So a 513 delay Death Scythe+1 becomes 498 Delay. Is that ultimatly better than 3 STR and 20 HP?

I got a Sword Strap, okay so my first test of it is on the final ToAU BCNM but which one would ultimatly be beter for DRK in general? Crit hit+3% Might be nice with Trecidim, STR+3 would be good for WSs now that it's also 3 Att, or Double Att+2% with Brutal and /WAR?

Decisions decisions

Any idea what the goldsmithing cap on platinum grips is?

Wiki has it as 62-63. (I assume somebody got that from the guild listing.)

[Septimus]

Any chance they just drop from all KS30 (or most?) and not just ODS?

Hmm...

If I say "only from ODS", do you think it will cause people to flood it, in turn causing a flood of Serket rings on the AH crashing the prices down to something I wouldn't mind spending?

If so, "They only drop from ODS".

[evilpaul]

Say Double Dragonian so people will flood that and I can bum an unwanted pair of Destroyers off somebody. I might actually be able to get people to come do some KS30s now though.

Well, it's been posted, but yeah, just got a Sword Grip earlier to check it out, turned my 504 Byakko's into a 490~ delay Byakko's, but that's still 3% more DoT right?

Here's the rub. If you have a Rajas and Brutal (which are now pretty much undeniably best for 2 handed weapon TP gain) you get 101 TP in 7 hits any sub, and to 99 TP in 6 hits /sam (which means as long as one of the two extra hits from RR connect, you'll be at 100). By equipping Sword Strap, this changes to 8/7 hits to 100. A small increase in dot, but a relatively large jump in time needed to WS.

Obviously 6 hit SAMs are going to be in the same boat, I think Scythe is long enough to be ok, not sure about GSD/Polearm.

[VZX]

err.. is it me or this update ruined BLU as average DD, making it drop behind almost everyone else?
also since the BLU Roll from corsair is useless compared to, say, DRK or SAM ones (that got seriously buffed), this is even worst.

would like an opinion from former BLUs, please.

Unless BLU physical spells got updated yeah I'd say so. I say that cause BLU physical spells are calculated as if they were ws's with a 2-handed weapon, DMG 83 if I recall from the vzx page if you cap blu skill merits (or close to that if I'm off on that #). So basically BLU's now are like a pre-update 2-hander for our main source of damage now. Better than pre-update 2-handers cause of the boost from sword damage, but overall far behind post-update 2-handers.

Still hot for soloing imps but who isn't now? Those who have BST75 have some fun things to play with BLU/BST if they're not solo. But blu burn on colibri is still gonna do about 22k/hr with competent people, so soon as I find some of those I'll be happy about BLU again. For now I'll just party on rdm.

I have different opinion on this

BLU doesn't get shafted that hard, unless you're really a hardcore meat eater.
Basically, 1hander "nerf" gives direct hit to all those who has high attack (/point zerk), BLU have fairly low attack, and still can rely on spells for most of their damage. I think among 1hander/DW, blu get the least impact.

By the way,
Have anyone figured out anything special on glory crown? other than inventory-1
Also the rings... any hidden/latent effect?

[Tomiko]

So many threads, not really sure if it belongs in this one but:

I saw a couple synth recipes for the new beastmen hats, has anyone seen/heard/know the recipes for all of them yet (QQ hat specifically), also, is it a quest like the other beastmen hats? or are all the mats available from AH/farming?

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=22734

Think everything was answered there.

Recap:

No quest (except maybe for HQ?)
Latent active in Halvung, Arrapago, Mamook
Recipes on that thread (at least Troll, Mamook & Qiqirn)

[Sagacious Sundi]

I'm guessing no HQ hats till the Pit opens up, since each hat helps with some Pit-related things for whatever mobs that beastman keeps as pets. (Troll: Vermin, Lamia: Undead, etc.)

Do it. >_> I need one for my MP resting set. :D

[Kiarax]

Nothing on Dandy/Fancy Spectacles yet? Haven't seen any info on them anywhere and I assumed they were crafted since Fancy are just a HQ version of the Dandy Spectacles.

I really want to know where they are too.

Not sure if this was mentioned before (search certainly showed otherwise), but Balrahn's Ring is 3mp/tick refresh.

Are you sure?!

[Datonare]

Double check you didn't have a bard sing ballad on you with a storm fife.
Same thing happened in my ls earlier today
Edit: It is 1/tic

[thegilseller]

Are you sure?!

Fairly sure. Was redoing the first bc of the new mission batch, and was getting 4mp/tick (no refresh gear EXCEPT Balrahn's ring, and wasn't subbing anything that gave autorefresh, so all that was giving refresh was sanction and ring)

The hell? 1/tick? Why was I getting 4/tick with sanction refresh active, and 3/tick when my mp was too high for sanction refresh?

Well I'm at Kirin now, so I can't recheck that easily. Perhaps someone else can go check?

[divisortheory]

1/tic, tested 5 second ago

[Indalecia]

I was soooo pissed for a second there. >.>

[tymora]

1 tick for me. Happen to have Glory crown on? lol...If so...it is sick.

[thegilseller]

Then what was going on in my case? o.Oa Very odd.

I should have been wearing it at the time. Also, the flag was up in my MH, incase that had a role to play.
