My husband wants to know how this weapon is possible? cant even be imbued like that 140 fireball etc? he wants to also have one with 50 splintering lol
Imbuing can only go up to the normal item property caps e.g. 100 luck, +15 to a resist, 8 LMC and so on.
Reforging can exceed these caps (e.g. 150 luck, 10 LMC) and also give properties not available through imbuing (including Stygian Abyss properties like splintering weapon or reactive paralyse).
A few years ago they changed the loot system in Shame dungeon to drop magic items which have properties added more like reforged items. This was eventually rolled out worldwide so imbuing is relatively weak now, although sometimes useful for adding or increasing the one property that you *really must have*. That's why you'll often find people buying and selling 'legendary artifacts' in the trade section - if you're lucky enough to get one with complementary, high value properties, they are the most powerful items in the game, better than most traditional artifacts such as dropped by Doom gauntlet and Peerless mobs. With a few exceptions of course
