It's meant for soul melee builds, but can function as a dollar store Renegade Armor without any soul use. But this more necessitates the use of Death Cap Mushroom and Iron Hide Amulet, which doesn't work out so well without any Cooldown to sustain them.
Iron Hide Amulet would take you from 35% damage reduction to 60.6%. Here, Protection takes you from 35% to 41.65%, which is only a 10.2% increase in your damage reduction.
For reference, if you take 56% damage from an attack and slap on Protection, you would still die in 2 hits regardless, and that's a lot more likely when you're using Reckless to effectively make your HP bar deplete 1.66x faster.
Maulers - DECENT
Radiance is good. The weapon can reach 8.4 HPS and get a sizable amount of healing per second from Radiance relative to Leeching.
Crit is also good. It's the weapon's best general DPS enchant.
Thundering could be better, but it could be worse. It's a decent weapon to use it. Unchanting or Committed would be better.
The main problem is the weapon's lack of Gravity, and also the gild. Illager's Bane is already so-so, and this one's just Lv1.
Truthseeker - SO SO
Basically like the Maulers. It has Voidstrike which is a solid 70% minimum DPS boost, and it has either Leeching or Enigma Resonator which works fine on it.
The first slot is doing the weapon no favors outside of for a soul build (Echo), but even that's not the best option for it, and the last slot is not what you'd use on a soul build that uses Echo.
Refreshment doesn't lend itself to weapons with no AoE, and neither Shock Wave nor Swirling synergize very well on the weapon compared to its other options. The fact that it's a one-hit combo is moot.
Bone Bow - GOOD
Only has 2 slots, and it's a Bone Bow, but with those factors considered, it's good at doing ranged damage and ammo preservation.
Fighter's Bindings - SO SO
It has Radiance... in two slots. And it has ShockSwirl... in the same slot.
Sadly its best combo would be Looting + Swirling + Radiance. Or rather it's the only combo worth using, which is strange to say for a weapon with so many possible combos that it's hard to get a pair that doesn't have at least 3 active possible combos at any given time.
Heartstealer - NAH
Voidstrike is a nice +76.7% MINIMUM DPS boost that multiplies with other physical buffs and helps boost the speed of Leeching.
Shock Wave and Swirling combined are a mere 38.9% DPS boost that does not multiply with Voidstrike (meaning they are effectively only adding 22% more DPS to the whole total), and they can block Leeching.
I totally forgot i already sent the heartstealer in another thread. (Feelin stupid) im just gonna be rerolling enchants on the bindings till i get shockwave instead of the one radiance or until i get crit hit. Thanks gor your advice. Again!
