Etherian Goblin Banner vs Sleepy Octopod
The verdict
Etherian Goblin Banner and Sleepy Octopod land on the same 104.0 DPS on paper, so the choice comes down to reach, playstyle and which weapon fits your accessories.
Etherian Goblin Banner swings faster at a 27-tick use time versus 30, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.
Both are Melee weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
