Kinda sweet but let's all say we want something to buff up one of our Swashy skill aka Inspiration, let's make it super better now that it doesn'T proc of DA. lol.

Seriously tho, the Devs will prolly take a loot at all those thread about what the people want as their class specific new Weap at lvl 80, So let's help them going in the right direction this time ;)

I'll just copy my weapon from the other Epic Weapon thread from a few weeks ago.

I'd like something like 1 hander 110 DR. 4.0 delay. With like a 1:6 spread. +10 Crit and a +25dps +25haste 10% proc. 90str 90agi 90sta 90int 7% chance to Cast Power/Health Sap of 300/300 health/power. Anything I'm missing? oh, and lemon scented.

I been thinking over this epic weapon a lot (ok maybe an hour) and I think we need to remember the most important thing in an epic weapon. It has to have staying power, but you can't be tied to using it forever due to one superior aspect.

We want to avoid a situation like the bard epic in EQ1. So it really can't just be a normal weapon with a proc or always on effect. Due to the teir system, it will be obsolete in T9 and that makes everyone sad.

What we need to focus on coming up with is a click effect. This will always be useful as long as the game is around. Long after we have our epic bagged in favor of something superior, we will still keep it around for the awesome click effect, sort of like the BP from Varsoon.

So I'm not going to stress out about the stats - I'm sure the designer has specific values and knows what a swash would want. No really need for input there. Most epic 1.5 and 2.0 in EQ1 had one click effect and one always on focus effect. I think it's a great idea to see something like that again.

Here's my idea for the weapon:

- Rapier or Sabre style
- Standard stats/hp/pow for fabled of that teir (or legendary for heroic epic)
- large amount of one or two of the following (or small amount of all): + crit, + double attack, + dps (this is left off the heroic epic)

Click Effect (instant cast, 10-20 second duration, 5-10 min recast - balanced by dev, IMO 20 seconds, 5 min recast)

+50 double attack chance
+50 attack speed
+50 chance to AE attack with hurricane
Each hit deals an additional 200-450 damage (maybe smaller damage and damage applied "to target encounter"?)
+5 or 10 hate gain (keep in line with bravado idea)

On termination applies Step into the Shadows, if not in defensive stance, next time you are struck by an enemy lower threat by 2500 and 2 hate positions. Lasts 10 seconds.

Then the permanent effect can be any number of things, I would vote for something like the Ring of the Four Winds, recast reducer.

Also I forgot, permanent 'effect' could also be a weapon proc (damage or debuff, or both), I would probably prefer that to the recast thing I mentioned. Lost my train of thought there at the end!

Wtb a sexy one hander, rapier would be cool, really long with a great partical effect. (pink pimp style!!!)

The way your swashy wears it too should be slightly different, maybe down the side of ur leg, no sticking out of the back like rapiers do atm.


Also put a proc on it something along the lines of when caster has a buckler equip' in the secondary slot they have a chance to double attack for 80% give or take ofc

I wouldn't mind a nice clicky effect on the weapon too. Something like 10 second immunity to all attacks on a 15 min delay or something would be kinda fun to play with.

Oh, I had also forgotten for stats for the weapon to make it +15 slash/pierce skills. There have already been some +9 pierce items and such so I've seen the +10 suggestions and that really isn't much of a diff from the other items out there. So, I thought +15 would be appropriate. Maybe even +20 would be even more appropriate.

Or, maybe they could give us the bonuses they have been giving ranged items and give us a 25% more chance to hit.

Whatever it is, aquireing it should make a difference. Up to this point, weapons have made a slight difference but nothing truely significant that made it the MUST have item. Lets get creative and ballsy and make a weapon that can seriously tip scales and get out of the habit of some of these weak and slightly variable stats on the current weapons.
