Keen Changes suggestion.

[Kalapurka]

Coco and Lynnabel please reconsider the change in Keen weapons, not asking to keep the [W] but change it to something "fun".

We already are encouraged to reach high armor penetration, plus there's a 100% fortification reduction at endgame.

maybe good change would be vorpal hits on enemies leave them vulnerable to critical hits for 3 seconds.

This is only an idea, but I believe Lynnabel is better making "fun" effects.

[Enderoc]

Being the new Keen effect only procs on crit its not tremendously overpowering... makes up for the loss in consistant damage from other effects.
Now a better new effect would increase critical multiplier.
They put that in and make it craftable... people will wet their pants in excitement squealing like little girls lol even if they pretend to keep composure.
It would replace the lackluster vorpal that falls behind in epic/legendary/reaper where multiple thousands of hit points is found in enemies.

theyre not going to read or do this
but heres my take on keen

the problem lies in the intoduction of weighting
from ravenloft
here we went from 5w being 1d6 or whatever,
to 1d6+3 or 1d6+6
basically making keen more inconsequential

keen as adding 2w would be fine
or a line of keen that tops at 2w

but they would need to reduce the weighting sold to us for ravenloft
and go back to the established die or w pattern
then they could raise the w to 7 or 9 or 12
and it would be the same without the weighting
so they could have a 30-40 normal w progression
but those weighted die screwed it all up
nerf for balance

The weighting was to beat all the old items with crazy crit profiles. They'd have to nerf all of those if they did away with the weighting. See this is why they can't win: nerf or buff someone is always unhappy.
