Modifying low-level Calomel weapons

[btolson]

Level 4 & 8 Calomel weapons are terrible. Dragon bane is almost entirely useless at these levels, and 1d4 tidal damage is far from competitive with either random loot or crafted items.

I suggest augmenting the (lesser) dragon bane with reptilian bane (level 4) and greater reptilian bane (level 8). This is still within the same vein flavor-wise (dragons... reptiles...), but is much more useful. These items might then begin to serve an actual purpose.

I would still find them useless, but the suggestion is not a bad one. How about this instead--add reptile bane to all levels/tiers of Calomels?

I find the same to be true of the mournlode weapons, and for that matter 95% of named loot. Calomel is one I consider useless til 20, then it can arguably be good if you don't have better stuff from epics.

For what it's worth...

Half Signed,
Rework is needed but that suggestion leaves them still useless till 20 and even then they are questionable.
Nobody will farm lvl16 ones for Gianthold/Mired and lvl20s are not much more usefull as most of us have standart-beater that do at least the same damage, much more very likely.

So absolute no use in them,
grinding hours and hours of challenges that are horrible xp and half of them no fun at all
(disruptor i am looking at you :P )
and wasting an inventar-slot or two, who would want to do this?

Me. I make epic dragon beaters for my weapon-using toons. They are better vs dragons than almost anything else.

Also, I personally enjoy torch running (but not extactor guarding or mansion raiding).

I actually really enjoy running the challenges. If Camomel had reptilian bane, that would be twink enough for me to farm up a set.
