Some light at the end of the dark tunnel please?

[Arkat]

Maybe it was just that.../shrug
thanks Arkat, I'll still take a new bow I suppose!

Sure thing.

So will I, btw.

I kinda hate how all the 'cool' staves are non-wood and thus can't benefit from shillelagh. Gulthias staff has an awesome graphic but it's terrible

Agreed. This should really be taken into consideration with the introduction of any new staff, as it's one subtle-yet-unique option that leads to more variety. Using a wooden material opens up more build opportunities for Druids and multi-class characters willing to put 1 (or 6) levels into the class to improve the weapon.

I feel you. That being said, the spear that the LOB uses doesn't really strike me as "wooden" :P

I'll keep this valid point in mind for the future, you're right that we haven't done a great job at filling that hole.

Excellent, thanks for weighing in on this, Lynnabel. If not the Cannith raids, perhaps there is an opportunity to add a wooden staff to Legendary VoD? Anything to spark some ingenuity on a viable quarterstaff build would be greatly appreciated.

how about just add real spears to the loot table?

I want to add Pole-Arms to the weapons table

A specialized exotic class requiring the extra feat. Lances, Awl-Pikes, Halberds, Spears, Fauchards, Naginatas and Lucerne Hammers.

Massive damage, slow attack, two handed weapons *drool*

Imagine the carnage with charge attacks & feats....

Getting away from quarterstaves ...how about an updated Deathnip?

Pretty much still the best Heavy Pick ...

If we're going for new versions of the old tome page turn-ins, i'd rather have a legendary version of phosphor, expanded critical range & all, as a very solid thing for an aasimar scourge or follower of amaunator

[CaptainSpacePony]

Does this pique your interest?

Afraid not. Well I mean it will make a superb cosmetic but, while it sounds and looks cool, it just isn't strong enough for an end game raid wpn.

Don't get me wrong: I LOVE stick builds, but they are underpowered once they outgrow Sireth. This one just isn't enough to make them competitive with other endgame raid weapons.

These items are all quite interesting items, but I'm looking for an answer to the real pressing question here....

When will we get to wield the frying pan that Skinny the miniboss uses in Siegebreaker?

I can wield brooms, broccoli, flowers, garbage can lids, snowballs, books, etc. but not one frying pan greataxe, rolling pin club, or chef hat.

Frying Pan Maul, Rolling Pin Club, should be a giant cleaver for a greatsword, maybe a bladed blender looking thing for a great axe? Hmmm I sense a theme. Wasn't there a cooking competition quest that was being bandied about somewhere? With a troll chef? Somewhere deep in the suggestions forum no doubt.

Maybe those gingerbread cookie monsters from the anniversary quest could be in it.

I could even imagine a wooden bucket as a helmet. I've actually seen that in an offline RPG.



Edit : That brought me an idea : What about a certain sound when an enemy hits a steel shield (or steel bucket) ? I mean, that would perhaps become irritating at one point (because too often), but on the other hand it would give us aural indication of when hit ... (making damagine would be a different thing, though ...)

Great Clubs can be made of wood as well

[R1ncewind]

Hopefully it gets better in the hands of a WF/BF.

This, Because it lacks a lot a hum power, give it a x3 critical or an extended critical profile for an easy fix, but the others effects are circunstancial at best. If you want to do something against specific foes or type of enemies ( aka casters) make it that there is nothing that come close in the same level or weapon type that fight that enemy.

[rabidfox]

That dagger is certainly something alright. I fully expect at least a month after release before someone figures it out.

All I want to know is if the dagger wielded by the Hand of Vecna results in a bigger gain power or not...
