Counts as all One Handed Melee Weapon Types
Varunastra is considered to be all one-handed melee weapon types: sword, axe, claw, dagger, and mace. There are two ways in which this impacts the game mechanics:

  1. Melee skills and support gems with weapon restrictions that include any one-handed melee weapon type can be used with Varunastra. Ground Slam inventory iconGround SlamGround SlamAttack, AoE, Slam, Melee

    , for example, can be used with Varunastra because it counts as a mace. Varanustra allows for otherwise impossible skill combinations on a one-handed setup, such as Earthquake inventory iconEarthquakeEarthquakeAttack, AoE, Duration, Slam, Melee

    . However, support gems with weapon type restrictions do not support active skills with incompatible weapon type restrictions of it's own.
  2. Bonuses with weapon restrictions that include any one-handed melee weapon type benefit Varunastra. This is especially relevant for passive skills that grant multiple bonuses, each restricted by different weapon types. For example, the cluster jewel with Added Small Passive Skills grant: Sword Attacks deal 12% increased Damage with Hits and Ailments and Added Small Passive Skills grant: Axe Attacks deal 12% increased Damage with Hits and Ailments will cause each passive node to give 24% increased damage total. However, this does not apply to effects where multiple weapon types are stated in the same effect, such as x% increased Physical Damage with Axes or Swords.
