Primate Murder -> RE: Returning Warrior Advice! (6/9/2020 2:46:31)

Welcome back and congrats on reaching the top level!
Not sure how much my help is still needed here, but I'll do what I can:
Weapons
As mentioned above, wind is the best element to align your no-drops to (since the best weapon is premium), along with the PWD awe special.
Fire, water, ice, earth and light have Bloodblades or Bloodzerker Blades (functionally identical outside the FSB) which deal +20% damage. They deal high damage and are easy to use, making them the go-to weapons for many FO builds. That said, there are a few other options for those elements:
- Kindred sword has a chargable autohit.
- MagnaBlade is the last weapon in the game that deals +30% damage. It does have a special though, so it's slightly less useful for armor skills (outside togglables like Beast Form and Bloodzerker).
- Troll Club (with Berserk toggled) is actually stronger that the Bloodzerker Blade and requires no GGB, but comes with a hefty penalty to your accuracy.
- There are a variety of light weapons that can be clickied on to activate a weapon skill (like the Gauntlet of Xano in your storage), which have great synergy with Bloodzerker armor toggles and werewolf's Beast Form.
Royal Voidrender in your storage toggles to deal harm damage.
If you pull points from End to Luck, Jalek's Panic Reaver has great synergy with werewolf - you can cast Snarl, then eat the fear for bth/LS bonus, all qc and usable inside the Purple Rain loop. If you want something simpler, URs have Agony's Embrace which gives you a 15% damage bonus (at the expense of taking +15/1.4% more).
Armors
There's little I can add here that hasn't already been mentioned, except... Did you complete the advanced subrace quest? That would give you a second no-drop armor ( werewolf transformation) and unlock the abilities of its elemental variants. If you don't have the UR or tokens for Terrazerker and WKZ, this works as a great armor for both earth and light - and Gauntlet of Xano + Beast Form should deal damage comparable to WKZ's nuke.
Shields
If you're aligning your no-drop to wind, Gemini would not actually give you any extra slots. Instead, I'd suggest Cerberus Ward (fire/dark) to fit in CIT.
In addition to Kindred, you also have the option of Celtic Wheel (Int drive for one cast of Moonwalker's Grace), Hyperalphean (1/battle free block against a single hit), and Logos (blocking-boost toggle).
Golem Guard has an sp-cost toggle to reduce the damage you take.
If you find yourself with a spare UR, get Golden Dragon Head shield for a boost to your LS rate. Otherwise, Scarab Shell has a toggle to lower monster MRM, which would increase the accuracy of all your attacks.
Spells
The Thernda guest is your first priority if you find yourself with a UR.
Moonwalker's Grace is a qc Dex booster (costs mp, so use with Celtic Wheel and Int misc).
Warmaster's Burst gives you an acceptable nuke for wind.
Pets
Mutant Egg pet from Grenwog has paralysis infliction, making it a pretty nice for wind and energy elements (and water if you're not using Kindred weapon/armor/shield).
Frost Effigy has a chance to inflict Freeze, giving it great synergy with any fire nukes.
Morningstar pet has a toggle to inflict EleVuln or DefLoss, increasing the damage or accuracy of your attacks. Eventually you'll want to replace him with WoolZard, but it'll be a while until it comes back.
Lepre-Chaun is a light damage booster.
Model 294 inflicts EleVuln.
Miscs
As mentioned by the folks above, Essence Orb is a major boost to any playstyle. Shadowfeeder Pendant and Love Potion (qc control; comes back at Snugglefest) are great for the PR loop.
Goggernaut Helm is a cheap misc that boosts the accuracy of every attack on the field (without the usual /2 for spells). Not good synergy with on-block shields, but great for increasing the accuracy of your attacks and pets.
Windter Crown gives an omni-elemental damage boost for all your attacks, making it slightly better than the more specialized options, and can give extra sp in a pinch.
Bell Shell heals a bit of your hp based on damage dealt. The heal is less than CoRS', but it also doesn't reduce your damage, so it's an overall better choice for FO builds.
Terror Visage increases your Snarl's chances of inflicting Fear.
The updated Morningstar Helm gives you immunity to paralysis.
Frostgale's Remorse gives you ice/wind damage boost, extra Dex and increased chances of inflicting paralysis with Mutant Egg pets.
Hope the info's useful and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
