I slowplayed my Paladin in 1.14d to lvl 28 to wear an "Honor" Devine scepter(with no automods for cheap repair). I did find some failed uniques, but more importantly Nokazons, great vs Diablo.

I remember reading somewhere to pick up Crystal/Dimensional swords to look for ethereal ones with lots of damage. This is good, right? Or did it need to come with two open socks/some IAS? The damage is very nice!
I've had a battle inside my head for a few weeks now about what to do with the few hr's I've had laying around. Decided to go with Phoenix:
I've been testing it out with fball/nova sorceress. The battle between 4-piece Tal's+Griffon's vs Vipermagi setup is on. I rolled a nice Glacial Trail map:
The 88mf Vipermagi setup started out strong:
(WF turned out to be 8%)

Wow, I didn't think the sword was as nice as the comments here indicate. I was positive it required either base IAS or the two socks mod to be usable, but apparently the damage is nice enough as it is (the +15 min damage is a great mod as well according to @saracen85's comment? haha!)
I'm a sucker for minimum damage builds.. Phaseblades have a tight damage range, and the +15 min damage brings the range even closer.
"Minimum Damage bonuses can result in minimum damage ≥ maximum damage:
When this is applied by a melee attack, maximum weapon damage = minimum weapon damage + 1. Character screen incorrectly applies this condition to final attack damage after +% Damage, when it is applied before +% Damage"
To put it simply, once reached the threshold, any additional min damage gives you an average +1 damage instead of the usual +.05 damage.

Oh wait, large charm..
Same run, this should make for a good Pando Project item!
More surprising than a nice find, since it's not really useful for anything. I didn't know the council could drop up to Doombringer. Now I'm curious, what's the highest TC they can drop?
