Handwraps... what works and what doesn't

**Brother_Solar** · 02-16-2009, 06:28 PM

No. We also have Silthe's follow up post:

I've just had it further explained to me that most of the fixes we're doing (and have already done in Mod 8 and it's patches) won't fix existing handwraps without you putting them through the Stone of Change. They just make sure all new handwraps that drop work correctly.

If you are having a problem with a handwrap that has dropped since the latest update, please send me a PM with details and I'll make sure it's being addressed.

~Silthe

I have seen nothing more on the subject since then.

- Weighted Handwraps don’t add to the DC of a monk with the Stunning Blow feat.
- Pure Good handwraps are missing from the loot tables.

Do they exist?

There are many aspects of DDo where players get excited about problems which they shouldn't - monk hand wraps is NOT one of those problems.

They've been out for almost 1 year with the same issues. Take your "relax" and stick it.

I think the set bonus from VOD will work because it reads on character description, but I have yet to get a the set so I have not tested it.

Nope they don't work. I have the set and they don't work with handwraps. They do work for kamas and staves but handwraps for some reason don't.

Fixes have been announced, nothing to do now but wait...and wait...and wait...you could spend that time all hyped up and angry, or just relax. Frankie says relax, and I trust 'im.

If Mod 9 doesn't resolve things then you'll see my "Hulk smash!" impersonation...

I can confirm that there are currently no Transmuting handwraps.

I suspect that there are also no Potency handwraps.

I picked up a set of paralyzer handwraps the other day, but haven't tried 'em out yet. Any word on if these work?

Yes Paralyzers work (love to see the green globe around thoses paralyzed ogres). I am bummed that my +4 weakening handwraps don't work though. I am not sure if my Smitting wraps are working either.

**QuantumFX** · 02-26-2009, 03:49 PM

Force Crit Ritual doesn’t work on handwraps either.

Smiting should work. Put them in the stone of change if you aren't seeing saves or death on a crit.

here's a question, anyone hear if there's any intent on making greensteal handrwaps?

**Madhatternynja2007** · 03-11-2009, 06:21 AM

That is the big question, my two monks I have would really like to know if GS handwraps are coming, so tired of being a broke class.

**Xaxx** · 03-12-2009, 01:41 AM

the last official stance we had was no plans for them but that was mod 8, hopefully with them fixing alot of the handwrap stuff in mod 9 they'll finally introduce gsw wraps, those would go a LOOOOONG way in evening monk dps.. str based pure monk with power attack in wind stance with lightning 2 handwraps... ooh yeah that be fun

**Brother_Solar** · 03-12-2009, 12:07 PM

Should "Curse Spewing" be added to the "Appears to be Missing from the Loot Tables" list?

I haven't ever seen any in game. My experience isn't all-encompassing though.

**Kalaxia** · 03-14-2009, 01:15 PM

I'm just coming back to the game after 2 years.. and either I'm doing something wrong, or Ghost Touch (altho reported to be working) on handwraps is NOT working properly for me.

I have ghost touch w/ 2 ooze banes.. and the ooze part works, the ghost touch will bypass the avoidance but apply 0 damage everytime. Yet a staff (when it can hit) will do full damage. Aren't both base damages blunt? Is there something I'm missing, or is the handwraps just bugged for this? Is it something to do with ooze bane on the item too?

I did what someone suggested about examining myself, and I only see the 1st ooze property, and it doesn't list ghost touch or the 2nd ooze property at all.

If it's not me, and Ghost touch does work by itself, then perhaps there's a bug with having 2 or more properties on handwraps.
