Default Blue SK 7.5Kpp to drop on a weapon

What is the best value? Don't care if slash or blunt, if one hander need to include off hand gear in the 7.5Kpp. Also don't care about level requirements for proc.

Shard of night + SBS/Atra shield depending on what the shard costs you

OR

Reaver that works on the majority of mobs

Reaver. It’s a brute lvl 30-60 and good raid weapon.

Id pack a moss, noc or ebon and shield for tanking/casters/undead fights. Atra is great but a SBS or clay guardian works.

What level are you at the moment?

Jade Inlaid Crescent Axe is good across the board though. Reaver is good too and just barely within your budget, but I prefer weapons with stats like Str/Sta and/or procs.

For SK specifically, these two are good options:

Reaver and Shard of Night are a few tiers of power above those budget picks. OP has 7.5k to spend. They should get something good.

Having that much to spend and being willing to spend that much are two different things. He's looking for options, I suggested some.

Since Shard of Night was suggested, I think Noctivigant Blade and Ebon Mace are worth considering too.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Noctivagant_Blade

If he's going to drop the full shebang on one weapon, it should be one that isn't Shadowknight only, one he can give to another class later. Jade Inlaid Crescent Axe would be good for that.

Keep in mind piercing skill is capped lower, so your attack rating will be lower.

I guess my question is what are you hoping to do with it. Are you looking to solo for a substantial amount of time (reaver works wonders on guards) or to fill a DPS niche in PUGs? Or is this for group tank or raid offtank work? If the latter a nice 1hs/1hb and shield is your best bet as the shield ac isn’t affected by soft cap and will provide you a lot of damage mitigation. Shield is also nice for pulling to help with taking some extra hits.

Tbh a shadow knight can do a damn fine job tanking with auto attack off…

Cracked Staff. Spend the remainder on Gnomish Fireworks and booze and play the game the way it was meant to be played.
