Famed Rusty cleaver question

[Hades Dragon]

What am I looking for in stat wise when looking at it? I am farming the icy cave to try to get a good famed weapon since this run all given me shields, I'm drowning in shields. I'm guessing close to max rolled damage and -3 stamina is what I should be shooting for right?

Another question is it seems it only rolls 2 stats on the weapon, anybody knows if this is true?

High base damage and high armor ignore are S tier for any 2H weapon IMO

In general base damage is best, armor ignore is second best. For 2h cleaver in particular -3 fatigue is quite good because it swings twice a turn, but if your bro have enough fatigue then you'd rather have the damage/ignore.

It always rolls 2 random stats, plus guaranteed extra durability.

Thank you, I was wondering if it was always 2 stats that are modified with random durability attached to it. I'm going to opt for the highest damage I can roll and hopefully get good pen, or just roll with -3 stam usage for a good Cultist brother to tackle endgame locations

The durability of rare weapons is always random and usually higher (sometimes very significantly), but it can actually be a bit lower (which is a bit of a bugger with rare ancient dead items - e.g. a bladed pike with 29 durability).

With rare 2H weapons, you really can't go wrong with raw damage, ignore damage or -2/-3 fatigue per turn (-1 fatigue per turn is underwhelming, except on 1H spears or swords).

Just hope you don't get a rare rusty cleaver with a -14 fatigue cost and 23 shield damage (not even enough to 1-shot a raider's round shield).

I opted for a 79-101 with 44 armor pen and 54 durability 2 handed cleaver
