    Default Come on people!!!

    Come on folk's the price of rapiers has gotten way out of hand. I mean lets get real here who in there right mind is paying that much when greensteel has taken over the weapon market. I myself have been rolling up a new rogue and franlky like rapiers on him but it seems imposible to even buy a half decent one at the prices people have them at, so just do us kinda poor guys and the new guy's with not alot of plat a favor and stop being stupid and bring them prices down.

    I've seen the same 3 or 4 rapiers on the AH for obnoxious prices for a while now...like 2 or 3 weeks...

    I guess some people are too ignorant to figure out that they won't get the price they're asking....

    Don't worry Nuggs. If what we hear is true (that mobs in Mod 8 are immune to stat dmg), the price of rapiers will plummet. For a dps rapier, you're obviously much better off to build one in the Shroud.

    The only thing left will be the soon-to-be-obsolete banishing rapiers and the occasional-use smiting rapiers.

    There's one joker who keeps reposting his +1 axiomatic rapier of greater construct bane for over a mil plat, every 3 days.

    fwiw, the only thing ive found thus far that would nix the wop weapons are the giants in snowy outdoor area (cant remember name for the life of me), some undead in one of the others. everything else ive run into thus far they will work fine against, and once stoned my sorc still takes down giants with punct. picks as she does other mobs. so stone and wop, stone and wop will still work just fine...

    Now, i still have couple more outdoor areas to and of course i havent done new quests, but i see nothing yet that makes me go running to forums to sell of weapons...not just yet anyways...

    Shhhh...you just ruined the plot! If we say the new content will make W/P obsolete, maybe we'll see some being posted on the A/H that we can snap up below market.

    Geez...get with the program!

    I heard that scales could be had on a one for one exchange for bones...muhahaha....

    this is incorrect only certain mobs are immune to stat damage, which means there is variety to the mobs, and you need more than just you w/p to kill everything.

    So far there is only one mob, the frost giants that are immune to stat damage, all otehr mobs are as they have always been. Again for these mobs you will need DPS both melee and casting type.

    I think alot of us have forgotten that some people use the AH to simple "store" weapons that they dont have room for in their bank or inventory. Throw a huge crazy price on it so you are sure you dont lose it and in the crazy chance someone actually buys it, bonus.

    its the same on khyber the prices for rapiers are obscene. 300k for a +1acid rapier of puncturing!!!! I have my elf rapier barb im working up and I put him on the shelf while i look for weapons for him. I completely agree it has gone out of control.
    Toons are in a constant state of flux. Khyber server.

    Not *exactly* true. 3 new outdoor zones. One is undead, one is warded-giants (stat dmg immune), and another is primarily gnolls. So stat damagers are useless in 2/3 of the new outdoor zones, and probably the 4th as well (some undead, unconfirmed as to what else may be in there).

    Still predict a plummet in the price of stat damaging weapons.

    In the current mod, stat damaging weapons are useful in the majority of encounters. If they become situational weapons, the logical market reaction is a decline in demand and, all things being equal, price.

    You aren't going to trade everything you own of value for a weapon you use situationally, as we have seen players do for w/p rapiers for use in Mod 7.

    Full tome pages sets, full sets of +2 tomes.. banishers, smiters, etc. People in a position to ask for "anything I want". Those days are over.

    As of right now, i am of the opinion that stat damagers will still be useful in the majority of encounters, from what ive seen so far. Not to mention Mod 9 will be more nasty devils and such, and i dont believe they'll have deathward, undispellable or no. Of course, i may be wrong.
