U29 Items, Round 1

[Steelstar]

Hey, folks! In addition to Legendary Greensteel, there are some named items dropping in U29! Here's a look at what you'll find on Lamannia.

A few notes before we get started:

• This is a pretty early look, quite a few items aren't in top shape yet.
• DEFINITELY check out the Known Issues list when trying the items on Lamannia!
• For the first time, we're using the new Scaling Effects from the new Randomized Loot system on Named Items. As a result, some values may be odd, broken or imbalanced. We're still polishing the system and working out the kinks - Let us know where you think these lie in comparison to other items.

Raid Items:
These are the standard drops that will drop in Legendary Hound of Xoriat and Tempest's Spine. Like other named items from the last few updates, these can also drop as Mythic versions. These items are ML29.

Remove deadly from those hand wraps and put something useful there. This same mistake has been made before such as with that shurikan from a couple updates ago. Every physical damage dealer will find a way to slot deadly on an accessory somewhere it should never be on the weapon slot.

[Eldried]

Will any of the raids be playable on Lamania this weekend?

Interestingly, over the last few Lamannia cycles I seem to get two groups of players with regards to Deadly:

• Those who believe it should only be on weapon-slot items, and
• Those who believe it should never be on weapon-slot items.

Can't please both groups, sadly. I am up for hearing what the latter group would like to see replace it, though; we're more inclined to make changes when feedback is backed by a good suggestion.

[Steelstar]

Will any of the raids be playable on Lamania this weekend?

Yes, but the loot isn't dropping in Hound/TS yet. It'll be in the dojo (except the handwraps, which missed my file crawl. *shakes non-handwrapped fist*).

[Eldried]

Cool. While at it, any timetable for when Lamania will be up?

Deadly on weapons and insightful/exceptional/quality deadly on accessories.

[Atremus]

Steel,

Is this the raid only loot? Can you throw in a SP restoration clicky for one of the quests or raids?

Trinket slot : Restores 600 to 800 SP / 1 or 2 Charges.
Bind Status: BTCoE, Exclusive or BTC, Exclusive

Would prefer in a quest, so it could be farmed while the raids are all on timer

The cat's already out of the bag people are going to slot deadly from a non weapon because it is that good. We already have ~10-11 deadly damage available at cap. So say the deadly on those wraps ends up being +12-15 damage you only get at most 4-5 damage from that effect. This makes just about any other damage option a better choice even non damage mods like good, silver, cold iron, etc which would let you bypass ~20+ dr in some cases.

What adds insult to injury is that handwraps are already behind on damage compared to other styles so anythng that looks like a waste of space on them will further frustrate the playerbase. Also if rumors prove true that there are no greensteel handwraps monks need something comparable to keep them from falling more and more behind other melee until monks get an enhancement pass and wraps are recoded to be weapons.

As far as what should replace deadly on those wraps I think its time for epic cloudburst. Fits your electric sonic theme might as well finish going down the rabbit hole.

[Urjak]

Booo ... why no ranged version of the robes/outfits? Could we make this 4% quality doublestrike AND 4% quality doubleshot?

Additionally, it seems like very narrow loot selection - sure there many different armors - but you can only wear one at a time anyways ... and the other items are only for shield users, artis and unarmed monks ... so only a small selection ...

So - for me: So far not interested in any of the raid items. In case we get a ranged robe/outfit: MAYBE interested in one item ... seems to be a little lacking on the incentives side for TWO raids ...

Considering the quest items: They sound far more interesting ... the trinkets obviously have a hard standing because they have to compete with epic Litany ... but the other ones do sound interesting ...

Bottom line: Maybe move some of the quest items to the raids? I mean 0-1 interesting item for two raids and several interesting items for two quests ... someone else also think there is something off?

[Hobgoblin]

for harrryyss bane:

add bludegeon resistance maybe.

or possible make it add sliver or good to your weapons for the purpose of dr?

[TPICKRELL]

The monk robes need to have enhanced ki added.

The handwraps should be moved to drop in the quests so that they can be farmed out to be used in the raid.

"Deadly" on a weapon should simply be the +.

For example: Longsword

Now, add deadly.

You have a +5 Longsword --> a deadly longsword.

Ta-Daa!

Any chance you can lower the min lv to 28 on this stuff? One level sounds rather weak to be able to use it. Two would be nice! Nobody will get hurt if lv 28's are using any of this stuff.

Since you can only put so much upon a weapon to maintain balance, it makes sense not to add things that can be place elsewhere, unless that is taken into account with the design of the weapon.

Also the armor featured above with +6 deadly (is way below the +10ish deadly available at that level), but its insightful so its great there.

Suggestion for Wraps ~ add to trip DC, or sunder DC instead of deadly or have a x% chance to sunder/trip?

Suggestion for Armor ~ insight on armor is great, leave it alone.

Thank you for a nonmetal druid type armor.

Also for the Druid armor could we have:
+X Primal bonus to potency where X = (Wilderness Lore* Z/Y) where Z and Y are similar numbers, possibly the same?
Or other feature of your choice with wilderness lore?

After all the DRuid armor lack the great temp sp (would love to add to druid armor if you want) of the angelic, or is that a copy and paste error?


Any chance on a +X Religious/Wilderness Lore shield/armor/item bonus somewhere?

Will seek out any and all sp clicky pots wherever they might drop.

Also interested in a ranged breastplate (medium) armor.

Slicing winds ofc.

I'd also like to point out that there are exactly 5 Abjuration spells in the game that even ALLOW a saving throw (for abjuration focus) (Banishment, Dismissal, Glyph of Warding, Greater Glyph of Warding, and Holy Aura).

[FuzzyDuck81]

Flavour effect for the harry bane ring.. maybe it could grant favoured enemy:evil outsider feat? neutralise poison clicky (with higher caster level than basic, so the temporary full immunity effect lasts longer) could be in theme of countering harry's abilities too, or adding evil outsider bane as a weapon imbue when equipped could be nice too & relatively situational.

[DeadRabbat]

Okay so we have this.
Handwraps - Storm's Harness
+5[w] (which makes them 6[w], because your fists are the other w... hooray handwraps)

+13 Enhancement Bonus
Damage (Deadly)
Fists (this makes them 7[w])
Insightful Melee Power
Quality Stunning
Sonic OnCrit Damage
Electric Damage
Red Augment Slot
Orange Augment Slot


First, why Harness? Harness is something that straps around the body, wraps wrap around the hand & up the forearms to elbow. So Harness, even though cool in name, doesn't fit what a Wrap is.
Deadly on a Wrap, interesting but not too effective as others have pointed out.
Maybe an air guard on them...fits with the Storm Theme. But more importantly, DR bypass without having to buy augments. Doesn't have to be like TF but one or two metals would be nice.

My 2 cents.
DR
