Grats guys ;D we haven't gone in over 2 weeks now haha.

[Cloudius]

My group gave up on BT I think. They log off near run time. D:
Slic ragequit about not getting FS dagger. And we only saw 1 eternal as a group in god knows how many runs.

oh well back to puging. =/

[Veyron]

My group quit, lol

New group hates BT as much as I do, 25k from my spear, yeeeeeeeeeea

[Ryuushin]

We started back up again yesterday but I think we're only going to rush to SW.

#54 - Nothing of course.

Drop thread got deleted on the official forums which is kinda funny.

[Elites]

With the new crafting patch, I'd wait for crafters to stabilize and spend money on getting a master carved weapon or even the lesser tier of it...far superior weapon than SW. I don't see a reason for SW gear anymore other than the eternal set for a decent M.resist but the level 55 cloth AP set is still better for the reason.

[Pyree]

Well, no one is going to be getting Master Carved on my server at least, probably on most servers. Master Noble will definitely be a lot more reasonable to get, though, but I bet they'll still be very expensive.

Edit: Actually, comparing some of the Stormwing weapons with Master Noble weapons... for almost every kind of weapon type, SW > Master Noble. Master Noble has just a couple points extra base damage, but otherwise in almost every case the SW weapon has better stats on it.

[Indalecia]

Thought it was the balic ones that were kick ass?

[Pyree]

Yeah, the balic ones are great. Master Carved would be too, if we could ever get that. But you have to own all 4 balauria forts soooooo...

[Trichocyst]

You have to at one point own the other two forts, you don't have to have all four at the same time. If you ever capture an enemy fort, get your carved shards or whatever they are while you can.

[Pyree]

Oh yeah.. that's right... So maybe some day we will be able to get them

Neither faction has taken any of the other faction's forts on my server yet, but I could see it happening eventually.

#50: Melee Earring
#51: Stormwing's Jerkin, Melee Earring
#52: Mage Earring
#53: Wings

(as of 2.1.0.5)
#54: Wings, Vorpal Essence
#55: Vorpal Essence
#56: Melee Earring, Vorpal Essence

Started to get some luck back recently. SW leather body on #51, 6-slot SW cloth pants on #55, SW plate gloves on #56.

Flarestorm nerf is a bit disappointing though. No challenge at all remaining in that fight with the shroud of ash buff having a 5 second cast time (as opposed to instant), orb damage cut in half if you somehow manage to fail at getting the buff with the 5 second cast time, and no more adds spawning. It is basically the same fight as normal mode now.

[Pooky]

Last night's run:

Stormwing's Greatsword
Vorpal Essence
Blue Combo Platter

We also got Sw Scale Shield and 6 slot Sw leather shoulders, not a bad run.

[Pyree]

Yeah, Flarestorm is a joke now. In my group we don't even run in to get the shroud of ash buff. Shroud is a dot as well, and the damage you end up taking from that is the same as if you skip it entirely and just take the full orb damage. So really you just get to choose if you want to take that damage over time or all at once, and all at once is faster. Fight is just tank n spank now.

[Pooky]

Tonight's SW:

Vorpal Essence
Vorpal Earring (Melee)
Storm Wings
Blue Combo Plate

[Elvis]

flarestorm got nerfed? that was actually a somewhat fun fight just as it was. i havent played after the patch yet.. man thats lame. they make the pve easier and add no pvp
