Shenlong's Relentless Assault

Shenlong's Relentless Assault is a legendary Fist Weapon from Shenlong's Noble Path item set. This weapon has slightly higher maximum damage than the other Fist in this weapon set, but still comes in a bit below the other top end one-handed weapons options.

The inherent bonus to Life on Hit is a valuable mod though, and a good DPS roll plus a socket on this item makes it very desirable, especially in the Hardcore economy.

Shenlong's Noble Path:

• Shenlong's Fist of Legend (Fist Weapon) (db)
• Shenlong's Relentless Assault (Fist Weapon) (db)

Set Bonuses:

With both weapons equipped:

• Increases Spirit Regeneration by 0.33 per Second
• +130 Dexterity
• Chance to hurl a ball of pure energy when attacking.

The "ball of pure energy" is mostly a visual treat, a glowing white orb that flies forward quickly and in a straight line, exploding upon impact with a monster or other solid object, or simply the air when it reaches its maximum range. (The behavior seems identical to the orb fired by the Hellfire Ring.) The damage is fairly negligible, when seen on Inferno difficulty.

Gallery

Many fans have criticized the in-game visuals of these items, as they resemble red-colored "Hulk Hands"[1][2] and like other legendary items, can not be dyed (not even green) as of v1.07. (Though they can be made invisible by Vanishing Dye.)
