Icon of the Bitterwind Trinket
Minimum Level: 29

• Superior Heroism
• Intimidate +22
• Insightful Intimidate +11
• Incite +193%
• Yellow Augment Slot
• Blue Augment Slot
• Set Bonuses Eminence of Winter

Please change the Insightful Intimidate +11 to Quality Intimidate +6..

Why have two Insightful Intimidate Items in the same set? Nocturne Ring has Command (Insight +10)

[Tobril]

Could the Bastard Sword come back?

Melee artificers and vanguards struggle at cap. Having a fantastic item for them would help with build diversity.

[MistaMagic]

Nice to see that bow, khopesh and shuri users have one back, was hoping for the light xbow but I supose we cant have everything

[Stravix]

As someone who loves Van, I would love there to be a 7[W] Daxe, as we already have a good assortment of Bastard Swords available, and Van prefers Daxe to BS anyway, so I was hopeful that it would swap to Daxe, but removal is the worst case scenario.

Any chance on the fewtwisted raid chest and shoving a few of the weapons in there?

[Arkat]

Blood of Blossoms Trinket
Minimum Level: 29

• Enhanced Ki +3
• Wisdom +21
• Insightful Wisdom +10
• Sheltering +55
• Blue Augment Slot
• Green Augment Slot

Still wish this could have been part of the Eminence of Summer set.

The Changestone Raid Trinket
Minimum Level: 29

• One of the following:
  
  • Strength
  • Dexterity
  • Constitution
  • Intelligence
  • Wisdom
  • Charisma

  • Deadly
• One of the following:
  
  • Speed
  • Insightful Deadly
  • Insightful Accuracy
• Yellow Augment Slot

• Set Bonuses Eminence of Summer

Still think this will be awful if its powers are randomly generated.

The Magmatic Reaver Handaxe

A raid Handaxe. Joy.

No love for you Dwarves, apparently!

Please change this to a Dwarven War Axe.

Aerania, the Boltbow Long Bow
Minimum Level: 29

• Ranged Alacrity 25%
• Red Augment Slot
• Purple Augment Slot

Ok, a Raid bow. That's great. Thanks!

On question, though.

Does the 25% Ranged Alacrity means it's only going to fire 3% faster than if you had the Haste effect on you?

The Wicked Blade Khopesh
Minimum Level: 29
Damage Dice: 7.5[1d8+3]
Critical Profile: 17-20/x3

Thank you for re-adding the Khopesh. I'd run the raid to get this (and the bow).

Leafblade Shuriken

Critical Profile: 20/x2
Enhancement Bonus: +15

• Currently a work in progress but the loot guy on Lamannia has it in stock so thought it worth mentioning in the notes.

Hopefully, this will have Keen V (amongst other nice things) on it.

There's still gonna be raid augments, huh?

Hmm...

Hopefully, they won't be taking up space for the other raid items in the end chest/s. Maybe they're in other chests in the raid?

Could the Bastard Sword come back?

Melee artificers and vanguards struggle at cap. Having a fantastic item for them would help with build diversity.

Agreed.

Replace the dagger (we have enough great raid daggers already) with the Bastard Sword, please.

[Rhegnok]

Please change the Insightful Intimidate +11 to Quality Intimidate +6..

Why have two Insightful Intimidate Items in the same set? Nocturne Ring has Command (Insight +10)

An idea that was presented during the Dev event of preview 1 was to change the Insightful Intimidate +11 to Exceptional Intimidate +11 to free high-intim tanks from the Stolen Signet of ir'Wynarn. That comment was received well by the devs and we were told that Lynnabel was working on exactly that change already. I'm surprised it is not in this preview, but that is an expected change.

[Stravix]

Ok, a Raid bow. That's great. Thanks!

On question, though.

Does the 25% Ranged Alacrity means it's only going to fire 3% faster than if you had the Haste effect on you?

both Haxe and Daxe are in short supply, so while I would love this to be a Daxe myself, a Haxe is good IMO, and should be kept as such (unless we could get a way to swap it to the other, kinda like Blackrazor and Soulrazor, but that kinda just feels like a dream at this point)

But to the point with the bow. The answer is yes, for now. If memory serves they mentioned something about animation changes to happen alongside HW so the alacrity issue would be a non-issue, but don't quote me as it's been a while since it's initial tease and my memory is fuzzy.

That's what it is currently on Lamania.. it must not have been changed in the notes.

[Azoyhn]

I like this. Really do. Love to see the feedback being implemented, but lost the Bastard Sword (changed to Longsword based on Lynnabel in the previous lammania) and didn't gain the Sceptre of Titania back. I liked having the Quality Devotion on that sceptre. It made sense and it would've helped the healers out a bit after losing the belt, but oh well. Can't get everything we want.

Nice job team, good work.

[Yamani]

On question, though.

Does the 25% Ranged Alacrity means it's only going to fire 3% faster than if you had the Haste effect on you?

Atm no, as bows cap out at around 22% at 30. After the bow pass yea?

[Hawkwier]

Positive changes generally. Changestone needs reworking though. Either that or drop it entirely and make room for another weapon.

[Arkat]

Atm no, as bows cap out at around 22% at 30. After the bow pass yea?

So that mod is useless now and marginally useful in the future.

I see.

Maybe raising it to 30% Alacrity (or some other appropriate percentage) would be more helpful to bow users? Just spitballing here.

[apep1412]

Should Hyrsam's Fiddle have a second set bonus to match other Feywild artifacts?

[Azoyhn]

It is in here. It is +11 exceptional already. I'm on Lamma.

[Khurse]

Magmatic Reaver (Hand Axe)looks like the blade is facing backwards.
The Wicked Blade (Khopesh) doesn't have a new graphic

[Arkat]

both Haxe and Daxe are in short supply, so while I would love this to be a Daxe myself, a Haxe is good IMO, and should be kept as such (unless we could get a way to swap it to the other, kinda like Blackrazor and Soulrazor, but that kinda just feels like a dream at this point).

It would be nice if they'd keep supporting the Schism Crafting system.
