I started this thread to list pros and cons of the swash weapon only, and to provide a meaningful feedback to the devs.

What it turned into is beyond my control.

Not going into whether TS needs its hit % raised or rather the debuff should be placed on a NON-aa based ability BUT i do agree the effect should be changed from spells to ALL damage from the NPC should be reduced by 10% (spell and melee). That would be a pretty epic effect.

FYI: Also while 10% to combat art damage may not be alot it also should raise your +combat art damage cap.

really couldnt see any posts.


the proc on charm's isnt being affected by blessings/LoD.

Pinski

That's because they're "quiet" about it.

Of course it's not, it says "This spell can not be modified except by direct means."

I had an interesting story to tell about this, but I'm not really at liberty to say. Lets just say our devs are fucking clueless about dps

I don't even play a Swashbuckler ( haven't in ages ) but there are simple things they could change. Firstly, take off the AA enhancer. The Epics are class defining and while should have the ability to bring freshness to your AA specs, they shouldn't buff a certain AA spec as it does. Yes it's obvious all raid swashies use STR line for TS unless you run multiple rogues, but that doesn't mean they should give a bonus ( a very weak fucking bonus at that ) on the classes mythical weapon.

Scrap the fucking hate transfer, swashies have absolutely no problem with agro .. or should i say swashbucklers who know how to hit Swarthy when buffing and evades during fight.

The only decent thing on the weapon is the 10% increase of damage. That's a pure 10% dps increase, don't seehow you can complain much.


Ideas: When Equipped Insight (or En Garde ) becomes groupwide.
When Equipped: Chance to proc 1000 damage and 15% increase to all poison triggers for 15 seconds. 2 times a minute.

I honestly can't think of much more, but those are two that would be mythical.

It's not a pure 10% DPS increase. It's less than a 5% increase because 50% of our damage comes from autoattack, and more than 15% comes from poisons and avast ye, none of which will be affected by the epic.

Assassins stealth attack increase of 30% will be MUCH more beneficial to them since only 30% of their damage comes from auto-attack. (roughly) Not even mentioning the fact that their other effects are actually useful.

So much for even hoping to beat our assassin on a parse unless he dies.

I don't play a swash, but I do play a brigand and I think your effects are pretty much as bad as mine.

You can find my commentary for suggested improvements on the brigand mythical at:

Later on in that thread people bitched for a while about whose epic is worse (which really doesn't matter to me honestly), but anyway it prompted me to go ahead and make some suggestions for proper changes to your item. Those suggestions can be found at http://www.eq2flames.com/brigands/20...tml#post464137

Let me know what you think.
