Contest: Next super weapon

[Boromirs]

A weapon may arrive that will finally unseat the eSoS in raw DPS power. It will be completely mind boggling in numbers and look crazy cool ... and will invariably sell the next expansion single-handedly.

The contest is simple. Guess the TYPE of weapon (maul,greataxe,spoon etc.) , the raw weapon damage(2d10,3d10,10d10?! etc.), the raw bonus (+6,+7, +15?!), the crit factor(x3,x4,x8?!), crit range(20,19-20,everytime?!), material (admantium, silver, skimpy lingerie?!), and extra frills (lightning strike, holy blah blah etc.)

Whoever comes closest will recieve 3 FRDS on any server except Ghallanda and Orien (because I don't play there).

[Bacab]

Twinkle...

Scimitar...3d6 Crit 17-20x3 or 18-20x3...but with improve Crit itll be 13-20x3 or 15-20x3 ...Force and Force Burst Damage...

Yes this is Drizzt's...Scimmy and I think they will Epi-size it with a side of Fries.

Or Wolfgar's Hammer's named Aegis Flame

Maul 5d10x4 with Force Strike (think Lightning Strike but Force Dmg) and it will be of course Greater Orc bane...

I am on Ghallanda...for 3 FRDS I will make a toon on the server of your choice and pay the money to server transfer lol.

With the advent of F2P epics, I think it's fairly obvious.

Three words: Epic Murlynd's Spoon.

Spiked chain would be better

[Brennie]

Spiked chain would be better

Without adding "Reach", "Attacks of opportunity" or "Weapon type has any effect on tactical abilities (IE trip)" into the game mechanics, Spiked chain would be an awful translation into DDO. Unless they pull a Kopesh, and compensate for these lack of abilities by fiddling with the crit profile...

[Lord_kNiels]

(...) Unless they pull a Kopesh (...)

[Thaminor]

A set of gloves that will allow you to throw your eSoS as a ranged returning weapon.

That would be the most hideous animation ever.

[Havok.cry]

It will be a sceptre or club. It will have one stacking necro DC. That is all

Why would you be interested in the next super weapon? No one plays melee characters anymore. I heard so on the forums.

Meh, forget finding awesome weapons, i wanna know when we will get to roll intelligent weapons as characters. Then we can start posting LFWs (looking for wielders)

Hah!

Honestly, I always imagined "intelligent weapons" as being ultra rare (Think oldschool ion Stones) BtC on equip weapons with a specific "theme" (Undead slayer, champion of lawful goodness, Sneaky blade of sneakiness, Smashy McSmasherton), that would level up WITH your character, and gain abilities accordingly (Undead slayer, for example, would likely beginto develop undead bane, then disruption, then maybe Brilliance and other anti-undead effects). This could, of course, simply happen each time a character levels up OR weapons could have their *own* XP pool, so that high level character still need to "charge" their weapons to bring them to full capacity!

Of course, problems arise from such an idea.... not least of which is "What happens to the joy of finding new gear, when you have your best weapon from 1-20 level up with you".

However, my vote is now officially Intelligent Weapons! ... But only if they get infrequent voice-over's for specific triggers... for instance, the Chaotic Good themed bow "Robbin' Hoode" may proclaim "Ah ha, have at thee fiend!" once every ~200 kills of lawful evil enemies, but may exclaim "Sorry... sorry... this one is making me do it... so sorry!" when you have killed ~50 Chaotic Good enemies (Which i guess is just Eladrin, but whatevs). Given a handful of quips with enough variety of "Triggers", these could be fun additions, kinda like the Kobold voices from cove... only, y'know... not repeated every 5 seconds, and not mega-spammed when 10 kobolds all find the same trigger :P

moer words...

That got me thinking about Legacy weapons, in one of our campaigns we made a group where everyone was the inheritor of a legacy item (which for people unfarmiliar with it is a weapon that acts as a minor magic item until you perform the rituals to unlock it, then its powers grow as you level up)

anyways, one of the factors was that you'd have to make a sacrifice like BAB, HP, Saves, etc that would be permanently lost as long as it was bonded to you, and would accumulate as it grew in power (to represent it drawing on and intertwining with your life energy). The amounts were fairly minor, and far overshadowed by the powers of the legacy item.

Anyways, we found that because of the items power, many of us were building our characters around it, and getting other equipment to support it and the theme it invoked; my character was a monk/swordsage that studied the Desert Wind fighting style, and inhereted the Desert Wind Scimitar. I found that I was taking abilities and feats that complemented its powers, and often searched out magic items that went well with the fire/wind powers, such as rings of elemental command (fire & air) and a carpet of flying; I had a great time looking to acquire that kinda stuff.

I guess my point is that you still have the joy of acquiring stuff, its just that the focus shifts a bit. IF its implemented right.

Epic Destroyer (Ki Khopesh)

When weilding this weapon monks stay centred when using Khopeshes*: meaning can wear another Khopesh of a different type and still stay centred.

-4d8, 19 - 20 X 3
-Metalline
-Improved Paralyzing
-Stunning + 10 or maybe sunder + 10
-Holy Burst
-Improved Disintegration (Disintegrate with twice the proc rate)

I imagine would result in alot of 12mk/6mk/2mnk - mixed with fighter sorta builds, could be fun if not a lil OP hehe.
-Heck lets throw bodyfeeder on there as well.
