Ok I just got a really good nobleman's sword, with 61-90 damage! (screenshot
here)
I don't really care about the deathblow and elemental damage (and thank god I didn't get freeze on it), but I really like the high damage, and the life/mana bonus, and the fact that it has 3 sockets (or charm holes or whatever you call them). Not bad for a 1 handed sword, eh? I spent like a half an hour reloading until I got it, but it was definitely worth it!
