Seriously, what in the fuck are you guys in the last 2 or 3 pages doing?

Good lord, someone lied on the internet?! Better alert the authorities; these pranksters are getting out of hand.

In all seriousness, I'm going to also say that this isn't an "official" thread. It's not maintained by GGG, it's community run. There have been some dev posts to help out, but this is definitely not an "official" compendium. Otherwise there'd be a link to it in the Item Data section. Relax a bit and try not to freak out over something so trival.

Please, allow us to moderate the forum and if you feel the need to say something just be nice about it.

There is nothing saying their posts are against any rules, the items are not in the OP and at 160 pages deep in this thread it's nice to see some home made content.

No one claimed they were real and they're both screenshots. I really don't see the harm done here Xendran.

ugh, he damage on this claw is so bad...

I don,t get it, why have weapons be so much subpar compared to rares?

It's obviously meant as a melee weapon but it has damage that's so low that no one in their right mind would use it...

Please buff the damage on it or it will end up being a junk item.

Becuase it has ghost reaver and block chance and energy shield...

This weapon is meant to replace your shield if you were a claw/shield user. It's fine the way it is (although ghost reaver is op as shit with CI. The issue being CI, not ghost reaver.)

Oh, the old story of someone undervaluing a unique because he can't figure out how to build around it =P.

Yes, it has crap damage. So what? It provides a keystone. Worse items have been used for that. Also, it's quite clearly a defensive claw, with the +10% block chance.

Get a powerful main hand claw and this on the offhand and (assuming that Ghost Reaver appleis globally by having this, which is the only way I can interpret it because of how it's written) and your damage will be fine while you benefit from ghost reaver and improved block.

Also, 20% IAS is quite good.

Considering how to ghost reaver is to the ES nodes and I doubt that anyone beside a templar/witch/shadow would make use of it (otherwise it cost a stupidly high amount of points to get ES passives), the proximity of ghost reaver to those nodes makes it saves very little points for the amount of dps you'd lose compared to using a different weapon.

edit: If the weapon type was something else than a claw/dagger, it would be good because ghost reaver is very far from other weapon type (not too far from wands, but not close either).


If the ghost reaver node was in the middle of the skill tree, I wouldn't debate this and I'd consider this claw to be pretty good because getting ghost reaver would be a considerable point investment for a claw user and this claw would allow you to re-allocate those points elsewhere. Currently, if you use claws, this save you maybe 1 or 2 points...
