Epic Items

[Souless]

I have been looking through threads with Epic Item reviews, and other Epic Item disscussions for improving/altering and whatever....

Here is my issue: ALL EPIC ITEMS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL

I have been looking at the challange reward and epic items that can be crafted...These items are SO EASY to acquire as to be laughable!!!

For example: take a look at the elemental bow and khopesh...and ding there is no need to run LOB or MA EVER AGAIN!

I am annoyed by u devs driving the House C challanges, House P,D, and other event quests down my throat by adding rediculous epic weapons and equipment that can be crafted easily. If I took the time to craft these things I suspect that I could have evrything I wanted in under a week. These easy acquire items diminish my efforts to craft (even a single) epic ring of spell storing in ways I can't even think of yet!

Well when I started this post I was gonna be posative and suggest some changes for items, however, I am so annoyed now that I think I'm gonna stop before I get some infraction points....

So I will leave it at this: EASY EPICS /NOT SIGNED

I didn't think the epic challenge items were that good. I think Alchemical weapons are far more superior. Now, some of those items are nice, but I still can't see them being added to very many people's fully geared plans.

Ok, so tonight I did the following after posting this thread.....

Rage-quit for an hour, then came back and decided to prove my point and learn/run the challenges until I made the bow....

Ran the challenges for about an hour, then stoped and ran an abbot. I pulled only junk loot and a completion.

After Abbot, I ran LoB and MA, junk loot outta Lob (I lost the roll for the earth elly) and an alchemical surikein outta MA. Then ran Edq2 and lost 2 majors (what the healers downed to pull us through) looted more junk and a completion. Then ate dinner....

After that I went back to farming (less that 3 hours latter) made my earth elemental bow...U gotta be F$%&#%6 kiddin...

So then I wanted to see if it was as good as I was saying....and against the ship dummy its every bit as good as a minII bow.

I took it out to amrath battlefield....and u could argue that it out performed minII. Now I haven't tried the bow in any meaniful applications but lets just say that it seems to be performing (at least on trash mobs) as good as minII.

With that said.....I gotta say BRING ON THE CHALLENGE WEAPONS!!! I need never run raids for trash loot again...I can craft whatever I want outta challenges..I just need u devs to make sure they r easy enough so I can solo, then I don't need to talk to anyone EVER!!! lol

Oh, n btw, if u don't think the challenge equipment is that good... I challenge u to spend an hour and make 1, then u will know!!! THEY R THAT DAM GOOD!!!

I don't care about other people's loot. I play the game because it's fun, not for the shinies.


Look at all the threads from people who are wiping shrouds. Do you think gear will help them? All the loot in the game won't matter if you play badly.

I have seen EDQ2's fail because of lack of equipment...DPS was too light because there were not enough ESOS's or minII's...The same in EV6, the grp performed well, the healers outstanding, and yet it was still a fail because we could DPS down the eggs fast enough to eliminate the Fire elly's.

So u can say all u want about how good the player is: I contend that a competant player with substandard gear will be out performed (esspeacially when standing in front of a raid boss where dicision making is reduced to auto attack) by a suspect player with good/great gear...

And that is why this easy access gear irritates me.
