like every LS i find has dmg perks on them. i don’t care if random drops in the open world are garbage but the new dungeons lifestaffs thats roll with a random perk are basically useless again:
while other classes can grind these dungeons for these random roll perk weapons healers never get anything good. what am i supposed to do with keen? it would be so much more fun to grind if these lifestaffs had blessed and refreshing move or blessed + weapon perk on them. (ls without blessed is useless anyway)
not me raging or anything, the new dungeon has 1 insane names LS and one thats pretty cool. just wondering how these perk pools come about because they dont make much sense to me.
I get that perks need to be random, but I agree with you, I feel like will of the ancients is still the best, but there’s only like 4 perka that are useful for a dedicated healer and that seems kinda lame. I wonder if they could add healing perks that provide warding against enemy types, like a castable version of wards. But then I think that would make dungeons stupidly easy so I guess idk what they could do… But I do wish we had more perks… lol
Honestly, it makes sense that they may want to keep BiS lifestaffs as very rare crafting or world drops.
I tried to come up with a solution as to why people who are experts at all the common algorithm and storage methods would choose to have all weapons, lifestaff included, share the same weight values for roll chances on perks. They could have very easily set multipliers that increased or decreased the likelihood of certain perks rolling, but they didn’t.
They’ve learned a lot through the live release, and I suspect that this decision stems off of how powerful lifestaffs are and how powerful they can be at their peak.
I run a Blessed, Purity of Light Staff, and I’m hitting people for over 11k heals when they’re inside a Sacred. It sucks that not everyone has access to that staff, because it’s game-changing. And probably why you don’t have a high probability of rolling it. I’ve seen plenty of blessed+purity+random shit perk staves for sale and Refreshing move not being on the staff won’t make or break your healing since you get 5% native cdr per light attack in the healer tree, but it sure is nice to have! I, personally am looking at replacing refreshing move, just to test out other options.
Maybe once lifestaff gets balanced a bit better, they’ll change the weighed values, and while I don’t think Keen or Vicious make sense and should be removed from the lifestaff table, I also think blessed, refreshing move, healer perk legendary staffs should have extremely rare drop rates.
We’re already spoiled with WOTA and Glowing Lifecrystal Staff being freebies, it was nice knowing there was an elusive Purity of Light staff out there.
