Gu 47 and Our Epic Weapons.

Malikor · 06-27-2008, 08:37 PM

So Aerilik made a post saying there was going to be some of the epic fabled/mythical weapons revamped in Gu 47.

-There was talk of the haste debuff/buff myth would change to casting speed for brigs.

Others were being discussed in the various WW class channels.

Anyone got any imputs or otherwise gossip to fill on on the effect of other Weapon's revamps?

Some of you are curious of the epic changes coming in GU47. Below is the list of preliminary changes that you will see with the update. As usual these are subject to change before the update goes live. Feel free to add in any constructive feedback you might have on the changes outlined below.

Wrath of Nature ( Fury )

Now gives out damage and heal amount bonuses
Mythical now improves healing and damage spells based upon a percentage of your wisdom and intelligence respectively. This has replaced the Savage Feast effect.

The Impact of the Sacrosanct ( Templar )

The proc effect should now last slightly longer
Added a bonus to reactives based on the templar’s wisdom

Cudgel of Obviation ( Mystic )

The mythical version’s Spirit Tap will only trigger by the mystic’s group members. Also the heal and power bonuses have been reduced.

Dream Scorcher( Defiler )

This now gives heal crit instead of spell crit.
Now grants bonuses to both spells and heals.
Proc should no longer drop when damage is taken

Penitent’s Absolution( Inquisitor )

Improved the Aftershock heal amount and also added a bonus to casting time and reuse time of heals
Penitent Protection will now allow 25% of the damage to go to the intended target. 20% of the incoming damage will then be split amongst fighters in the group. This should make this spell less of a tank killer but the caster must still pay careful attention to their tank.

Dragon’s Temper ( Berserker )

Mythical now grants improved hate gain
Changed the double attack bonus to melee critical chance.

The Truth of Marr ( Paladin )

The delay is now 6 seconds.
Added a damage proc to the weapon.
Should now give both spell and combat art damage bonuses

Sedition ( Shadowknight )

The delay is now 6 seconds.
Added a damage proc to the weapon.
Should now give both spell and combat art damage bonuses

Death’s Grip ( Warlock )

The dumbfire pet bonus has changed to improve the warlock’s critical damage by 10%.

Eye of the Siren ( Coercer )

Now gives a subjugation bonus
The mythical now removes the concentration cost of Possess Essence

Mirage Star ( Illusionist )

Now gives a subjugation bonus

Havoc, Blade of Treachery ( Brigand )

Instead of giving haste to the brigand the proc will now lower their casting time

Gorynn’s Fist ( Bruiser )

The proc will now give the bruiser an additional chance to critical melee attacks

Revitalized Vel`Arek ( Guardian )

The mythical proc will now only do 5% damage reduction.

Bah, what about some warden epic upgrade? i personally would like it to make the proc proc to the group instead of the warden only.

fucking gay.

everyone gets a boost guards get a nerf, lulz

firamas · 06-27-2008, 11:17 PM

everyone gets a boost? are you retarded? the mystic one received a HUGE nerf (granted it was due for some kind of change), and the brigand haste effect, while arguably not that great in a stacked raid group, is still better next to the horrendousness of cast speed.

let me say that again, CAST SPEED. for a ROGUE. with SAILWIND. chaining COMBAT ARTS that already have a cast+recov time of ~0.7sec on raids. unless it's close to a 100% cast speed bonus and they just intend to inflate brigand parses on 15 second trash mob pulls, that's fucking stupid. there were a myriad of other effects, even some pretty unique brigand-y ones (debuff centric) they could have given instead of 40% haste proc, but they chose possibly the least useful thing to a rogue.

i didnt read them all tbh, the guardian one stood out greatly however

Anap KaSplat · 06-27-2008, 11:23 PM

5% isn't going to make or break anything, tbh.

Judist · 06-27-2008, 11:26 PM

Could of been much MUCH worse, so most guard are fine w/ it.

Anap KaSplat · 06-27-2008, 11:26 PM

Exactly
