Just to update y'all briefly, I think I have all the mastercrafted 70-80 weapons with stats, delays, and skill types laid out and created. I'm working with Fyreflyte's advice to create two new imbue effects to replace the current single proc effect. One is going to be very similar to the current direct damage proc and will probably be a preferred choice for fighters and scouts though potentially usable by everybody, and the other will benefit mages and priests, probably by boosting spell/heal crits. All weapons should be imbueable with either effect. These details still subject to change however! Once this is done I'll review the weapons with the rest of the mechanics team for a sanity check on balance and so on, and once everyone's OK with it I should be able to post more details.
Then the next step will be to scale the same weapons down for handcrafted and all the lower levels, working with Fyreflyte so they don't completely break some of the lower level loot reitemization he's currently looking at, and then I'll redo all the recipes, and then fix all the crafting writs which will break with these changes. Fun fun!
If all goes smoothly it may be possible to include with GU45, if not then I'll do my best to at least get some of the weapons on a test server merchant so they can be tested out in the mean time.
Thanks again for all the input from everyone.
