Kingslayer

Description

Despite being not as popular as Grief / Beast / BotD weaponry, Kingslayer is strong and reliable choice. All bonuses complement each other surprisingly well, allowing the comfortable gameplay for its wielder (most likely a barbarian or shifter druid) even in hell difficulty. Decent speed, and solid crushing blow, supported by prevent healing and open wounds, keeps the weapon viable no matter how thick the enemies are.

Overall - Kingslayer is a fair example of underrated, yet very effective weapon, well worthy of its rune cost.

The +1

Vengeance featured on this weapon is an oskill, meaning it can be used by members of any class. This can make Kingslayer an interesting option for circumventing Physical immunities which might otherwise impede a melee character.

It's a good weapon but the runes requeired are relatively high. Usually overshadowed by Death, Grief and Breath of the Dying. It's possible to get excelent weapons by trading instead of spending the mid/high runes.

Useful for Melee

Uber Tristram builds if you don't have another source of Open Wounds (such as Dracs or Gore Riders), and the crushing blow definitely helps too. Even then still not a bad choice.

I've soloed

Uber Tristram with

Frenzy Barb using Grief+Kingslayer several times (no Gore Riders or Dracs) and it works well, particularly against

Uber Mephisto where it is preferable to use Chains of Honor + Tgods (to maintain resists + lightning absorb) rather than Duress + Blood crafted

Belt while still maintaining a source of Open Wounds and decent amount of Crushing Blow.

This weapon has its name for good reason. Most values are useful against the biggest targets in the game like Ubers and Dclone.

The speed is OK, even if not massive. The same applies to the enhanced damage. -25% Target Defense applies to all enemies, where as Ignore Target's Defense f.e. doesn't work on bosses. 20% bonus to attack rating is OK, flat attack rating would be nicer. Crushing blow helps to chew through the biggest life pools and Open wounds helps also against Ubers and Dclone, where Prevent Monster Heal has no effect.

Overall a decent choice for meele characters against big bosses. It's easy to reach 100% Crushing Blow and a very high Open Wounds percentage with this weapon. I use it on my

Gold find

Berserk Barbarian as a secondary gear choice to kill Dclone if he spawns on the

Gold runs.
