havent read anything but the OP post, but wanted to make sure you understood the term INLFLATION is when the things people purchase BECOME MORE EXPENSIVE, relative to a prior period, etc.
And if market prices have become much cheaper, then its the opposite of INFLATION (smh that i have to explain this), so DEFLATION, which was much needed in NW, with those 1M-2M BIS prices that we had before.
Back to my cave now.
a million times this ^ best summarization of the situation
keen becomes not bis on a great axe is if someone has full resilient + 150 con
So you admit keen is not BiS. Because every serious PvPer has Resil + 200 con.
And whenever i type “bis hammer” in the dry tree server + new world global trading server every single one has thwarting strikes
Because of kids like you who call everything “BiS” without knowing what it means. I can also see people selling keen-plagued warhammers and calling them “BiS.”
wheres ur proof or explanation on how a bow spear player can beat a good hatchet spear player
How is one supposed to prove that a bow player can beat a melee player? It’s common knowledge. Try landing your shots for starters.
You’re just making a fool out of yourself. No-name arena bow player who doesn’t get invited to wars, but thinks his incorrect opinions about meta and perks matters. Lol.
I don’t necessarily think so. System improvements are system improvements. It was a players decision to play then and engage in underwhelming systems. That shouldn’t be a reason to not push the system in a direction that’s better for everyone else.
Also - the reward for vet players is that they will have more competently geared players to play with. That should be the ideal state of the game for both PvE and PvP.
I was one of those people and the slap in the face was that I wasted millions of coin on material to not even have sets to equip myself much less have spare to sell.
The old system was terrible - I value my time - wasting months of play sessions.
I want time to work out, go outside, have quality time with loved ones, socialize IRL, play games including other ones, sleep, work, etc. You know - enjoy a balanced lifestyle.
Balancing MMOs around no-lifers isn’t catering to the majority of their audience, especially now that gamers from the 90s have grown up.
literally the next thing i said is “so basically never” because no one runs 5 resil So no i dont admit anything, keen is bis on a great axe. Especially with the heal on crit perk.
And yea everyone is a kid who doesnt know what bis is including people who own the biggest and cringiest shell companies on the game mhm. Great logic bro. Youre above us all, only you know what bis is.
Why do you keep insisting on calling it a “melee player”? there are multiple melee weapons in the game but the ones im talking about are hatchet and spear. 
Ngl everything you say SCREAMS youre bad at the game. And you try to compensate by acting like you know better. Sad asf send some povs id love to see how bad u are
Many people in this thread corrected you on what BiS is. You just don’t want to accept being wrong.
keen is bis on a great axe. Especially with the heal on crit perk.
This line alone proves you know nothing about wars. Melee BiS is solely from a DPS perspective. You have a group healer for a reason.
No PvP company has their melee take a DPS hit in exchange for some useless lifesteal.
Sorry, but you are objectively incorrect. Spam some more emojis to show how totally not-upset you are, little buddy.
Hey @Prasinos333 thanks so much for crediting me 
far too few ppl praise or give credit these days and I just want you to know that I appreciate it

if crafting getting easier next tier on the way. like 6 perk items.
Prices on Dry Tree are a lot lower than anything you will see on US West for upper tier items. That being said, there is no way that someone is offering 1.9m for a Maelstrom axe with Chain anything. Those things top out at around 1.4m if the other two perks are some combo of Attunement (non-flame version), Thwarting Strikes and Refreshing Move.
And the only amulet that sells for 500k anywhere is Slash Protection, Health and Stamina Recovery. Literally every other combination tops out at less than half of that. When you said “double ward”, I’m assuming you meant Refreshing Ward and some form of Slash/Fire/Ice Protection. Still isn’t selling for anywhere near 500k. A Heavy bruiser stacking Ref Ward might pay 200-250k, but that’s all.
People lie about c/os in trade chat all the time. You can’t assume because someone says it that it is actually a legit offer. If you want to see what things actually sell for, check the global trade discords.
