D1 Unique Swords: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:09, 30 October 2011

Unique swords in Diablo and Hellfire. Swords get a 50% damage bonus against animals, and are extremely useful during the middle levels, with the preponderance of animals in the Cats and Caves. The only animal in Hell is the lava dog; everything else is a demon (Hell Witches are animals in Hellfire, but not in Diablo), but swords are still the most popular melee weapon type there since they do higher damage than any of the one-handed blunts.

While none of the unique swords can match up with a good magical sword for the end game on hell difficulty, most of them are useful at earlier stages of a character's progression.

Hellfire Unique Swords

The following can only be found in Hellfire. All of the Diablo unique swords can be found in Hellfire as well.

Diamondedge

Nice theme on this item; pity the damage wasn't high enough to make it more viable.

Diamondedge
(Long Sword)
Damage: 2-10
+50% Chance to Hit
+100% Damage
+50% Resist Lightning
Armor Class: 10
Altered Durability
Requirements: 20 strength, 30 dexterity
Durability: 10
Qlvl: 17
Availability: SP and MP.

Eater of Souls

Another sword with potential to be useful, but undone by the two-handed nature of it. Should have been made 1h; even the graphic looks one-handed.

Eater of Souls
(Two-Handed Sword)
Damage: 8-16
+50 Hit Points
Hit Steals 5% Life & 5% Mana
Constantly lose Hit Points
Requirements: 65 strength
Durability: Indestructible
Qlvl: 23
Availability: SP and MP.

Shiotachi

Not a bad item, with the fastest attack and armor penetration. A step down in damage from a top quality bastard sword, though.

Shiotachi
(Great Sword)
Damage: 10-20
One-handed sword
Fastest Attack
Penetrates Armor
+6 Lightning Damage
Requirements: 75 strength
Durability: 100
Qlvl: 21
Availability: SP and MP.
