Congrats Sharzade!

[Wulf_Ratbane]

Since that weapon isn't exactly "ideal" I assume you took one for the team.

In the interest of science.

Much thanks, Sharzade.

[Wulf_Ratbane]

Thanks, you could have just pointed out I needed to fix the calculation. No need to be a sarcastic jerk about it.

It was 2 in the morning when I was doing the math, and my eyes were bleeding :P

Dude, come on, that was my light touch.

Serious sarcastic jerkiness will scour the flesh from your bones.

The Salt II sword? Look again.... multiple images in that posting.

I think he means you wouldn't really use it in quests...

And I agree.

There are currently no good aligned mobs that are affected by frost, and also barely any good enemies either. Definately wouldn't waste 24 large ingredients for that weapon.

Great job Sharzade, appreciate your work greatly.

Are the Eldarins in Running with the Devils affected by Frost? Because I know the Teiflings in that quest are Good aligned.

Running with the Devils, vs the Eladrins.

They are good, they are not immune to frost, although they are resistant. (Should have Frost Resistance 10)

Are you sure the Tieflings are good aligned? They should be evil.

Does the Salt II effect have a debuff like the dot from Magma II? I am guessing it would be an AC debuff.

Im forming the opinion that super-shards have a minor use on weapons -- better than without. Weapons attack faster than once a second so it shouldn't take too long to get a special effect. Super-shards that make "guard" effects on accessories are almost-useless given the low percentage chance and the relative low frequency of incoming attacks. Maybe a tank-type character that plans on getting hit a lot (?) would appreciate a guard effect. My casters might only get hit a couple dozen times during an adventure, so the "guards" do not seem very attractive. This is just an assumption, on the "low percentages" as I don't have a super-shard item yet.

For people that think an extra 8 large materials and large cell is not a big deal -- they might as well craft the "guard" effect. For me, a person that PUGs and often loses at part 4 or skips it, it would take me many months or a year to craft enough super-shards. I have 3 characters that probably want 2 green steel items each. I may skip super-sharding and hope that Module 7 brings deconstruct-crafting options such that I can pull a supreme shard out of a green steel item and then add a super-shard to it.

All four of the negative quasi-elementals will have that problem, inherent in their recipe.

To get Salt, Ash, Dust, or Vacuum, you've got to take Negative as tier 1 or tier 2, and that means harshly nerfing the weapon. Unless you want it for PvP (which is silly, and where even there it's inferior), the negative weapon effects are plain worse than the positive or elemental options.

the Teifling of the 12 is evil, the rest are Eladrin aka gaelics? (I know my spelling isn't right.) They are good and should have cold reisstance, however...

if you want to go way back, you could always soundly use it in Purge the Heretics.

Eladrin... I think Ghaeles and Bralanis... may be others in there... cant remember right now

You don't have to "nerf" your weapon, you can always add "Heightened Awareness 1 or 2" for the AC bonus and not suffer having the "evil" taint.

That or nab +6 strength or 5% negative absorption. These would both be more useful than getting Unholy. If you're a Wizard doing it, you could nab the +6 int option.

maybe, we have to remember this form time to time...the game is not finnished yet... what I mean we have no idea what lies around the next mod, maybe more quests w/ good algined foes....maybe evil pc will be able to us down the road as well...you never know so what might seem to be of little value now might not be later.....

I remember pulling a cursespewing of shattlemantle weapon a couple of months ago.....someone in party said "vendor trash", I think of that every time i use it in the vale and it's quest's

Nothning showing up in my combat log when being hit at least.

[Mad_Bombardier]

Nothning showing up in my combat log when being hit [with Corrosive Salt] at least.

[MysticTheurge]

Nothning showing up in my combat log when being hit at least.

That probably makes sense.

Magma: Fire DoT + slow debuff
Salt: Unblockable DoT + no debuff

It is unclear what these weapons will be exactly. The mineral affect provides a transmuter which is a great addition to the weapon and what if these weapons have a similar affect. Ash looks like it will probably have enervation imagine dual wielding enervation weapons. If enervation happens 1% of the time not much to get excited about but if its like the transmuter quality on mineral where it is there all the time. The vacuum guard has trap the soul, but what if the weapon is a vorpal instead of a trap the soul effect - this seems very plausible because you can't really have a vorpal guard can you?
