I'v checked the AH pretty much everyday for months now ( past 4 or so ) looking for a pair of these, i see alot of improved cursespewers out there, but never any regular, has anyone seen these drop in the past few months?

Could have sworn i had a pair a very long time ago, but i havent seen another in forever, also, if you do have one to spare, call a price, i'm on thelanis server.

Not trying to make fun or anything, but why spend "months" looking for an item that is marginally useful at low level, when you could have capped your toon by now, or at the very least raised a few levels to use the improved cursespewing?

Nah, you arnt trying to make "fun", you're trying to be condescending.

I have a few capped characters and my character was capped before i started looking for the handwraps i posted about, and in those months i'v capped, TR'd, capped and TR'd again. I know full well the limitations of the item i am looking for ( you however do not ) and if you genuinely want to know what they are or what use i might have for them, try asking while "not trying to make fun".

I assume you have no knowledge in regards to what i asked about ( or you would have posted it ), thanks for the bump, please dont try to derail the thread again, g'day.

im sorry but i have to disagree with you. even as a twink/tr item it is useless in this game. so please tell us what you will use them for instead of being super vague and ****y over someone who seriously was trying "not to make fun".

Now that i think about it, i've actually never seen a pair of cursespewing handwraps before(Might be due to me having played DDO for only a year)

Nope he was not helping him at all to the OP, yes he did inquire why but in a descending know it all kind of way.
It's the same as if I asked you how to drive to place X, and you tell me don't go there it's a dump. Then you never bother to give directions.
Why not give him a little credit of maybe already knowing what cursespewing handwraps do and just answer him if you know what asked in the OP.
And if you really want to know why he wants the hand wraps, just ask before concluding for him.

And you know what, now you got me intrested, what use/intrest do you have in cursespewing at that level?

Good analogy, ( and grasp of the english language) which is why i didnt bother to respond to hoko.

I never specified a level for wanting them, just spouted some of my experience to show the person thinking he knew it all that he's talking to someone with a clue and probably knows more than he does. Dont really care what level wraps they are, more interested in if they do infact exist or not.

I just cant seem to recall for certain ever seeing them drop, and havent for sure in many months, from my drops nor auction house, i'm almost convinced they do not drop and would like to bug report it, just wanted confirmation that they do/do not drop, and if they do drop ( just not for me ) i would like a pair.

Reason for wanting, the cow did some tests a while back on imp curse/cursespewing and found that they stacked in pvp, i'd like to test if they do in pve, if so, -8 to hit and saves could come in handy here and there.

It's great to have people like that to improve the game.

Um... lol. How are you going to use two hand wraps at once to test this? Guess your going to switch between them with out the others effect wearing out first?
Ok, I know I'm just joshing your plot and it's that's about can it be done. But it's funny situation.

Considering normal Cursespewing came before handwraps did (and Improved Cursespewing came after) I'm not entirely surprised that the normal Cursespewing property could be missing on handwraps.

From what I can tell, it stacks on standard critters.

I know on a few true reincarnate builds I would do this on Barnzidu (A New Invasion, Normal) and other select bosses. He has ~48 to-hit and innate True Seeing, so Displacement doesn't help. A large of the battle for me at times is hoppin' around, drinking Repair Serious Damage potions before I unleash another 12 second flurry. Being Barnzidu has Fast Healing (50) this does present an inefficiency if I have to take ~30 seconds to heal up again. However, between 10 points of Strength Damage, Waves of Exhaustion, Strength Sapping, and a Curse or two (often from a Cloak of Chaotic Curses for this fight and from an Cursespewer weapon) it allows my 50-55 AC characters to pretty much go to full time melee.

Depending on the boss, it can also be a boon for a ninja spy monk to lay down a couple of curses to keep their saves at an easy mark so you can keep them subjected to Unbalancing Strike and/or Touch of Despair long enough to take them down (Taeron Rimond comes to mind).

The situations where the curses can actually speed up or ease a fight may not be prominent, but they are there.

yes they stack if that is your question. the easiest way to do this tho is to use twf weaopns (kama/longsword/shortsword) and have an imp in 1 hand and a reg in the other. i know ive never seen cursepewing handwraps as when hw came out it did not exist. i know cause i made a monk and looked for them. things like cursepewing and pure good did not exist whatsoever but they later introduced pure good so i can understand it if it started to work later, but alas i have yet to see a pair, and ive seen plenty of imp cursepewing so those do exist...

Wasnt aware of that, though it seems a silly reason for them to not exist :S

Yes, i'm looking to round out my debuff wraps and these were missing, couple other places come to mind as well, though more for a caster i might be running with than for me personally.

I was not asking if they stacked, i asked if they dropped, nice of you to come in and answer my original post after someone with an earlier sign up date than me made your first post look foolish....., that one about cursespewing being useless if you recall. Yes, i know imp cursespewing exist, i also stated that in my first post ;)

Odd that they would add pure good later on and leave out cursespewing, bug or oversight, i guess i'll report it and let em figure it out, though there's alto of stuff i think they need to get to before addressing this minor issue

Yeah, curse lasts a while usually, so swapping weapons isnt too bad, also only need to do it on fairly long fights, usually solo or epic stuff, which i dont run much, since i'm usually leveling due to reincs, i do it now and then with kama's but i prefer wraps, faster attack speed and 1 wrap in place of 2 kamas suits my bag space.

Ok so if you want condescending, here you go...

With such an impressive resume on toons, capping, TRing, can you please tell me what content you are running where you are fighting mobs that:

1. discount your Monk's AC at low level that -8hit is needed
2. Have way too much HP, that switching between 2 weapons is viable to land both curses.
3. (having answered 2.) Are low enough levels to fail (DC15 or DC20)
4. can not be stunned with your monk's DC that you need -saves on them.
5. cant be taken down in 2-5sec with your decked out twice TRed toon
Sorry to ask all these question, because I really have no idea what cursespewing is or what the monk class is about.

Now that is condescending, unlike my first post.

They are about and are still dropping on the loot table. Guildy pulled a pair of cursespewing handwraps from GH last night (or it was at least an option on the end reward list). Offered them up to myself and the other monk in the party. Not sure if he took them or something else.

Any chance for a screen shot? I could have sworn i had a pair at one time a long time ago, but now i think i'm mixing up weapons.

No, others have agreed you were being condescending in your first post, plainly obvious.

As for all these questions, i never said i wanted it for leveling or for lowbie, or for twinking or any of that, i gave no reason whatso ever, YOU are the one who assumed i would want it for those reasons, others have pointed out a few places that they have use, and there are others that havent been pointed out, so again, for the second time, you add NOTHING to the thread, trying to be a smart ass

Only if he still has them and didn't sell. It was only by coinkidink that I saw your post. Must admit I didn't really take that much interest in the item at the time. Wont be on tonight but can always ask.
