WH secondary focus scaling

… should become a thing. Especially now when it turns out that GS will be STR/DEX leaving Focus tree neglected and without any weapon choices except VG and LF. Undeniably boring as fuck if you ask me and I am not even a healer and don’t even see a point in becoming one.
I would respec simply out of pure boredom after a week tops.

Dont even bother mentioning the rapier.
Its a tool for healers, not a weapon.

And again I am not saying that it should deal as much dmg as others (duh), hence the secondary part. However Focus needs weapons that if not damage can at least apply some proper debuffs and/or crowd control and WH happens to be already existing weapon in the game that provides both. Ta daa

Share your thoughts please.

It doesn’t need to scale with focus to apply debuffs and it would be better if they fix the amber gem(if its still broke). Also i doubt many healers would use it and it would just end up being a nerf to hammer.

Amber scaling is not broken, it’s tuned down intentionally.

I wouldn’t change the WH as is a good weapon, the minute it gets healers utility the forum outcry will be endless

I do agree with that. However adding that 65% secondary scaling may incentivise people to use it more and by extension add some build variety.

Same could be said about adding any other focus oriented weapon into the game. Its just not a valid argument at this pointnif you ask me. Bypasses the main point I am making here.

Why do you need WH to scale off of focus to use it? Surely you can’t be thinking about a build that both heals well AND does dmg? That would be ridiculous.

Secondary scaling wouldnt do that much dmg to begin with.

Str spear, Dex hatchet, and int rapier beg to differ.

If you go full secondary with these weapons they are not that threathening.

They absolutely are LOL

Nothing needs to scale off of focus right now.

Healers are fairly strong on offense as it is, when using their secondary weapon.

You can use the great sword the same way paladins are using SnS. Drop an amber gem into it.

why would you need a weapon you use to escape with a few debuffs to do a little extra damage? pointless

And those runeglass gems will also help

Well I guess we can agree to disagree. I play int rapier constantly and unless I go 150 dex it feels underwhelming in dps.

Amber gems are shite.

Runeglass gems?

Makes sense that you and everyone else complaining is crutching on that rapier. When you’ve got no talent, you run rapier.


The new hotness.

I agree that we need another weapon which scales with focus, but not necessarily WH. I would like to see a kind of instrument, mandoline i.e., that gives buffs(fortify, empower…) to the group and scales with focus and dex.

No need to get personal papi you only nake yourself look like a prick. I can hold my own and I almost never use that meta slave, busted grace tree so you can shush now.

Thats pretty cool and might actually help.
