never played eq1
still want an axe

Do you guys think they will reuse the rogue epics or come up with something new?

kyros

seriously, man... you could have been a little less hostlie, since my post was written neutrally. bad days aren't an excuse for lacking courtesy.

anyway, i obviously misunderstood what you were saying... and my bet is still on them making it a wield-shifter since that would be useful to all brigands in all walks of life. it would be incredibly biased and not in their best interest to make it anything less.

kyros

since the new expansion is going to come with a level cap increase, making the ancient teachings "out-dated" i suspect we'll see one of a few things happen with them.

1) they get upgraded
2) they become scaling abilities
3) new items (or achievements) are designed to increase their potency

if it's in #3, then perhaps we'll see an "enhance: dispatch" on the epic weapon that increases the dispatch debuff to like 4,500 - 5,000 or something.

Crazedmutha

A One-Hander that can morph to DW (mage godking weapon style) but maintain comparable stats and proc.

*Cough*NOFUCKINGCHANCE*COUGH*

Johnathon

It would also have to be adornable

But its not impossible..

In EQ1 the Warrior epic 1.0 split into 2 dw swords and then combined in a sheath into a 2 hander. ( i think thats how it goes.. MAY be a LITTLE off)

My concern is how they are going to release such a monumental quest series which for some classes will force them into taking an AA line (something which I hope they can resolve).

I can't see how they are going to create a DW that could be used with Wis line without giving the player massive double attack and two weapons at the same time.

Sturmhammer

the way it sounded to me was you get the weapon in legendary form at the start of the Epic quest. It gains power as you progress through the quest line. So my best guess would be perhaps you get a list of styles to chose from for your weapon as it upgrades or maybe, as someone said earlier, it will be similar to the wurmslayer with its type switching.

Meesh

Based on my (possibly faulty) interpretation of what the devs said about the AA changes they will be making, I do think it is POSSIBLE they will change how our wisdom double attack line works when they do this revamp along with removing sword dagger rapier type requirements. Have to wait and see. I have a feeling a number of classes' current achievement setups are going to get hosed by these changes.

Izzdar

It isn't just are class. Wizards go 1 hander secondary empty aswell. So they can use freehand sorcery. I don't beleive they will revamp the aa's so we can have a secondary that will be to overpowering. But thats the point. sacrafice a wep/sheild for double attack. Just like wizzies sacrafice a symbol for a %increase to a spells damage.

I don't think they will make you chose a style befor we even begin the quest because frankly soe has a balancing problem and one weapon will most likely be far superior to the other.

I think a wurmslayer/ Godking type transformation will be the best option no only for us but for many other classes.

Apollodon

I was talking it over with a friend zerker of mine
and he see's it as a way for soe to come in and nerf the hell out of zerker sta line, it is still overpowered to some people

As wizs go they can get other items the increase spell damage by a % from item procs now so a lot of them are switching to crit builds over freehand

its funny that alot of eof items have KoS aa effects on them
double attack
% increase to base damage

I cant find the post where the dev was bashing items that could change forms
i could only find where the dev talked about adornments

I hope they dont make it change forums because those items always suck vs other fabled
I agree constested loot should be better than quested
but i think quested epic loot should be better the 80% of the instance, where the instance that is better is rare drop
