Undead Slayer weapons w/undead slayer bonus damage trait

[Excretious]

The ones you can craft from the traveling merchant

I need to boost my damage numbers and thought this would be a good idea for farming Syleus abyss.

I don't want to wreck my current xbow if its totally not worth it. Internet is turning up 0 information on these weapons.

I don't see much of a downside as these weapons have pretty good normal stats/traits plus bonus vs undead.

The bonus damage isn't worth it since the resources in this game are given like a gacha game. You're better off investing into a piece of gear that can double as a PvP item. It's why most people recommend to just build the PvP-centric set because the PvE isn't challenging enough to warrant a PvE-centric set. You'll be able to participate in PvP or at least not hate yourself if it's a PvPvE (e.g., dominion) event. And let's say you only care about PvE, hitting stat breakpoints in STR, DEX, INT, or PER will get you better results, so you should just focus on those items. Syleus is more efficient in a group. Instead of damage, you provide support if your weapons allow or focus on tagging/grouping mobs. Hopefully, you get the drops to increase your power.

Still don't recommend, but I'd say to only do it as:
1) an experiment
2) your RNG is terrible (and I mean BAD) with drops
3) you don't know or intend on playing long, so you want the immediate powerboost for specifically Syleus
4) you can fully trait and upgrade it for the short while before you transfer the levels and blessing into a bis purple you know you will have soon

Great post Sylvers! I think all 4 of those examples might apply to the way I think.

Just wish someone ran the numbers and could definitively say "oh yea, I have this and thing SLAYS undead" lol
