Earthgrab > Stunning??

[Goldeneye]

Are earthgrab weapons now more effective then Stunning 5% (formally weighted)?

One of the things we're changing in Update 5 is we're reducing the saves of epic trash across the board by 10. We want you to be able to reliably use your DC based tools like special attacks and spells to deal with them, if you're targeting their weak saves.

It is pretty silly. Weighted weapons used to be just DC boosts (like Vertigo and Shatter); it's unfortunate that the secondary addition to them so overshadows the primary one.

Stunning weapons of all pluses now have a 3% chance to trigger, and have DC's that vary based on the Stunning plus of the weapon. (Fort DC 25/27/29/31/33)

Stunning 5%:
3% Trigger, 33 DC Fort
+10 DC, but all epic mobs now have -10

Earthgrab
5% Trigger, 35 DC Reflex
Full Greensteel damage!

Looks like Earthgrab weapons are not superior to weighted!

Are not? Or now?


I'd say they are. At least until they decide to "re-balance" earthgrab. Look for this "re-balance" in Update 6.

and of course, monks don't have greensteel handwraps...

that's true - but they were suddenly becoming actually useful in epic. that needed to be fixed.

I know

Its not like we can spam our nice stunning fist much at 15 ki a pop and the (apparent) reduction in ki generation due to these TWF changes.

But I'm sure this will reduce all lag by 40%

Is it correct that Stunning DC+ will work on stunning fist and hand wraps? That's a decent boost to monks..

[Asketes]

yeah yeah

you were just the gimp we needed to raise up..

I don't have earthgrab warhammers... but I will have earthgrab khopeshes soon!

[Visty]

imo its correct that raidloot should be better than random loot

[Goldeneye]

I agree - my main character is a warhammer specced fighter dual weilding icy'd bursting weighted 5% warhammers, and I'm still thrilled about this news!
