New Raid Beaten on Beta!!!!!

[Turial]

I would not be willing to bet a lot on blasts affecting weapons.

If any of you remember Ask the Devs #8, we were supposed to get craftable rings that affect only unarmed.

My guess is that the Blast recipes are the ones that will do that. If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Handwraps are nothing more than accessories worn in the weapon slot. Enhancing weapons has been, historically, harder to achieve than enhancing the player so they could have decided that it was an happy coincidence for blasts to improve the DPS of the weakest DPS class and left it that way.

I hope that if this is the case they inform us prior to a bunch of people attempting to place such upgrades on their rings and finding out that it doesn't work.

While this maybe obvious to people that are paying attention to or keeping track of old dev statements the average gamer is going to expect the blast effect to work on all weapons....after all, things like seeker, sneak attack, etc affect all weapons.

Kiranselie, have you tried to see if you could change the crafted bonus? I wonder if they took that page from the DT crafting or if it's locked in like Shroud crafting.

The gimp (Kiranselie) only had 1 shard of great power, sometime tomorrow we will run a shroud to get him a shard.

You know, I was thinking about the raid loot and a thought occurred to me.....

If people think they've seen arguments with raid loot before, just wait til this mod.

I mean, guild groups and stuff it won't be a big issue, but I'm mainly thinking pugs here.

Let's look at the ring that dropped. It's a tempest ring, it has 6 dex on it, +1 exceptional wisdom, and the ability to craft something else on it. Anyone with a +6 dex ring is going to want it, and will roll for it.

If the other rings follow the same pattern as this ring, then all +6 stat rings are pretty much dead, and everyone will be looking to upgrade their stat rings, whether or not they have the PrE that's on the ring.

I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot of posts like "the barbarian rolled on the tempest ring!" or "the wizard rolled on the frenzied bezerker ring!"....

Exactly, that's why I asked about the drop rate on the Rings. In your run, it was just the one ring that dropped?

Yeah there was only 1 ring and 11 war trophies + random loot.

[Tanka]

1 Trophy for each member of the party, right?

Looking like the guild runs are gonna be "give all the trophies to the guy who got a ring", which I'm totally OK with.

GRATS!~!!

An outstanding achievement we will appreciate even more after launch.

If we really can choose a tier 3 effect, we have as choices

+2 exceptional stat
+30% Healing Amplification
+4 AC (Insight)
Good Blast (or elem blast)

The blasts are only useful for Monks, it would seem.

Also; elemental absorption (30% I think?).

Sup Devotion VI might also be useful for some bards, through I think Sup Potency VI is available from some of the set items.

The rings are exclusive right? (At work & cant see images)

In that case you are only going to really want 1. Either your PrC one (probably most likely) or the one with the +6 stat & tier 2 benefit that is just awesome by itself.

Of course since PrE's are swappable, you may want to collect all for your class...

Then the fact that it will take 9 runs to get the required trophies to imbue vs the limited (apparently) number of recipes we need to test.

That and the fact that your class PrE ring may never actually fall on the run you are in with that character...

This is sounding more grindy as we go on. I am definitely going to be more prone to guild runs now as there are fewer idjiots to worry about and loot is usually on a need basis.

Well, Kilau's band is exclusive, so you definitely can't get 2 of them. But does that mean that you can't get Kilau's band and then another named ring? I wouldn't think so...I'd think that with different names, they count as different items, and you could wear both. Might be mistaken..

Congrats on a job well done.

Hmm didn't think of that... That means people may want up to 5 rings each...

The first 2... any ring that drops in your first few runs that have a decent +6 stat for your class. doesn't matter on the PrE.

The other 3... the three rings that are for the PrE's for your class. You can then swap at your leisure.

Possibly even other +6 stat rings if your gear set up would benefit from it....

And the ring drop rate is going to be the lowest like the chattering ring...

I agree with you Mhykke there is gonna be trouble.

Yeah....on a side note, the boards could be a whole lotta fun..

[Bunker]

So when it comes to the named rings. I assume there will be different types for different class PrEs. It might not be all that bad when it comes to the loot. I mean, if there is one in the chest specific to a sorcerer, and you have 2 sorcs in you party, I would think that it will go to those who benifit the most.

Oh wait. Ignore that last statement. We are talking about loot. Yeah, peeps probably be a bit grabby.

Looking forward to helping the Thelanis players in anyway I can. /salute
