No Cold Lore on the Slave Master's Staff? Dumb.

Whelp, the slave rags are an insta mirror of glamour for me and I'm sure a lot of others. There's gonna be a lot of shirtless adventurers running around Stormreach soon. The lack of any cleric healing items is a bummer. The helm with relentless fury is really nice and I'll for sure want that. Maybe the trinket. I'll want to check out the craftable items more, but there's a good chance I'll craft some kind of item to tie up effects I can't fit in elsewhere. You all did a really good job on the artwork on these.

Aack now I need another mirror of glammoring!!! ...or 2... yeah maybe 2 would be better.

[raclaw]

Executioner's Docent looking same ugly like Heartwood... Devs do you have no imagination??? Docents from ToEE is very nice but now......

One question, Would I get the 5 piece set bonus, if I use two rings, or only one ring slot matters?

why does the large shield have a max dex bonus of 2? that should be tower shields?

No fix? I am shocked!

Have to say the Executioner's Platemail looks pretty sweet.

Also has tower shield ASF. A big loser of a shield if not fixed.

Not gonna track it down again but pretty sure they said in lama forums that it would count both, and that you could mix and match named and crafted.

edit: I lied, I tracked it down.

I didn't see the question as that, but yes since you can put the set bonus on all of the named and upgradeable items in this update, they all count towards a given set.

I guess he didn't address 2 rings specifically though.

My understanding is that it should work; the 5 piece set bonus is wearing five items, regardless of slot.

Cordovan? can we have a "read by dev" on the shield bug?

looks rubbish on the larger races like pdk and horc, stretched and all.

This gear has some cosmetic issues, why does the executioner's helmet have the look of a minas tirith guard?



The splash page artwork features a more creepy looking helm with horns, why wasn't that used? Unless the executioner took it of a captured paladin?

I like the Slave Rags looks, i have been asking for more savage and gladiatorial inspired outfits for years.
I hope they look as well on the larger races (horc and pdk) without looking too stretched.

[RapkintheRanger]

Yup.

Is it an error or is it specifically designed to exclude cold for some reason and if so, can we know why?

[HatsuharuZ]

1) The helm and docent both look like... something that shouldn't have the word "executioner's" in it's name.

2) Concerning the rags... I don't think I've ever seen nipples in DDO before!... I think.

3) Why does only the female version of the rags have lots of coverage? Booo...

[HastyPudding]

I shall buy my mirror of glamouring now, in anticipation of the rags. That would look awesome on my fighter. I hope this opens the way to more revealing armors. I would LOVE to have a shirtless outfit for my monk with dragon tattoos on it or something so I can go all Bruce Lee on those kobolds. That would be amazing for update 33 monk pass.

Speaking of monks...this update has nothing for monks other than a few items that might add quality combat focus or generic stats.

[Steve_Howe]

Glamering.

[moomooprincess]

I hope there is a quest in the future where we can only Shield Bash.

1st: nice work on the art - these all look really different and cool and unique without being jarringly out of place with other things in the game.

2nd: these are just... so boring... in terms of effects. Not a single 'interesting' effect on any items that makes you think "ooh, that's cool, if I play using a slightly different style I can really take advantage of that", unless you count the reused relentless fury on the executioner's helm. Just bigger numbers than available before for various things in slightly different combinations, and that are just the same thing but strictly better than anything from previous updates, obsoleting everything else that gives a bonus.

I know it's too late now, but please, next time, show some creativity. Of course, if nobody could show a tiny bit of creativity on the last Xoriat items, I know it's hopeless. Maybe it's time to swap roles in the team and someone else can do some items?
