Not an inferno - a flaming sword.

You can pick them up at your local haunted house

Fire is not a good type EVERYONE has fire resistance.

Oh geez I just assmued you meant inferno! lol
Well heres the plan. I purchased an ice sword ogma +9 for a great price today (thank you maroku). I'm going to prep it 10 slots and drop 8 IWDs on it, unless i need to lower its weapon weight. Then I'm going to EA my bomy helm to +12 (via advice from draenin, thank you again) and probably glitch its GFX because its really ugly in my opinion. And I should have very good damage after that. Critique?

What about your WC? If you are only level 18 and on a tight budget (No +12 marks?) You might want to consider putting a couple EWs into your weapon so that your damage actually matters.

with the ice sword equipped unprepped (just the +9 ogma) im at -15 wc. Do IWD's increase WC as well? Or do I do that solely based on the enchantment? I use havoks with a +2 WC right now (theyre clean, ya I know...I'm a nub lol). Will the +12 marks make that much of a difference? Also, whats the going price on marks?

[Draenin]

Go make some Gloves of Marksmanship +12 and start levelling phys a lot. That will raise your WC. IWDs you should keep on your weapon rather than EWs, since you'll do a lot of damage if you can break your enemy's AC with the WC you accumulate from certain stuff.

[CidNight1142]

Are marks considerably better then havoks? For example, will i get more wc for EAing my havoks? or should I just drop the 100 dias for the marks

[Draenin]

Go for the Marks. With Havoks, you get a maximum of +14 WC, while marks get a max of +16 WC.

How much WC do you need to break someone with like -60 AC?

Around -50 or -55. But it isn't easy.

*EDIT* Wouldn't a Leuc blessing on a non-elemental weapon solve the problem?

[CidNight1142]

I suppose it might, but then you lose the option to get the poisoning abilities of ogma.
