	Hi, I am Tere, and I am a noob about CITW weapons. What are you picking for yours? I can manage Antipode for monk builds, and Sireth for stick builds and Pinion for Pew Pews, but what would you take for straight TWF DPS - Celestia? Similarly, THF, Cleaver?

	For TWF Builds: Before U20...Nightmare. After U20...Celestia or Balizarde. If I already had a Celestia, I'd take another. If I didn't already have Celestia, I'd take Balizarde. If I already had a Balizarde, I'd take a Celestia. For THF Builds, definitely take Cleaver.

	Antipode sucks. Just no. THF cleaver, TWF Celestia/balizarde/that hammer, if you're after flavour, Ranged pinion (ofc). Just never antipodal wraps.

	Take Celestia now, and 2nd Celestia when they give everyone another box next patch. https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/430328-Raider-s-Reward-Box-Delivery-Is...

	I took twilight for my wizards/sorcs. Some might say this is obvious to take twilight but a guildy recommended new players in our guild not to take twilight for their wizards/sorcs. That's why I wanted to point out that I still like it, especially on under geared toons just in case there are more playings which recommend not to take twilight. Twilight is not a weapon for maxed out stats anymore but it's still a very nice all-round caster stick and good enough to reach level 30, if you don't care much about doing EEs for leveling in offdestinies.

I took twilight for my sorc because the +120 Force will synergize nicely with Eldritch Knight.

	Stick build finally got his stick. Sorc is getting Balizarde. Dorf is getting Celestias (got Pinion, Sireth, Cleaver, 'Podes already) Bankmule got Cleaver.

	I don't know what to pick for my monk that uses nothing but handwraps. Fuck Antipode.

	Rogue will either get a Pinion or a second Balizarde (only for the option of moving away from pure rogue), as she has dual agony. Stick guy got a Sireth AA will get Sireth (has Pinion, antipode and dual Celestia already) - I see some use of this on a monk-based AA if I can't fit in TWF feats. Dwarf got Cleaver Shiradi Caster will get Balizarde, has Twilight already

	Personally I'm probably going to just choose whatever I fancy, and HTR the toons into a build to take advantage. I have very few toons with highly-specific BtC gear anyway. My Whirly Bird will get a Sireth, as will my (currently) tactics-build WF melee. Dwarf eAGA-wielding Kensai will get a Cleaver. The one toon I'm not at all sure about is my main; he's going to end up as a melee/caster hybrid light-splashed Druid and I really don't know which is the best choice.

	My rogue took the 5 comms. My TR'd sorc will probably take the Twilight, and I'm not sure yet for my fvs.

	eSOS kensai already has a cleaver, sireth and that falchion. Maybe comms? Or a pinion. khopesh kensai was gonna be TRd into an axe dwarf. Might take a cleaver, or might make him a dwarf hammer guy and take the hammer instead. acrobat (who didn't get a box) is gonna take Sireth when they release the second round of boxes. druid has a twilight and a sireth already, I guess he will take comms. fvs has a twilight, sireth, two tinahs (lol) and falchion. She will likely take comms. My ranger has 2 of every one handed weapon already, a pinion, a repeater and all the thf weapons sans twilight. I guess comms, but he doesn't need them. Maybe a second pinion with good slotted. Rogue has 2x celestia, 2 x agony, 2x nightmare, 2x tinah (lol again) and 2x balizarde already, probably pinion for him Wizard will likely take twilight, but I might grab an agony or other one hander so I can offhand a caster stick and still get the planar conflux bonus. sorc is in the same boat as the wizard. bard will take balizarde. I think she has a sireth and possibly a balizarde. Haven't played her in ages so i can't recall. monk has antipodes and a celestia (i think) so maybe a second celestia. I have a weird wizard cleric build that I forgot what I was doing with. I'll have to try to remember and decide then. my crafter arti who has not moved since she hit level 20 will take the repeater, just because why not?

	I have a Falchion Kensai but Cleaver seems to be better than Breach. That's something I have to think about. Then I wonder, if Twilight still worth it. So you get Necro/Evo Focus IV weapons on lvl23 1-handed generic loot now? Cause some people say Twilight was outdated. Hmm, the number of good 1-handed melee weapons also makes for some tough decisions. Considering, I plan on TRing a lot in the future, since it's become easier and the 20-28 grind seems not worth it so much.

	You can get +5 DC/144 spell power on a one hander. Twilight is good for lazy people and non ultimate min/maxers. Mostly the lazy and the "good enough"ers

	My S&B fighter took a Nightmare, will take a Pinion on the next go around. My Assassin took a Needle, (Already had an agony and uses just Daggers) My THF took a Cleaver, will take a Pinion on the next go around. My level 9 Arti took a needle. My Clonk that I almost never play took antipodes My Ranger took a Pinion, will take Celestia next time. My Acrobat Rogue took a Needle My Bard, still undecided, probably the Balizarde, maybe a Pinion next time. My FVS took Twilight My 6 Bank Toons, undecided.

Mostly the lazy and the "good enough"ers Yeah, but on lvl25+ if your lucky? Need the right spellpower on the right stick, too. And I have one caster on Wayfinder, even getting good generic loot is a challenge there. So I'd say it's still a good set (with planar bonus) from lvl23-26 maybe. Or not?

It's great if you don't find yourself awash in good caster sticks. Also a great base to build off while chasing the more elusive caster sticks. It's still a solid choice, just not best-in-slot anymore. And with augment spell power going up to 138 (I think) you can get a +4 DC w/red slot and a secondary spell power fairly easily. As long as you're not on wayfinder.

	I was saying in guild chat that I wish I had gotten my tr'ed casters through VoN so they could grab a twilight. Well I guess they just got lucky� All my others grabbed either a Cleaver, Balizarde, Needle or Pinion. Well except my monk which did grab Antipodes.

	My Wizard and Monk will be taking Commendations. They're BtC, but you know that we'll be able to move them from one character to another even if we might potentially have to wait for a new flavor of bug to allow that. TWF Kensai is switching to a TWF Hammer Kensai because 2 hammers = happy fighter. FvS is taking the Quarterstaff because he might TR away from WF someday. Barbarian and Bard are both taking the big Axe. Tempest Ranger took the Pinion.
