High high can the base item damage go for an ancestral item? I finally came across one but running 200 less damage than my current dagger. The one I found/rolled came in at 1k damage even after 5 upgrades. I remember seeing some others had 1200 but don’t remember if my memory was off or not.
What have the wise rogue elders seen before? How high can the roll go?
Base weapon damage is determined by item power and stat ranges. Last time I checked, 800 item power is somewhere around 1200 damage without upgrades, but can’t verify until I get home. I was told that base Item Power 850 is the highest the game supports, but I have not seen these first hand.
Thanks, very helpful. So…guess this will just be a trophy in stash then. Item level rolled too low.
The broodmother dagger from the named scorpion in Kejistan could theoretically drop an 820+ item power dagger, but Blizz had to be Blizz and changed the drop rate to 30%, with most drops being low sacred instead of ancestral. These only have 3 stats, but could still produce a nice weapon with a lucky roll.
I believe the best mobs to farm for daggers are cultists. I’ve obtained more than a few Condemnations and Ashera’s Khanjars from them.
Interesting. Thanks for that tip on cultists.
Are the unique daggers worth to use or a good ancestral with high roll and legendary affixes on average better?
Depends on the build.
I will say that the new season aspect that adds poison imbuement to every 3rd Puncture cast is pretty scary when used with high 75%+ increased attack speed mods. This is where Ashera’s Khanjar will outperform many other legendary aspects.
Throw the Creeping Death heart into the mix with those poison procs.
Two questions
Will this aspect carry over to eternal? I’m loving it.
And, does that Kanjar drop as random or only from the quest? I use the dagger that does extra damage on full combo points with chance to proc three points on hit because the one use use dropped too low for me
I got Khanjar as a random drop from legions. Excited to see it, but sadly roll on item power was too low (1k damage after full upgrades) so we basically unusable compared to the equipment I already have. (high damage, random/weak affix stats was still clearing faster than the unique at a low roll)
I have a 845 base item dagger + 25 so 870. I forget how much damage it does tho
Edit: sorry it’s not unique it was a rare
I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the base damage of the dagger is purely on item power. Doesn’t matter if unique or rare.
No. Codex says so. Just Blizz things i guess.