Your GA hasn’t been BiS since the new patch. People have crafted a lot of those recently, and they are still selling, but they are basically 3rd tier now, at best. Items that are better and sell for more are:
Back when Attunement was a Proc instead of Elemental label, your Keen, Refreshing Move, Thwarting Strikes was BiS, but only because there was literally no other desirable perk there. They hadn’t buffed weapon perks on the weapon yet, so people didn’t really want Maelstrom or Whirlwind. Some wanted Gravity Well because finding armor with the perk was (and still is) stupid expensive. And there still isn’t really a consensus about chain (some like it, I think it’s only for stat padders) and shirking (again, some like it, but others think it is too hard to proc, since you have to dodge through an attack to make it work). And both Chain and Shirking got big buffs in the last patch, making them more desirable.
Also, Keen is, at this point, pretty universally acknowledged as a dead perk on GA, because there are any number of better options for that third slot, unlike before. It’s better than a 2 perk, but that’s about it.
Correct, by double ward I mean moonstone plus slash protection, which I’ve also seen sell for 300-500k.
Axe was Chain ice, refreshing move, thwarting, not enfeebling. Autocorrect changes “rm” to “em” for some reason.
You’re talking to a brick wall here. This kid is a non-war bow player but is thoroughly convinced keen GA lifesteal is BiS. For some reason.
Ah- that axe. I’ve heard stories about it. Pretty sure that guy is faking the offer as it’s from “a guy in his company”, so he can’t share screenshots proving the offer. Faking offers is a bannable offense in the global discords where most of these BiS items trade. That being said, I could MAYBE see someone paying 1m for that, since the chain ice would benefit from the Ultimate Chill perk, even if I personally think chain is stupid.
And yeah- 20% Slash Protection seems to be meta these days. So a Slash Protection Moonstone amulet gets you 15% by itself. 1 more moonstone or 2 onyx, and you’re there. If you go the Onyx route, you’ve got 5 more slots. Add a Thrust gem, 2 Rubies and 2 opals and you’re at 20% slash, 10% Thrust, 5% Strike, 17% Flame and 5% for all other elemental.
Of course, if that Moonstone amulet was an onyx, you could replace the thrust gem with another Onyx and get 20/10/10 with the same 17% flame, 5% other elemental stuff.
I’m currently running a Flame protection amulet, because I’m budget conscious, so I lose out on 2% Flame Protection, since elemental gems give 6% resistance and every physical gems give 5%.
Flame Protect amulet + 2 Opal + 2 Moonstone + 4 onyx = 20% Slash, 10% Strike/Thrust, 15% Fire, 5% other elemental.
I just wanted to see more emojis
LMAO. Smashing that emoji button like it owes him money.
And yeah could be fake offer, just the first one I saw vs the claim a BiS GA tops out at 400k.
With the double prot ammys a fun trick is to hyper specialize using them w/ gemmed armor sets. If you swap sets depending on who you’re fighting, like in arena, it feels like cheating.
50% resist + some fort or weaken and autos will hit you for like 300dmg. Of course you have to be careful as any other weapon type will blow you up, and compensate with oakflesh/dust, but against bruisers, double thrust builds, or pure mages, you’re basically a tank even in light armor.
This actually sounds kinda funny. I guess if you do the gear cheap enough, I could see it working well for arena (which I currently avoid like the plague it is). I’d hate to try building a BiS set for Slash, Thrust, Ice and Fire. But doing something like Resil + Physical or Elemental Aversion on each piece could work. The amulets would obviously be the most expensive parts. And depending on how many Champion’s Rings you have (I just got my 2nd today), those could be expensive too.
Exactly, resil + aversion is dirt cheap and you can usually find some with third perk refreshing or freedom for a good price.
Not having BiS barely matters when you counter that hard, and it’s hilarious being able to face tank great axes or ignore ice storms.
Do you differentiate between thrust and slash with Physical aversion? Since the perk doesn’t seem like it would help with slash.
Yep. Thrust gemmed PA gear with some purifying jewelry to deal with bleeds, poisons, and slows make it great against dex.
Mix of ruby and aquamarines with EA vs mages.
Full moonstones for bruisers. Since you don’t need any specific perks for that I just gem my BiS set with them and add a slash moonstone amulet.
