I have a question when is a mastery weapon better than a socket 3opt-SS10-speed-exc-wiz because a socket weapon costs about 1200b and a mastery weapon alone if you want to do an upgrade from Ada+ is a lot of ruud you have to make etc. cheaper will definitely come out of a socket because I want to buy a socket Orb upgrade+13 for Lemuria and add SS10 because Mastery weapon is not available to buy
It’s cheaper to use socketed weapon compare to mastery weapon but you will feel the difference between them when you reach soul mastery weapon and above. If you’re doing pvm with punish you will be fine with socketed weapon until probably when you reach abyss 1. PVP wise mastery weapon is better than socketed.
Thank you @kamilschirin5342. I'm on Jotunheim Sv. I taxi my Slayer since my build is PVP, but it can definitely solo with proper equipment, ASM and build (in my opinion it's on the same tier of renewed elf in regards of solo lv). Soloing from lv 400-900 can be a little tricky since you will be swapping stats build and skill on the way. Once you hit lv 901+ where you get a decent skill enhancement of pierce or inertia it should be a breeze as long as you have ASM and EE. Don't compare Slayer with Summoner and WW+Lemuria since they are pretty good in PVM. (Hopefully on Season 18 Part 3 Slayer can stand along with them.)
