Best In Slot Weapons for Lvl 10

[YouMayBeSeated]

Sifting through this forum for a few days with tons of helpful gearing guides, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here for the hard work and thorough gearing guides.

Having said that, I noticed many if not all posts that I came across still show Artifact weapons as BiS. It appears the nerf is known by all and the Artifact not BiS anymore. What is the new BiS weapon(s) of choice? Does it just fall into the BOE category? Do you just make a level 15 and farm BOE items until you get a decent weapon?

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Some Classes it'd be the 3x Socketed 2H from TBC Dungeon most likely. Any Class that can use the no Level Epic Staff, that's BiS. Artys are still going to be BiS for certain Classes due to no other appropriate options.

My Artifact is iLvl12? I found a iLvl15 Green Item on the AH and it made me think there has to be a better option out there

You may get better suggestions if you share what class you are trying to gear

Any mdps class will benefit greatly from the Cudgel of Naralex as it has a slow swing speed, means higher top end dmg and also higher PPM for weap enchants.

Apart from that you can use BFA ilvl 15 BoEs with socket for most classes. Then Staff of Jordan lol 1 req ilvl 22 for spellcasters.

Welcome to the club mate!

@ohti 10 subsection?

Where does one go about finding a lvl 1 req Staff of Jordan?
Are those GF'ed, or is there a method to getting your mits on one?

They are GF'd. The only way now is to find them off the AH, or hookups.

late to this thread, but do wonder the same for hunters, heirloom bow is slightly worse than the green bow vulps start with, and most seem to use gf'd bows or artifact bow, one with heirloom but with a +2 scope, which says its for level 17, wasnt sure if you could put the scope on a higher level char, then mail it to the 10 if thats how it worked and made it better than the green, not too sure

Blue Dungeon Bow from WoD/BfA that procs a Socket?

Only Bfa dungeon items proc sockets, for WoD you need to farm apexis rare spawns în open world.

The Deadly Bronze Poniard from BS is 1.7 weapon dps, while everything else i see is 1.1-1.3. As a rogue with slice and dice melee is usually my top dmg barring belt bomb; would higher ppm from a slower weapon or the socket from a bfa dung weap be worth it over that?

Slower weapon will 100% be better for higher PPM. And you can use the bfa socket on offhand for stats.

This part I'm not certain for sure, but back in the day your Sinister Strike used to hit for higher if your MH was slower. So that would be an advantage as well.

What would the Best in Slot be for a Level 10 Hunter? Right now I’m using an iLvl 15 Green with no socket or tert, but to my knowledge thats the best I’ve found. Wondering if there are any Epic BoE’s out there.

Not entirely sure any of the notable BOE epics can be scaled to be useable at 10, which leaves epic procs on overstatted quest rewards (hand of argus crossbow, etc) or the hellscream BOA as probably your best bets.

Hi all! Just recently started messing around with level 10s. Pretty fun stuff, loving the gearing.

Is the Bramble staff still BiS for Brewmaster? Or is there an alternative since it got nerfed?
Also, I got the MW artifact but am not sure how to go about getting the BM artifact so any ideas would appreciated.

I can say at least that ability dmg is not based on weapon dmg/spd now. Ty though
[doublepost=1659382140,1659380121][/doublepost]After grabbing the cudgel of naralex did some dummy testing in 1 min intervals. Averaged 18.6 ele force procs for the 1.8s dagger and 20 procs for the 3.6s cudgel. However lost abt 100-150 melee dmg over that minute while only gaining about ~75 dmg from the ele force. Think imma stick with the dagger for now.
edit: after remembering to put on instant poison the ppm on the dagger seems to be above the mace.

Ele force is RPPM, not PPM, so its gonna be the same across all weapon speeds, affected only marginally by your haste.

Poisons have a 30% per strike to proc, meaning you get more poison procs with daggers because you get more strikes.

The strength of Cudgel is in its ability to improve PPM (think Crusader and Lifesteal) enchant proc rates and in its higher weapon dmg, which improves some abilities tooltip dmg. If you're using eleforce and (I assume) abilities arent the bulk of your damage but rather auto attacks, then you probably wont gain much from Cudgel.

 

[worldoftears]

abilities are a decent portion (20%~ per dung, with belt bomb being 35ish and melee/ele force sitting at 20-25% ea) but rogue abilities at least arent effected by a slower weapon. the poison seemed to cause ele force to proc more is wut i meant, instantly got a 35 ele force in a min test compared to the usual 18/20 when i put it on with daggers lol, prob just luck tho since its rppm ig. So BiS for ele force rogues is the poniard MH and a socket weap OH i would assume. tyvm for the information.

Ive been having fun replacing weapons....they are out there if you keep looking. Ive noticed some level 10 blues that seem to have higher dps like maybe the double barrel shotgun or maybe higher agility like the gunblade. We all have a few secrets too I believe .......... I also have trust issues . Welcome to the world of 10's though!

 

[Havagudwun]

When I went lookin to gear up my lvl 10 pally, I couldn't find anything that was better than my lvl 1 rogue twink's weps, at least for pure dmg/numbers.
For melee these are well above what you can proc solo or farming, barring the Hellscream heirlooms.
The knightly swords are the only ones I was able to have drop, and there's 3(?) versions of them between stat allocations.
Are these GF'd now?
