Paralyzing Weapons

[Boromirs]

Did they nerf the paralyzing effect on weapons too? I hope they didn't, anyone know for sure?

I haven't noticed anything that seems different except maybe slightly more frequent successful saves, but that could simply be my perception, or I've just been having bad luck (which seems to the case in general the last week on the game). I know I've been using my paralyzing bow more than usual (instead of my WoP bow) since the bad guys are returning fire and running at me all the time now. So heck, maybe paralyzers are becoming more useful now.

I used to prefer to use a Paralyser in my off hand.

If I understand the TWF nerf, that idea got seriously nerfed.

I use a primary vorpal, secondary paralyzer, and like I said, seems like I'm seeing fewer paralyzed targets, but I honestly can't say yet if it's the mechanics or just me.

Didn't read it closely, but it sounded like off-hand attacks have only a percent chance to do anything at all. Therefore the offhand attack will show up much less often than before..... hurts DPS, but IMO hurts things like holding a paralyser in your off hand even more than it hurts the DPS....

Just going off what I read though....haven't tried to experiment with it at all.

Well that's the nerf in action. If you paralyzer hand fails to proc 20-80% chance, then you'll not get the option to try for a paralyzer proc check.

So you're % to paralyze is far less if on a TWF and off hand and not got 100% proc rate.

nerf, nerf, nerf, baseball bat! ..

Bah. Might be time to just go for straight damage weapons then. A reduction in successful paralyzing attempts jacks with my fighting style. Bah.

+1 rep as soon as I spread some more around for making me spit my orange juice out in laughter at that.

A character with no two weapon fighting feats has a base 20% chance to proc off-hand attacks.

The Two Weapon Fighting, Improved Two Weapon Fighting, and Greater Two Weapon Fighting feats now grant a +20% bonus to proc off-hand attacks.


So yes depends on your feats and escentially BaB... off hand weapon favors GTWF (BaB 11+) at 80% proc chance.

Awww, c'mon- if you're not gonna call the ddDDDoooOOOOOooommmMMMMmmm!!!one!!eleven! wagon then who will?

You know we have come to rely on you for such things.

Mom said I would be good for something, I just can't quite put a finger on it quite yet.

I tested offhand paralyzing on lamannia.

I was not scientific though, just a "feel" kind of test. It felt fine, about as it always had.

No changes have been made to paralyzing weapons.

If you have the full chain of TWF feats (and aren't a Tempest II), you'll have an off-hand paralyze attack trigger 80% of the time. (If you're a Tempest II, you'll have off-hand paralyze attacks 100% of the time.)

I don't see anyone forcing you to read these posts.

Maybe your face is getting red because you didn't wash your hands before you held your tongue...
