Pre-Searing Divine Symbol

Is there a reason why this Divine Symbol reward isn't mentioned in regards to low-hp builds? I would think that -20hp w/added energy and no req would be of help. Am I missing something?

It is a good item to have for a 55. When you die you will have 1hp, if you switch to that weapon instead of the -50 you will have 13hp and can tank alot more. It is mentioned in a few farming threads that it is good to have.

I think the reason it isn't worth mentioning is that they are a common drop across all campaigns. It's not a one shot deal like the -50 grim cesta quest reward.

Because the -50 Cesta does it better.

If you die because you are bad, then just remove the cesta, and use 33hp until your DP is gone.

This specific Divine Symbol is widely available? I thought it was only through the one Pre-Searing quest.

Divine Symbol
Energy +3
Health -20
Energy +12 (while Health is below 33%)
Armor +10 (while Health is below 33%)

That specific offhand is only available through that quest, however the stats are less than ideal for an alternate offhand. The -20 health mod is pretty easy to come by, and even if you don't meet the req for a regular +12 energy offhand you still get +6 energy, which is obviously better than 3. Also, since the only time this would be used is if the 55er had died once and is almost guaranteed another death if their health gets below 33%, the last two mods are useless.

In short, it's not mentioned because it's just not that good.

Thank you, Callista, for that complete explanation. I appreciate it.
