Default Got a bad feeling about the epic

That it will be 2h

What makes me thinks this? since our one needs BBC to get started.

I really hope we get nice 1h and not 2h.

The devs have said that all epics will be 1H. That has been said time and time again on multiple forums.

Not to mention that but you can clearly see that val'aerk is a 1 hander when you get to the cave portion of the quest.

I never liked the idea of a weapon being defensive. This is our primary source of agro.... if we cant generate that then defense is pointless.

Aye, I agree with Skel. This weapon needs some sort of proc that generates good aggro whether that be a debuff or high damage. The block on Soulfire was nice but I generally don't use the weapon unless I'm tanking a really hard hitting mob like Overking (even then I'm still using a buckler for most of the fight).

Why not both? other weapons have crit + proc, I think anything less than block/parry + debuff/taunt proc is a disappointment. Guardians are a defensive themed class, anything less than a defensive themed proc is a letdown IMO.

There's a severe shortage of defensive oriented gear in the game already, outside of completely worthless heal/ward procs and other crap.

Because a defensive stat/proc would basicly substitute for another offensive stat/proc. My armor and shields can protect me, let the ONE thing that i do damage with, do even more damage please.

Default Re: Got a bad feeling about the epic

Well, by defensive themed proc I really don't mean it should increase defense. I am more looking for aggro generation, which is defensive in the sense that it isn't necessarily damage.

I'd like to see 4-5 block and a proc similar to the SK one, rather than 4 crit and some damage proc. There are enough weapons like that available already.

Default Re: Got a bad feeling about the epic

im still have a bad feeling about the epic... if you look at all the procs the other classes have... some are omfg and some... well not epic for sure... (imo that is) So all this talk about guards being overpowered (bullshit if you ask me) might give us a junk epic... first we had a junky lvl 80 CA... and even if it has use... its still junk... and the we have the stoneskin leggings that warrior got removed from.. So this is something im hoping for... and lets hope its something uber!! and it should be something with def/stoneskin something to protect yourself or your group! thats so much guard after all... but a Reinforcement proc on it wouldent be bad aswell!
