+13 [[great sword]]
 
 
 
Doom brand - deals up to 10% (avg. 5%) of the defender's health in damage, weighted towards the average, which cannot be resisted by any means.<br>
 
[[Will]]+<br>
 
It has a 1% chance of [[silence|silencing]] you when hit (*Silence)<br>
 
[[Drain]]s the user on unequip (^Drain)
 
 
 
==Desirability==
 
The '''sword of the Doom Knight''' has a great enchantment level and brand, decent base type, and the Will+ is nice too. However, the *Silence is a massive downside - it can prevent you from using [[scroll]]s and [[god]] abilities when you most need them. The ^Drain also discourages you from unequipping it when you're in danger or need to escape. Therefore, it is often outclassed by a mundane [[triple sword]] of [[flaming]] or [[freezing]].
 
 
 
The Doom brand is unaffected by the damage of your hits, similar to [[electrocution]], [[pain]], etc., so your damage rating isn't as important as with other brands.
 
*Against some of the beefier late game enemies like [[orbs of fire]] and [[juggernaut]]s, Doom does an average of 10 damage per hit.
 
*Against [[iron golem]]s, an average of 20, and against [[Antaeus]], the healthiest enemy, it averages 45.
 
*Doom starts to outdamage electrocution at 70 real HP.
 
 
 
Overall, this weapon will outdamage regular two-handed swords and deals irresistible damage, but another weapon is often preferred to avoid *Silence.
 
 
 
==History==
 
*Prior to [[0.33]], the sword of the Doom Knight had -Cast, which prevented spellcasting entirely, instead of *Silence.
 
*The sword of the Doom Knight was re-added in [[0.32]] with a new brand.
 
*In [[0.19]], this great sword was removed. The old version had the [[pain brand]] and lacked ^Drain.
