Does anybody have a list of 100-proc melee weapons?

So far I only found Dreamweaver's Scourge and Deathwright Whipblade, and both of those pay 10% melee (+MC) damage for effects. Is there any other option?

Thanks!

 These things are quite rare. I only know of another one: Confetti Cannon Hammer. It could return in about 3 months as of this post.

Thank you!

Blazing and Twisted Gauntlets of Xano in the R GGB Shop that have a built in skill for boosted damage.

I'm looking for something my warrior can farm Caecus with. Weapon skills, unfortunately, do not count as 100-proc for his Backlash.

 Some weapon skills do count as 100-proc attacks. For example the skill from the Ranged Morningstar Cross weapon-skill counts as a 100-proc attack. To use this you'd have to re-train to use Ranged weapons but the new system has made re-training fairly trivial, especially if you have estate trainers.

That's because, uh, Morningstar Cross is 100-proc.

Unfortunately, with the latest changes to Dex, Ranged damage starts out at 25% damage penalty - and Caecus' poison inflicts -Dex, resulting in yet more damage loss. Between those two factors, Ranged weapons end up somewhat ill-suited for farming.

I don't know if you have FruitCakeZard, but that painting is the most optimal as the original farming interaction I posted with Tempest Power Armor turned out to actually be an exploit and no longer works. Can you supply your warrior's page along with the paintings you have available to use? I could probably get you a much more optimal strategy than farming Caecus. That strategy is actually not optimal as you point out that there's no easy ways for warriors to farm it now. There might be a ranger strategy I could think of but I haven't done enough testing for that. If you have other farming characters that use other paintings that would be extremely helpful.

EDIT: Just checked the rotation list, looks like FruitcakeZard returns in 6 weeks. If you don't have that I'll shop around for potential workarounds once you can tell me what items and paintings you have available to you.



EDIT2: If you want a farm setup for Caecus Warrior, how much setup are you willing to tolerate? If it's still under the 15 second timer you should be okay right?

Unfortunately, I've missed the last time Fruitcake Zard was around, so I needed an alternate farming strat to take advantage of the 50% gold bonus coming so close to the donation. I fondly remember your idea of farming with Frostwyrm Fang, so if you come up with something like that, it'd be amazing. Right now Caecus takes 2-3 turns on average, depending on LS and Tropos infliction.

Warrior ID: 87042533
I have all the seasonal paintings, and a few Void ones, but not the one I actually need.

Preferably, the set-up is a only click or two - I'm farming on four characters at once, and nivp's new launcher is kinda laggy in multi-screen mode.

Once more, thank you!

 I did find a consistent Warrior farming strategy for Caecus that is 1-1.5 turns, but it unfortunately involves using Star Saber of Justice (Currently GGB Rare) or a similar kind of weapon for optimal results, all which tend to be premiums (except for Carrot Lance). I did search far and wide and as far as I could tell there are no weapons other than the listed that can replicate the same effect:

Armor: Tempest Power Armor
Weapon: (Twisted) Star Saber of Justice/ Amythst Sunderer / Hunger / Chrono Dagger(s) / Carrot Lance.
Shield: Osiris Shield / Amethyst Guard (Cure Poison Skill. This is the most ideal option)
Pet: Angra Linnorm
Guest: Essence of Carnage
Stats: 250 STR/CHA/LUK
Potion: Regenerative Spritzer (Carrot Lance) / Ambush (else)

This build takes advantage a certain weakness of Caecus's attack pattern: He always goes for the 0-damage blind attack first which means you don't really need to worry about your HP. Also Your weapon due to its effect will allow you to survive battles with 0 HP because the game engine calculates the heal before the 0 HP death check. If you had Mog Lightnauts you can make this consistently >=1 turn. Just attack. You might still occasionally die because Caecus's poison will be more than the HP you regenerate every round, but more often than not you should be able to clear rounds fast. This build is more optimal the more damage you deal. Ideally you have better booster options than the two F2P options listed above. From what I see in your warrior's inventory you could probably get much more consistent results running this with double Dunamis. Though if you see this combination, you only really need 1 set of premiums - Either get one of the GGB items or you can run the Amethyst Set Pieces if you bought that.

Though I really don't like giving suggestions that use premiums but for farming I actually recommend using a rare box if you have any for these items.



Otherwise if you had the FruitcakeZard portrait the build would be:

Armor: Tempest Power Armor
Weapon: Burden of Insight
Shield: Hyperaldelphean Skjoldr / Sole of Soul
Pet: Angra Linnorm
Guest: Essence of Carnage
Stats: 250 STR/CHA/LUK
Potion: Ambush

With you just straight up attacking with trials lasting anywhere from 1 to 1.5 turns (Zardy kills himself if you don't do). Much faster and reliable than the above.



If buying GGB's/Premiums is a non-starter I'll keep shopping around for strategies. Although if you have any other premiums and/or packages that you have available to use that would also be helpful for strategy shopping. Also if this strategy doesn't seem to be effective please relay that too.

There's also the Mighty Hare Raiser Blade as a 100% proc melee water weapon, in case you're still looking. It's seasonl, though!

@ Shiba

Thanks! I was actually looking for that one but wasn't certain if/when it comes back. Fortunately, it seems I won't need it now.

@ PD

Wow, Tempest + Star Sabre strat is fast. Like, really fast. So far I haven't even needed Osiris, Cha, or either Potion - with Tropos shield and Mog+Dunamis I kill him in 1-2 turns easy, and outheal any poison damage with little trouble.

I'll have to see if there are any issues in long run, but so far your idea works fantastic!
