Healers, Mages don’t get your hopes up.
After hearing about Mortal Power changing into Keenly Empowered I revisited the database to see how these weps look now.
No surprises that Dex, Str, are getting fresh BiS for free with the new patch while Mages and Healers are left to spend 300k+ for a similar piece. How is that fair AGS? What is the thought process behind alacritous haste? It’s complete wank.
Same response to your new thread in regards to dex:
"To be fair dex perks suck dong. Bow does not have 1 useful perk to put on equipment.
As a FS player you should be able to roll dex players for months now. You have a faster fire rate, bigger hitbox, no aim animation, you get animation cancels while ours have been patched out for months, and we get rooted after shots (for bow at least). Also your IG has been a crutch of a weapon that has been overtuned in OPR and wars for a long time.
Id argue that melee has better BIS gear and 10x better weapon perks and passives.
Getting 3 BIS drops as dex aint that impressive. Rapier still beats spear anyways in a dex vs dex matchup. Also due to the prevalence of resilient, creeping recurve is better than laz bow. I had to run genesis 26 times for it.
A better comparison is melee drops vs mage drops. Its not fair. Dex will be great 3v3 next patch tho"
The only dex drops I use are a bow, a head piece, and a ring. I dont feel its given me any significant advantage over mage in pvp. I paid 15-30k for every other piece.
I’d argue that having dong sucking weapon perks is actually a good thing, as long as they are balanced with that in mind.
It means you can capitalize on the free pvp armor coming out, whereas a build that is balanced using wep perks, like VG for example cannot use the new pvp armor as it doesn’t have the wep perks which are mandatory for the wep to viable…
I could be missing it but I havent seen any new dex drops that are going to improve my build.
The bow and ring drop I already have are great, and for the rest I require resilient, cooldown reduction, and shirking energy. I had to buy this all off the market, besides the head drop sinful glare.
Our weapon perks havent changed and are all completely worthless still. Between a light and medium set ive spent 100-200k for BIS, mostly all 2 perk.
A couple weapon drops could be nice tho, I dont think mages weapon drops stack up to Dex or STR.
None of these weapons are bis
Imo they’re all hot garbage, vicious is bad so guaranteed 2/3 perk item for each
Only burst assassins might be interested, but each weapon is missing thwarting or enchanted which is bis
It’s gonna be a nice come up for fresh 60’s though, which I think is the intent
Alacritous Punishment is a meme perk through and through (especially on a Life Staff at that), but fractured rend on the WH and GA is no better. I do not think there will be any competent players switching off of the Blackguard WH to use “Heft” in any sitch. And if that was not enough, the exclusivity of the perks for PvP makes these weapons defunct in PvE just as much as they are unwanted in PvP. Cool novelty I guess…
