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:

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. With that in mind the most efficient wheels on the tree for Varunastra are Deadly Dilettante and By The Blade. It also opens up the possibility to combine desirable nodes for each weapon type, for example Soul Raker and Adder's Touch in the Shadow area or the various sword, axe and mace wheels in the Marauder area.

To make the most out of this weapon one has to carefully select the most beneficial nodes to compensate for the low base attack speed and critical strike chance. Using Varunastra with a regular skill tree that specializes in only one weapon type will usually result in a worse offense than with a respective decent rare weapon. With the right tree however it can outperform the damage offered by a rare weapons that is manyfold as valuable (depending on Varunastras own price) in the player driven economy. But since a lot of movement skills scale heavily with the local attack speed affix on a weapon, and Varunastra doesn't have one, speed will almost always suffer. Similarly critical hits will be inconsistent which may lead to less smooth gameplay if a build relies on them not only for damage but for other crit-related mechanics as well.
