How this ranking works
- Base physical DPS = average physical damage × attacks per second of the plain base: no quality, runes or modifiers.
- Implicit modifiers are shown under each name. Some trade damage for a downside, so read them before picking the top line.
- Level is the base's drop level, which is also the character level it requires.
- Runeforged versions are made at the Verisium Anvil (patch 0.5 league mechanic) and do not drop, so they are listed beside their base instead of ranked.
- Bases that only exist as a unique item are left out.
