Also, you only need ONE noremove to avoid auto-disarm on whatever weapon you're using. Did you forget about Thar-Acacia? Sure they're wood and you can't forge but the hit/dam are okay, and when you're in a pinch - noremove vs not having noremove... being able to offhand a 10/10 weapon helps the other decent stat mainhand damage average.
Even offhanding a lightforge prog m
Forgeborn can be taken the level you get forge craft. The same strength forging at that level vs. hero. It's nuts. Being able to add another 4 damroll to two weapons (8 total) is a step toward my golden rule: DAMAGE IS KING!
Ideally you can enchant most weapons to 6/6, and forge them up to 10/10. Yup! +20/20 just in weapons! That would help you a ton more in PvP than sleeping to heal
Why are you coming into battles so handicapped?
Aura, stone skin, poppy, and bard anthem are all easy for you to get. Hoping for the holy mark to prog in PvP is not a strategy unless you're fighting mobs to make it prog before entering PvP.
I think it would have kicked way more butt.
Did you ever get forge born? There are a ton of weapon choices where enchant and forge give you a ton of damroll and you keep cursed weapons.
