At some point I should actually log into the game and stop browsing forums... Sorry I missed you by about an hour Sylvurdragon. Bagatelle is nearing level 6, but Kosimo is taking his time and still level 3 and has been known to head back to Korthos to finish up Slayer and try out spells and tactics on softer mobs.

Wondering if I can get a sigil or invite sent to Nimsyl my lvl5 bard healer. Thanks in advance.

I'll be playing on her this morning, so that's I'm closer to most others in the guild.

Thanks everyone for coming out! We had a good crowd today. Ran all the Update 4 stuff, no luck on sigils or loot for me (did get the bracers, but REALLY want the kukri.) Okay, so maybe Pit Lite for Spies in the House is accurate...

I wouldn't worry about it. Int mod to damage in exchange for using a +1 kukri of deception? Probably a step down from randomly-generated loot...

Thing is, I'll be taking the two weapon fighting line, probably Oversized as well, and looking at using that Kukri for off-hand...

Can I get a sigil for Shahes when some one has a chance. I am throwing all logic out the window and working on a non warforged battle caster. I'll post more info about my build idea later in the build thread. I have two extra days off so I am going to grind it out to catch her up with the rest of the guild for guild night.

Erm...the kukri is a light weapon. :)

You're a finesse build, right? The only combo that finesse-ers can use with OTWF are rapiers. That's a great combo, but it's kinda mutually exclusive with a kukri, and TWF finesse rogues don't have many feats to spare:

A common feat load for TWF finesse rogues: TWF (1st), Finesse (3rd), Toughness (6th), ITWF (9th), IC Piercing (12th), GTWF (15th). There's not much room to maneuver since all of those feats are basically essential to a TWF rogue build and missing any of them will significantly impact you in a negative way.

Compare the kukri with a standard +3 holy dagger/shortsword (ML 8):

1. The dagger/shortsword benefits from IC (Piercing). Rapiers also benefit from IC (Piercing). The kukri is a slashing weapon; Slashing is a much weaker choice for Improved Crit when compared to Piercing for a Finesse rogue, since they have fewer weapons to use it with, and only the kukri is decent (sickles are inferior weapons, being only 20/x2 crit).

2. +1 kukri of deception vs. +3 holy shortsword. You get +2 damage from the enhancement bonus alone plus an average of 7 damage from the holy's 2d6 (you could also substitute Pure Good + element or equivalent). That's 9 damage. Is your Int mod 9 points higher than your Str mod? Nine points of Int *modifier* is what you'd need for the kukri to *break even* with a +3 holy shortsword -- even if you leave your Strength at 10 forever, you'd need a 28 Int to make the kukri do more damage, though *only* if you ignored the Improved Crit problem. Also bear in mind that the item I am comparing to the kukri is one that's ML 8; better random gear is just a couple of levels away.

3. Step down from the item in #2, to a +3 (element) weapon, like a +3 flaming shortsword or +3 acid shortsword. That's ML 6, and quite possibly something you could find a deal on in the auction house right this second. Your Int still needs to be 6 points higher than your Str mod (22 Int with a 10 Str -- your Str is probably higher through items, pushing up the required Int to break even), just to make the kukri break even with a randomly generated piece of loot.

The kukri is a neat idea, but the stats just aren't there. This is the same as lot of other new named loot in the last few modules. They went overboard and unbalanced the game with greensteel, and now the pendulum is in the far opposite direction and we're getting named items that fall somewhere between mediocre and useless, even when compared to randomly generated items of a similar level.

Well, I've definitely been schooled in the kukri! Still, I plan to make it and use it off-hand for now. It's true about all the crit benefits and such, but I'm thinking it'll be nice to have as an off hand weapon paired with a piercing weapon at least. And yeah, I'm probably not taking OTWF, we'll see. My Str is definitely low, and I plan to boost up my Int, so I figure it'll be something to check out.
