Idiots. 3 dmg only vs. Emp? No. Shissar bane rolls over all damage including its own bane. This is 19/20 against the Emperor, or any other Shissar for that matter. For such a limited use, it's worth it.
Weapon with a higher base will always outdps a weapon with the same difference in max damage. You're trying to sound smart, but you're not doing a good job. Who cares about the base elem damage? Nobody.
High Priest drops this weapon. Seen it drop several times. Cursed drops the Render of Souls, which uses the same graphic and is a far better weapon than this.

Posted:Nov 14 2002 at 8:03 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Fire damage and bane damage are calculated with the atk value of a level 1 character. So while it is a 19/20 to a level 1, it's not a level 2 or anyone above that.
The shissar bane damage on this weapon also means that the Emporer will take full damage from it. He is immune to any weopon without shissar bane. Normally to kill him a guild spends months getting the components to equip all melee with such weapons. Got this last week, and got to try it out on Emp an hour or two later, was hitting him very nicely, both damage and proc.
No, Shissar bane on a weapon makes the full damage of the weapon count. For example, a weapon with 10 dmg and 5 Shissar Bane will have 15 damage, this weapon, since it has Bane DMG to Shissar, will have the full 19 (provideing SV Fire checks)
Only to shissar though...otherwise if the fire isn't resisted then it's 16/20. If fire's resisted but you whacking at shissar then it's also 16/20. Nice blade either way though.
