Is your large creation worth it!!

[Beldar]

Hey guys, I was wondering how the creation of your larges are going?


Example:

Whoever is making an earthgrab (earth, earth, earth ) weapon can you tell us if it actually immobilzes an enemy....is it worth adding your larges there?

Whoever is making a greater disruption guard/weapon - does it actually work worth a **** or is it just cool to have?

Whoever is creating an enervation guard ( fire/negative/fire/negative) does it work or every once in awhile.


Give me your feedback on what was totally worthless to make, so that maybe it can help those creating larges to make a better decision on where to put their hard earned larges :P

Please post what you've created, and if its worth creating again. Help the community I say.

Thanks!

i made a positive-positive-positive khopesh and love it with a firey passion most know only once in a lifetime.

My ranger dual weilds tier 3 mineral Khopeshes and I wouldn't think twice about spending another 48 large ingredients on them again. They are the most disgustingly powerful things I've seen.

Eurytos dual weilds them as well, one holy/acidburst/acidblast and one acid/goodburst/ac+4. Definitely worth doing. Nice being able to keep stoneskin on yourself through out the whole quest while being able to bypass all bypassable DR and with good modifiers (acid/holy/acidburst/whichever you go with)

x3 earth not really for earth grab but its a bonus for a clr if your going for +3 exceptional wisdom. And earth grab works like mob earth grab. Acts like Holder monster so you get auto sneak/crit. But my opinion is not really worth it on a dps weapon to go x3 earth acid effects and the grab is rare enough.

x3 pos dps weapon is nice because its probably the best average dps without tier 3 bonus. Note PG blast/burst works on portals that are ray of enfeebled nicely. For accessory casters get it because its tier2 bonus is semi useful because they wont need the air/air haste clicky. But the tier 3 bonus grtr disruption is definitely useless since its like 3% chance with no save.

keep up the work posting everyone, it can be about any weapon or item...if ur curious just ask! i'm sure someone will respond

[Aranticus]

pos pos pos khopesh for me as well. its a good all round weapon as most mobs are evil. true res on it is extremely useful to get the dead cleric up. gtr disruption? meh not so. a nice bonus to have but doesnt go off enough..... thou it doesnt seem to have a save... so prolly thats why

[Redcoil]

For accuracy I will state that Earth/Earth/Earth IS worth it(to me). When Earthgrabbed, its equal to hold monster. FOM and the Ward in Gianthold Tor will make them immune to this... however cleaning up outside gianthold or many other areas makes it quite a bit of fun. I use Acid/Acidburst/+4 ac, so Im running around (as a Rogueadin) with decent AC, saves...and suddenly hold any monster Im fighting critting every swing. Also summoning 2 Earth Ellies that are decent summons that can Earthgrab is a bonus as well.

They dont live long after that.

Greater Disruption: (Holy, Good burst, Good blast) It procs randomly, however its better than almost any undead bane. The crits on burst/blast still function for damage even if the crit doesn't. Khop vs Undead: 1d10 slash + 3d6 a hit, 11d6 on 17, 15d6 on a 20. Get the Ethereal Bracers, and not much could be better.
Also can do 9d6 a hit to Portals in Part 1...

Edit: Ive found the Earthgrab to be about a 5% rate in one trial, and 7% in another.
Counting how many times we swing, thats not too bad a deal.

I think the one Tier 3 upgrade that is clearly worth it (and in fact obnoxiously overpowered) is the tier 3 Mineral upgrade on a weapon. Transmuting is insane at current endgame - a +DM//EDM//(+&E)DM weapon will out-DPS anything short of a +2 holy silver greater lawful outsider bane, +5 holy silver lawful outsider bane or +4 transmuting greater lawful outsider bane weapon against the Pit Fiend, but unlike those highly specialized weapons, it is also awesome against foes that are not lawful evil outsiders.


Other Tier 3 upgrades worth the grind are the Mineral HP accessories (+ME//EME//(+&E)ME = heavy fort, +5 deflection AC and +45 HP, stacks with everything except itself - basically frees up 2 slots between cloak, helm and rings), and also the Status Immunity recipe (-OM//-OM//-OM, immune blindness poison fear disease, deathblock, Slay Living DC30 procs on 2% of foes that hit you).

[Boldrin]

Another few larges and I'll have my concordant opposition goggles done for my ranger as well, figure it should work well for a melee ranger who gets hit. Extra hps and unlimited SP FTW!!! Even if it only procs 1-2% it should be great

AMEN! I love my mineral 2 khopesh... it's absolutely nasty. If it had everbright, I would literally use it on every single mob in the game.

Hi people, sorry but what is this large thing about? I've just joined the game about a week.
Is this about enhancing your weapons? How do I go about enhancing my own items and where do I get the resources to do it from?

[kengsxr]

Beld, I have an earthgrab bow, the earthgrab does not happen enough for the time/money spent, it they make it happen more ofter, then it will be a good item.

its the new crafting stuff from the shroud raid, if u just started the game it will be a long time before u can even attempt to get one of these, unless u are the uber i play 20 hours a day gamer and even then it will still take a little while.

Ah... Thanks for the info!

I made a radiance bow, i've been happy, especially when thigns get auto crit. I also made a pos pos pos maul for my twf wf barb. I made the maul to decimate undead, skellies, ect, now all i need is the ethereal bracer for him, and i will be very very well set up for plowing through skellies and all manner of undead.

If a green falchion is released, i'll be making a fire fire fire focus, all dps, (for those mobs suseptable to that sorta damage). I think the damage output will be very effective against anything which takes double damage vs.fire, considering I will be criting on a 13.

[Arj]

I made a dual shard greatsword (positive, earth, earth) for my paladin and it was easily worth the grind. Out-DPS any weapon I've picked up so far (even most specialised ones) and has made me seriously consider selling most of my 1-H weapons.

[nakedfatguy]

my ranger dual weilds the holy/shockingburst/blast lightning strike SS's. i love them, i still giggle every time the strike goes off Also has the +45 hp bracers, makes meleeing the fiend MUCH easier.

pos/pos/pos maul on my barb, love it to. hits harder than my Gaxes. Also the poison/disease/blindness/fear/deathblock bracers, they are real nice too.

2 pos/pos/pos warhammers on my TWF barb....just made them so havent used them much, but they own the portals so far.

+9 chr scepter and the pos/pos/pos goggles....hits a heal scroll without fail now and of course the wiz 6 +300 sps is just sick. Next up is the concordant opposition after i run my 21st on tuesday.....cant wait for those.

Got a couple same items on other toons. I'm very happy with everything so far.....cant wait for the new sutff and i'll have to bank all these

Triple earth morningstar on Saal, used for the +3 exceptional wisdom. Earthgrab is meh unless I'm favor running lowbie quests. On Jilletta, I have tier 3 min II battleaxe in main hand and tier 3 lit II kukri in off hand=damage. Tier 3 Lit II longbow on Jilletta also. Tier 3 min II greataxe on my barbarian Saalindra=damage. I also make the concordant opposition tier 3 items for all my clerics for sp and the ability to get sp and hp from getting hit by enemy fire. With torc, I tend to get lots of sp back during those long quests like coal chamber(until someone kills my mana batteries).
