True or False.


False - 1 hand melee weapon only.


Awkward...

Didn't read melee. Thank you.

The text reads "Varunastra is a powerful weapon that counts as all one-handed weapon types. It works with all one-handed skills and benefits from all weapon-specific bonuses."

So we're halfway forgiven, even though it says melee on the sword :P
This is meaaaan, show us the chest and the other flask toooo! :D
Oh look, another unique that buffs Mjolner Discharge builds! And nevermind that we already use a flask of grounding to counter Vinktar's.
Noice.

The only thing that looks unpromissing is the Daresso's Passion sword (and Glitterdisc, but it's intended to leveling).
Balance is an illusion, exile.
How does the sword (Varunastra) interact with the Deadly Dilettante Cluster, which says "24% increased physical damage to claws, 24% IPD to swords, 24% IPD damage to daggers"?

Is it "24% increased physical damage if the item is a sword, claw, or dagger", or is it three separate additions that say "This item is a sword. It gets 24% IPD. This item is a claw. It gets another 24% IPD. This item is a dagger. It gets another 24% IPD" such that the deadly dilettante cluster is effectively tripled for this thing?
Get ready for ID Varunastra challenge!

It'll triple-dip counting that the mechanics are like they usually are.
"counts as all one-handed weapon types. It works with all one-handed skills and benefits from all weapon-specific bonuses." Fix the phrasing Bex, you're sending us on a wild ride.

Edited because I'm a dummy, but also because staff worded things poorly.
"If they actually showed gameplay with it zoomed out and then zoomed it in for the real one I think there would be actual riots in the street. I think that people would burn the building down."

mm that first shield, that hybrid flask, and that vaal blade look real REAL nice.
Very good uniques, decent in power and also interesting designs. Exactly how uniques are supposed to be :)
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
