Bul-Kathos' Children is designed for a Barbarian, with two swords that must be dual-wielded. Neither of the swords by themselves are all that special, but when wielded together to receive the set bonus, they become quite potent, with an additional +200% damage against both undead and demon-class monsters.

Background

Bul-Kathos was one of the Naphalim, and the first great king of the Barbarians. If these swords were the weapons that he himself used when he was alive perhaps their high strength requirement can be explained since he was literally a giant.

Sometimes Barbarians also call themselves "The Children of Bul-Kathos", but whether this shared name implies anything is unknown.

General Notes

Bul-Kathos' Children is designed for a Barbarian, with two swords that must be dual-wielded. Neither of the swords by themselves are all that special, but when wielded together to receive the set bonus, they become quite potent, with an additional +200% damage against both undead and demon-class monsters. It is an expansion only set item.

  • Item level (ilvl): Used in many in-game calculations. Monsters must be of this level to drop the item.
  • Character level (clvl): The character level you need to be to be able to wear or equip the item.
  • Hidden bonuses stack together. For instance, if an item has a bonus for two items and a bonus for three items, and three items are worn, both the bonus for two items and for three items will become active.
  • It is possible to gamble Set and Unique items in v1.09+. The odds are roughly 1/1000 for Set items and 1/2000 for Unique items.
  • Items with Rarity are expressed as a chance out of 1000. IE 78/1000 would mean that out of every 1000 set items of that base item that drop, 78 of them will be this particular one.

Weapon Notes

  • Damage Bonus: This determines how you multiply the item damage by your stats to reach the actual damage. Multiply by the listed value per 100 points in that stat. All bows are 100 Dex, almost all melee weapons are 100 Str, most throwing weapons are 50/50.
  • Weapon Speed: A relative comparison to other weapons of the same type. 0 is the base -10, -20, etc is faster, 10, 20, etc is slower, always in increments of 10. Each 10 is equivalent to an SIAS item. Previously items were listed with WSM modified by IAS on the items, we have revised this to show the Weapons base speed (WSM) before ANY IAS.
  • Range: Relevant to melee weapons only. From 1 (least) to 5 (most) in D2X. Numbers are fixed across item classes: a 3 javelin = a 3 sword = a 3 hammer, etc.

Armor Notes

This is an Expansion-only Item Set.

* Note that although there are no class specific items in this set, only a barbarian can complete it due to his innate Dual-Wielding ability allowing him to use two two-handed swords at once. 2H damage is still listed for Bul-Kathos' Sacred Charge, as you may wish to use it 2-handedly.
