Are you happy with your Epic?

Vainamoinen · 02-15-2008, 12:11 PM

This poll is simply to gather numbers and see what the community, as a whole, thinks of their epics (both versions).

I don't want this to de-rail into a "which class has the best epic" or "what things need to be changed about our epic" sort of discussion/argument. I think that if we can just get some pure numbers together, it will be quite clear to the developers behind these weapons that they have missed the mark.

I've made it multiple choice so that both versions can be considered.

Please vote only once for EACH version.

You should need to have the mythical in order to vote.

Honestly if i were still a zerker i would like the new weapon. Its going to wtf pwn avatar fights and with them being on a fast timer, thats going to be what the majority (of someone who has this weapon) will be doing.

I think the regen to hate effect was a little lame, should be a focus for OW to change it into something else(group buff perhaps, or AE double attack), but besides that its pretty awesome.

1) I can't build that restriction into the poll;

2) I'm making sure both versions are considered here so that those who will obtain the fabled version and not upgrade will also have some say in this. Obviously, I would encourage those who will not have access to the mythical to not vote on it.

Skel, have you gone mad? Any zerker in their right mind would trade in the zerker epic for the guardian one in a heartbeat, possibly less. I mean, I don't even play any more and looking at the guardian one makes me orgasm while the zerker one makes me as flaccid as can be. It's an imbalance infinitely bigger than the guard/zerk EoF trees, the guard/zerk EoF set gear, and about on par with an Olympic gold medal winner and a quadruple amputee.

And I say this as the certified best brezerker Ziff (aka Giff) has ever grouped. And I have a picture of me killing Hoodhop in a duel around here somewhere...

Let's leave the comparisons to the zillion other threads already active. Just votes are fine.

Skel you should deffinately betray back to zerker.. You are right the mythical is "pretty awesome"

You are considered a good player Skel and if you are simply coming in here saying that ours is pretty good becuase you have some paranoid feeling that your godly mythical is so freaking uber that your hoping positive comments about our epic will save you from a nerf... Then fine by all means post away...

You know, I know, and everyone on the fucking planet knows that a weapon like this completely pwns us into sub par POS tanks....

Enough said..

Well he does have a point though. It is going to be leet sauce on avatar fights to GET the agro. Staying alive may be another story, but I'll use armor for that shit.

The 300% health regen stuff is a bit wacksauce though (but that's obvious to everyone)

Your weapon is a huge DPS increase while any buckler spec'c guard simplay gains defense. Call me crazy but i though there was one offensive tank, and one defensive and thats pretty much what these epics portray. If you think im trying to save my weapon from being nerfed, why dont you go back and look at the zerker epic i made when i was a zerker. It really isnt that far off what i asked for.

I will say you simply arent getting the mythical (for a very very long time) unless you're on the level of avatar killing, or untill they nerf VP. Thats what these weapons are designed for, and all avatars will be AE based. This is the thing people are overlooking and im sure in a month you will hear the zerkers that have it say how much it rapes on these fights.

Great it's good for that one instance.

It needs to be good for all fights not just a couple. I want an epic I can use all the time (not situational).

Very few zerk's will be in this situation killing avatars compared to the population as a whole. We don't need the rest betraying to guard or quiting. It's bad for the game in general and the guard class.

You mean the avatars that will spawn atleast several times a week and drop the best gear in the game? Boo fucking hoo your weapon owns for the hardest and most rewarding encounters in the game.
