(Improved) Shattermantle weapons

[Eth]

Is there any way to still get this effect or do you have to have some grandfathered loot from years ago?

I found improved shattermantle on a couple of things recently:
1. Generic random shortbow (*it's possible but unlikely that this was sitting in some alts old TR cache and that's where I found it but I think it was a quest drop)
2. Cormyrean weapons - found a mace with this while doing an eveningstar challenge, so if you trade in enough mats you might eventually get lucky with the effect you want on the weapon you want from the very long list...

I have to admit I usually don't even look at random gen loot, but I can't recall seeing one in ages.

Good call on the cormyrean weapons. Wiki lists ML16 version with shattermantle and ML24 with improved shattermantle. Good enough for me as a source.


Anyone remember of these stacked (the normal version and the improved version)?

Wiki says they don't stack and I don't remember them stacking (back in the trying to beat drow SR when Menace of the Underdark came out). Haven't seen them on anything recently.

There's also the 3 sec cooldown AA attack. Works as per most ranged attacks with all arrows of the doubleshot chain adding to the stack and great with improved precise shot for when you need a lot of SR (in a line) decreased at once. I just tested and smacked 5 mobs with -9 in one activation on my mostly tempest, slightly ranged ranger manyshot'ing.


Tier 3 AA:
Shattermantle Shot: Ranged Archery Attack: Performs a ranged attack with +1/+2/+3[W] damage. On hit: Target gains 1/2/3 stack of Reduced Spell Resistance (-1 Spell Resistance. This effect can stack 100 times) on Vorpal Hit: Shattermantle (-100 spell Resistance for 10 seconds. Will DC 10/14/18 + Half Ranger Level + Wisdom Modifier negates.) (Activation Cost: 4 SP. Cooldown: 3 seconds)
