Opinions? I'm using crafted crystal sword with kraken stance. Just switched over to Dex (completely for fun, kinda like it more) and still need some items but I wonder if a very good craft is a better investment than SSU crystal sword. Thanks for any input.

Ideally you want a life spark proc, another good proc, and -enemy cold res. IAS, UA and +skills are also good. I just rolled a decent one last night I'll post a photo when I'm home later.

The thing is Cold blood is pretty decent if you havent a gg craft one it has - res good procs there which also seems nice,

But the downside is Shatter the flesh

For e.g. im Melting through a big pack and sometimes the Druide stays still for a second because he "casts" shatter the flesh which is sometimes anyoing but for me that downside doesnt matter that much

I didnt tested to craft a op one but ill try it too but atm with that Cold blood if you came around one for me its very solid,

are you guys going to craft sacred + bless it sacred or bless abandoned or otherwise?

Upon looking at this sword further, it's really not that great of a roll (abandon craft). However, I do want to mention that the Life Spark proc is so incredibly strong for Single Target Bossing when you have 4 or 5 frame Twisted Claw attacks. Basically if it can't one-shot you, you'll be fine. On Melee Attack doesn't seem to work with Harbinger.

I think the initial harbringer proc counts as a melee attack but if you watch the spell animation, it launches crows+arrows at all enemies which would be considered projectiles/striking.

Harbinger doesn't proc melee attack procs only on striking and on kill.

For a bossing weapon make sure you get banish proc too.... Lvl 40 banish results in an extra 3600 damage per hit (+30 dmg/lvl x 40, per element). When you have 15 multi-hitting twisters stacked on a boss, its a noticable difference.

is insane. I have killed every single boss with it, except Sam and lab, it clears super well and the on demand banish is huge for single target. I would say if you can definetly try and get one. If not, i wish you good luck on crafting. You can get a better one but it will take a lot of shrines.
