Since my drops have been a little dry lately, I have been doing some experimenting with lower level equipment for twinking. I am trying to figure out which is a better option for a L27 Insight. My two top options right now are an ethereal battle scythe and ethereal partizan.
The first thing that I want to get out of the way is this. It doesn't actually matter which one you use. With a good roll, both are so beastly at L27 that quibbling between them is almost a waste of time. Still, I wanted to see if anyone else had an opinion on the two options.
Battle scythe: The low requirements mean that it can be equipped on an L27 merc without any special equipment. The damage is high enough that most creatures are one hit kills even on P8, so the increased attack speed is nice. It also allows customization of the merc's other gear to match your playstyle.
Partizan: The damage boost is huge for this base, so it can easily last until your merc can equip an elite base insight. The strength requirement is still pretty high, so you will need some kind of strength boosting equipment to use it. The Face of Horror is an easy option, but I despise the chance for monsters to run. Lionheart is another great option, but that means I will be looking for an ebug templar coat to go along with it.
Does anyone have a preference between these bases, or have other options that I haven't thought about?
