Shattered Onyx goes away, then. Sad

If there weren’t raid items, I’d look at them as “wear this until you get clouded Dreams”


I feel like that ring with Arcane Augmentation is better than Clouded Dreams. But I also have made very poor progress on KT Tongue

I love that their original concept of the super OP razerclaw iconic was so thoroughly panned by the PC that they came out with this pathetic, neutered version that’s underwhelming at best.

It’s like instead of dialing something back a bit, they took it as an insult and responded back with one.

Isn't that how they operate at ssg?

This preview is kind of meh. 2 to 3 good items? 3 raids worth of loot that no one wears. It's like they took the second preview and made it the same as the first preview but slightly different, yet equally unusable.

I don't think naming names would be a good thing for me to do, but I'd pretty much add anyone who's a know-it-all dick on the list.� Even if they are sometimes intelligent with their opinions, the way they state them in long, "i'm a lawyer at trial"-type posts makes me want to punch them in the face.� They act like whiney babies with god complexes and then freak out if someone so much as breathes criticism in their direction.

i Like the Falchion and the Magewright set the others are meh at best. Oh and the new filigree are better for Cha based paladins than the old ones.

If the raids are going to be no-flag on release I may try and get that ring.

K...I’ve looked at the loot lists for the eighth time now, and I’ve come to the conclusion that whoever designed this utter shit is either a head of lettuce or has been smoking one. 

I’ve seen better synergy from a turd and direct sunlight.


Agreed, Lynnabel is the guy (gal?) behind some of these low effort trolling attempt to the community. At this point I can only assume they use the same algorithm for random loot but with bigger numbers to justify the rarity.

Thats apparently exactly what they do.

And its an algorithm built into the engine based on MLs.

Like seriously wtf? Who makes a game like that?!

More importantly:


?????

Wtf uses devotion AND nulification, but then is looking for fire, poinson, and acid spell crit chances?

Makes no god damn sense.


I have to say that I actually like that. Because it works for Alchemists and self-healing types and it works for Pale Masters.

Please note that I don't necessarily think it's a good item. I just like that it offers both devotion and nullification for flexibility so that more builds can use it.

How good is devotion spellpower without crit chance, though? I run a lot of positive self-healing characters, and in general if the spell doesn't crit its not healing for an appreciable amount. Same goes for PMs - a PM needs Nultification AND crit chance, and probably finds both of those on the same item.

Glad you added that Tongue I agree on the versility aspect, I'm just not really sure where spell power but not crit chance has any use.

Aren’t these free epics if you own the original content? If so, then that’s why they suck.


Also Lyn said the dull dagger has some secret effect.

Well and the original content was just given away during the free questing coupon, so there's that.

I am however extremely psyched that they took out the quest flagging and are making oldschool alchemical crafting easier. Thwt will make for some fantastic ETR-twink gear.

I created a 20Paladin/10Epic and got the Dull Dagger from the newer loot guy. I equipped it in my main hand and all it got additionally was it was made "Good."

Note: I had not spent ANY of my APs nor did I allocate ANY of my ED points.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

My guess is you need to activate The Blood is the Life. But I'm too lazy to roll up a divine and check it myself. Do tell me your progress though.

THIS JUST MAKES EVEN MORE LESS SENSE!

Seriously, what build could possibly want both of these items together?

Or is there just A TON of shit I am missing about alchemists?


Spell boosts count as action boosts. Need more help flavor boy?

True, that's why we're supposedly getting new races with next update. Selling packs for 600 to 900 TP was too bland, races worth 1500 points are the new meta  Roll Eyes

They also have another expansion coming out, and that's really where all the big money is for them.
