Nice but the crit multiplier is way low, attack speed is too long, and should come as a 210+ version. =D I like the epsilon purge proc though =D
Would we really want a weapon with 1.3 sec recharge and a guaranteed capping AS?
I like BM as attack skill. Why diseace AC though? If we can dream make it poison at least. Personally I would have a lower max damage or a lil slower recharge on it.
I actually like the tiger for us - the only problem is the bow requirement.
A ql 250ish tiger with a BM attack skill instead of bow for AR and easier equipment (say those 2k BM) would be something I'd consider great. A tiger with a effortless 11s AS seems a little too good.
Not so much a fan of the epsilon purge. Enough procs in the game allready and even less people would duel me if they fear getting their buffs removed.
I agree that max dmg might be a bit high, could lower that and maybe up crit a little. Disease AC is the same as Poison AC, just... well I dunno why i wrote that, been used in game before. Proc was just added as a fun thing really. And with the AS i really don't know.. Everyone else got insanely overpowered weapons in LE.. Wouldn't make such a big difference I think. If damage was balanced out a bit so the weapon would hit for about half a cap, and with the weapon attack speed its 12.3 sec AS. Not sure how much recharge would be needed, but lets say the number that comes up with maxed AS skill, 275 scope, and 2 ql 300 AS imps in, at 220.
Ah doh. Didn't think about the disease damage type... now I feel like a newb. Seriously doh, I actually knew that too. >_<
Nice try Xenon! You gots rickrolled! =P
Why don't you ask the Silverback docs how many of them have un-equipped their mk6 because it was "too good for a doc"?
Short answer: yes. Just make the equip time too high for people to hotswap it (5sec isn't really long enough, probably 12sec would be needed).
Capped AS still only occurs once every 11 seconds. You'll still be missing a large number of regular shots on any DEF prof. You still will be completely unable to alpha any prof.
Would everyone use it? No. I'm sure many would prefer to stick with great PvM damage and/or the 1K PvP DoT. Would it give a new viable option? Sure. And options are good.
I wouldn't use it ALL the time, but it would be an option for tower wars and in a duel against someone who has so much DEF that our normal weapons have no chance. Not so much for most Shen/Pistol users (due to high MM/MR reqs making swapping weapons still too much hassle for most unless planning to stay that way for awhile). But for those who have decided to specialize in AS it would be a cold-swappable alternative. The silverback docs might even switch so that they have some alternatives.
I would definitely grab one for PvP. I'd keep my arbalest+fists for duelling situations, but having a hard hitting constant AS would be nice on BS and in some duels.
I'd REALLY like it if the game considered it a bow even though it didn't have bow reqs, so that bow special attack was plausible.
And yes, I know this whole idea isn't going to happen. Just blabbing.
Using Alb arrows would be nice yes, but then bow has to be main attack skill. With BioMet as Attack skill, there will be a better chance to land some perks.. Well at least the CoNC ones. Could be an option to make it 51% Bow and 49% BioMet. Even if this weapon never happens, at least we get some opinions on what docs want in a pvp weapon.
Oh I wish I had pre-equiped a Silverback, no doubt that. But even for the Silverback it's harder to cap the AS speed and docs that have it equiped use one with a lower QL and less damage.
Silverback or bow, both would make good templates for a doc designed as weapon, though I personally find the tiger fitting us better.
My question was more in regard to a capping AS weapon that can be speed capped without effort. For silverback and tiger there are bigger sacrifices to make.
I look at it this way.. I would love to see a wpn Desinged that played to the strengths of our Symbs... as we are the only prof who MUST use support symbs, (and we don't have an alternative symb) Docs are screwed (no AI eye either) and we must make a sacrifice in our symbs more so then other profs when selecting the IMPs needed as replacements. How many full support symb docs do you see? I would dare say "0", nada, zilch! BOW is in our symbs, it has a viable AS we would LIKE to see for PvP and some PVM.
I used to be all symbs too while leveling up. I only used imps for twinking or to keep my weapon out of OE.
personally i'd prefer we just get pistol into support symbs, but it might be easier to wait for a big update where symbs get remade/redesigned.
gee thanks. now the "mmm-bob" song is stuck in my head. >_<
Aww too bad. You have such confidence in your sentence I was wondering if you heard they considered updating symbs.
I can imagine them doing some single new symbiant like the syndicate ones, have a hard time imagining them updating the symb sets.
But yeah, unlikely they would change old symbs.
