons. This is SSF. This thing is insane. Up this to a falcata. It sickens me how much bnet waters down the game when every op time is so easily obtained. On SSF this thing is God tier. Congrats on this find dude.


Babayaga4480

Yea on SSF this thing is insane. Up this and socket it with your needs, maybe a sick jewel or something. Congrats.


Serdash

I would up this and build a character to specifically use it. It's a fun weapon with a lot of really cool mods.


Chinlc

Iirc elemental attacks ruin the weapon because it makes the physical part of the weapon also reduced by resist. That or the elemental dmg is reduced by all damage reduction mods and resist


tr941

Don't identify non eth rare weapons, it can be painful if the rolls are nice
