Reaver for an SK weapon

[kuuky]

Hey I am wondering if this makes a good weapon for killing guards/giants. I have a sash of dragonborn for haste and about 160ish str atm. Also I am lvl 41 and a DE. TY

Reaver is a pretty shitty weapon in general due to it not being magic flagged

[kuuky]

Guess I'm glad I sold it then

Equisite Velium 2hds(32 dmg 36 delay) is a nice weapon for sk. Or go oggok cleaver, but that thing is slow.

I like my reaver, personally. But it's mildly annoying to have to carry around a backup magic weapon for when it doesn't work. That having been said, it works on most things and hits really hard when it does. Hard to beat that 40/40.

The clicky on shrunken goblin earring makes your non magic wpns magic

Shadowknights can cast grim aura to boot.

Reaver is probably the best 2h you could use outside of raid 2h/epic. Definitely not "a shitty weapon"

Really?

I hear this a lot, but it isn't true. I have the earring and I always have the grim aura buff on, and there are things that are invulnerable to my reaver. Not sure where this story started.

Well you know about plains pebble decreasing consumption rate too?

Can confirm

Tested this a few months back with both spell grim aura, and clicky grim aura and was unable to hit a willowisp =(

Quotes from 2002 saying Grim Aura does not make it magical in response to other people saying to use Grim Aura.

The whole grim aura thing is not true. I repeat, having Grim Aura on your character does NOT make the Reaver a magical weapon. However, this thing is ungodly for pvp.

I confirmed that you lose no stats when stamina goes down to 0...GREAT....looks like good info!
I went off to confirm that this can become a magical item and to me looks like no....I killed a bunch of shadow men and an item dropped that cast grim aura. I cast grim aura on myself and the REAVER was still unable to kill magical mobs. Not a problem for me as I bought it as non-magical but would welcome any comments or feedback on why my results were different..

I just tested the Reaver on a Willowasp. I did not land 1 hit in 5 min with Grim Aura up. So it does not make your attack magical. Also had Vampiric Embrace up also it was procing the life tap.

Still an awsome weapon though.


needs more research for era

Well done.
