Remove or relogate the SoS

[Felsyn]

The sword of shadows is too good. It makes so many items useless.

Nerf it. Or atleast add many level appropriate replacements using ur fancy new sun/moon system.

We should not be all chasing the same sword. This is obvious.

Everyone uses the SoS or a falchion. So exciting SSG.

No.

 

[Felsyn]

No.

Ya. Or, give any reason why not. Besides that you use it.

Don't have one, never have had one, will probably never get one.

That said, given it's difficulty to get it is fine the way it is, and there are a number of 'close seconds' that can function until you do manage to get one.

So, Again, No.

Next time just say u like how OP the SoS is and save everyone reading.

Close seconds:

Every single other item because of its crit range

So its OK because this one wep exists, that invalidates most because of its crit range, because it is semi hard to get, like all the other items it makes useless.

They fired toro and closed the mega thread.
Every complaint is new

 

[Hobgoblin]

i see no reason for this - it makes tr easier so as to get to the fun part so lets not take it away.

i hate nerfs in general and this seems to just cause pain and not joy

This guy uses a SoS 'it makes every life easy and the same pls no'

 

[Felsyn]

If so many items are similar why fear a nerf to SoS?

 

[Hobgoblin]

i get it you hate fun.

and it just makes it easier not that the game is hard

nothing makes you have to use sos.

if you dont like it dont use it.

i like it i will use it

No SoS is just a grand example of why we cant have stuff like vorpal or really anything cool anymore.

People are too attached. Doomed to have a game where the same sword is best for levels and levels and levels because...

So ? In PnP you took you rusty copper sword at level 1 and use it till the end of the campaign on whatever level it would be.
Nobody cares.

Spoken like someone who doesn't have one.

Theres a bunch of other increased threat/mult range items that are exciting chase items. SoS just happens to be the crown jewel for heroics in particular.

Heroics? A large number of quarterstaves, the ToEE weapons, phosphor, carnifex, sky pirates daggers, the adamantine ore weapons, whirlwind, abbot preq handaxe, forgotten handaxe, tiefling blade, adamantine knuckles, brush hook, etc etc. - are plenty powerful.

In epics theres a lot of alternatives - Epic Xuum, Drow weapons, oathblades, quarterstaves, citw weapons, epic mirage, the tbc rapier, etc etc.

Again... I have a number of these bis weapons for specific level ranges but I don't use them every life because I don't mind playing other weapon styles instead of pigeonholing/forcing myself to play the same 2h weapon over and over. You don't either.

There's always going to be "the best" in one way or another, unless every weapon is the same - which is a far lamer option. What's wrong with letting a relatively hard-to-get raid weapon be the best?

Oh look... another "it's not the way I want to play, so it's the wrong way" post.

You might have a point if somehow the game *forced* you to use this or any other specific item, but it doesn't, so you don't. You're free to choose and use or not use whatever gear you wish.

Instead, you're just advocating for the game to be made less fun for many players. Games are supposed to be MORE fun, not less fun.

If you don't like it, don't use it. It's that simple.

 

[Teh_Troll]

The Carnifax is too powerful, nerf it! No wonder the kobolds hate us!

 

[Blerkington]

The vast majority of builds in DDO don't have a use for the SoS.

Those of them that do can achieve a similar damage output using other weapons like falchions.

You seem to be aware of both these facts.

So what exactly is the problem here? That a small minority of builds, and only during certain parts of the levelling process, have a clear good choice that is not necessarily the best choice, that requires a significant amount of effort to get, for one gear slot?

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.
