[LLD][Showcase] Crafted Phys weapons + a little information

When it comes to phys melee weapons, Most of the mods are Vagan's since non-crafted mods give up to 1% more IAS, +2 top end flat, and LESS crit chance than Vagan's mods with Multi-mod.
With that in mind, the suffixes are taken up by Multi-mod + CC + IAS leaving us with 2 open prefixes to craft. Ideally, you'd look for T1 IPD(Vicious) and T1 Hybrid(Mercenaries) as the only two mods.

Usually, takes quite a few regals and multiple Ex worth of Alterations in order to achieve this. Once it's all said and done, you have:

Something along the lines of these.
Vicious + Mercenaries can go upwards from 120% IPD to 153% IPD, so these are well rolled. Accuracy doesn't matter much for LLD as long as you have above around 700 you should have 95% hit chance at level 28.
Also, don't be afraid to shoot for both, I personally kept any Vicious weapon that got a good Regal, and Mercenaries weapons that got at least T2 IPD, but the difference is staggering.

Hope you all enjoyed my little showcase here, have a good one and keep on dueling exiles!

Very nice Regal's!

I didn't start 28 lld until patch 1.0 but we didn't have master benches so we exalt slammed our hybrid phys.

PvP S2 in Talisman turned up a nice hybrid too.

Hopefully I can get active again soon!

Not sure I'd choose a copper kris over a skean for phys dagger but to each his own I guess.

Accuracy doesnt work like that and copper kris is a bad base

But nonetheless lucky regals, getting vic+merc is actually quite hard and can get very expensive.

Worth noting is that there are legacy 28 weapons with more than 153% ipd. Like this one

Sadly even a recrafted version of that is kinda bad compared to a vagan one with much less dps (because of how accuracy truly works)

Yea, wasn't aiming for Phys on the copper Kris, but when I hit Vicious alone, thought I might as well and got lucky.

Not sure why you quoted a part of my post? Anyways, I suggest you check the accuracy page in poe wiki. It explains very accurately why your assumption of chance to hit is wrong. This page will also make you realise that crafting crit weapons without vagan mod in LLD in useless. Only RT weapons are nice with those 153 ipd rolls.

due to double accuracy check for crit, vagan weapons are like 30% more damage appromixately in most of scenarios.

Damn good crafts these days (no Prismweave)!
It's rly nice to see someone else is crafting and playing melee weps in lld:))

As we are showcasing our sticks... I have bigger one:)


and a bit stronger one:)

Min. 900 accuracy is ok, I am currently playing with 1,1k accu.
Contact me in game @Huzar for some melee test fights.
Cya!
