I like to think of cheap ways to reach a high level and I think a mace samp might be one of the best ways to get everything you need and not break the bank.
I think the most budget friendly weapon combo is a black staff for whirl wind and a spear for armor ignore. Very solid base damage, excellent swing speed and the correct weapon special moves.
If I was trying to build a high level samp on a budget I would make a mace samp and add 3 leaches, slayer and hit area to NPC purchased and reforged staves.
Then I would use an npc spear with “use best weapon skill” imbued. 3 leeches, slayer and best weapon on a spear. (Reforge for elemental damage as needed)
You can get away with have no SSi on gear if you get 5 SSi from town bonus and only need 150 to swing max speed.
You could craft and imbue 3 armor pieces and use 3 cheap legendary. You can still reach max resists, max str, max hp and 100 damage from armor and swing at max speed.
You would be trading off one mod on your armor ignore weapon and you don’t get to use double strike or onslaught, but I bet this would cost maybe 30 mill total instead of 300.
Problem is that no one makes this stuff and sells it on a vendor. Even if you didn’t have a crafter, most guilds would have someone willing to help make this ruff.
Love to hear some other ideas or opinions.
