Mordred Shadowblades
I want to know what mythic is doing for mordred shadowblades? First they nerfed LA....yeah i agree it was a little overpowered....but the nerf, well it hurt SBs everywhere. On mordred we found a slight way around the LA nerf, by using other realms weapons in offhand for more offhand damage. Unfair? IMO no, we still get owned by other realm stealthers...and well right now it seems pretty much even. If i run into a rr7 inf/NS yeah i exspect to die. My point isnt the nerf itself...i mean first they nerf left axe...then they MAKE us use it. Well to do this, this late in the game...Mordred SBs better be getting somthing REALLY NICE. Look at what we are going to have to do to fix our characters. One full realm respec....then RA respec. Thats just a scratch of what we have to do. I currently have a full MP quality leather suit...and fully Sced and overcharged. Plus two legendary swords. I think total in armor and weapons im sitting at around 15 plat spent. So in order to fix my character to make it "Mythic safe" im going to have to spend another 15 plat just to get back to where i am now....but only do less damage. Then you think about quest items...jewelry...and time to redo this for a total template overhaul and the time envolved. This isnt a rant about getting nerfed or about them fixing a problem in the game. This is about the plat and time envolved...and all the wasted plat mordred Sbs are going to have to replace. I would like to know if mythic or the team lead has thought about this at all...and what they are going to do?

Re: Mordred Shadowblades
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Using another realm's weapon in your offhand allowed you to keep the positive mechanics of Left Axe (100% double swings, all the time) while removing the negative effects (no damage reduction) at the cost of being unable to use Left Axe styles (but, of course, since there's no damage reduction you don't need to spec any Left Axe at all- you already have the full effect).
Is that the case?
If so- How is that not a bug exploit? How is it fair that you get to have a practically free 70+ Celtic Dual/Dual Wield?
I saw this change coming miles away. If anyone didn't, I'm honestly surprised.

Re: Mordred Shadowblades
First off im not saying its not a bug or exploit. The only server this effects is Mordred though. All other the other servers you cant use other realm weapons. Thats not even the point i was making. The point I was making is what are the mordred Sbs going to do about armor...and weapons they already have on thier Sbs? I mean I use two legendary swords that cost a bit of money. What does mythic plan to do about that...im sure its going to be the usual reply "umm we are sorry", and thats about it. Thats what im getting at. I have full MP leather suit also Sced for my spec....that wasnt cheap either. Basically we arnt just screwed cause its a class fix...we are screwed out of pretty much all our item and armor. As far as te 70+ celtic dual/dual wield...im not a numbers cruncher so i havnt a clue. I know with my current spec as a SB....not RR5 i can take down a good amount of classes solo if i get the perf...but then again alot of that damamge is due to the legendary weapons. When you perf for around 400....plus a crit....plus weapon procs....plus offhand/weapon proc. Thats a lot of damage. Its just the fact that we are going to be out ALOT of money just trying to get our armor and weapons back in check. Just saying Sbs better not get the shaft like they always do.
edit - also, sig only one time per thread. thanks Edited by: Llabak Tharr at: 3/30/04 7:49 am

Dude, I'm not gonna say I don't feel bad for you -- cause I know it sux to have your abilities reduced.
But it's hard to garner sympathy when all the other SBs out there have been gutted for ages and you've been enjoying the reprise for a good while.
Avoiding the negative aspects of Left Axe mechanics until now to be competative is a understood.
Up until now our shard used to enjoy a 20% relic bonus and on the whole Infs/NS were VERY hard -- now that it's gone it's just crazy.
So, I understand your concerns (and yes, it's cost me a couple plat for respec/SC-suit also) -- but welcome to Mythic's vision of how SBs should be treated, i.e., welcome to last week.

It's not just SBs.
They didn't give manachanters a whole new suit for their light-spec either.
It just isn't gonna happen. It sucks but I'm not sure I disagree with their position- trying to give out entirely new armor to people who deserve it without letting the system be abused is basically impossible.
