I got my hands on this weapon today but I see it only has 3 aug slots and no extra planar dmg. Can the VT weapons be upgraded like the dsk3 weapons?
Its hard to consider replacing my HoH evolved sword with this.

Firstly, I'm > 90% sure that +1hs damage is treated like damage bonus. Your melee hit is calculated, bonuses and modifiers and all, and THEN the +35 1HS damage is added with no mods applied. It is the melee equivalent of +Spell DMG, which is again icing damage on top of the cake. If you swing for 3000 dmg, the +35 will bring it to precisely 3035.
Secondly,
Full descriptions for worn2 effects are coming with the next magelo update. But for now, this particular effect....
Worn2: Using this weapon against your foes calls down the powers of Luclin upon their souls. This power will sometimes cause your opponent to take additional magical damage.
My understanding of Worn2 effects is that they act like a an additional buff bar of effects that never go away. A permanent Ferocity and Dodge buff, and this would then be a permanent melee proc buff. If that holds true, that means this worn2 proc affects both weapons. I'll need one of the other devs to confirm that, but I'm fairly confident in that understanding. Let's call it 70% confidence.
Assuming that is correct, the VT sword has a superior innate proc and a worn2 effect that acts as 2 procs for dual wielding classes. While I believe the sword to be better than you think it is, I also think you make several valid points in its shortcomings. I'll talk it over with the other devs. Thanks, sir
