Thorn of Cormanthyr - Rapier

Think something like Char, the Hellstom’s Edge or Outburst
  • 3rd degree burn
  • 15d6
  • Metaline or Aligned
  • Planar Sheering or similar (having an extra upgrade is nice)

Additional effect when used with nothing in off hand:
  • Guard breaking
  • Cursed Maelstrom
  • Extra critical multiplier
While not sure exactly what to put here think key is something with guard breaking without need to have a buckler. Why it might be nice to have it had some additional effects when used with nothing in off hand. Another option is to make it a set and creating and off hand item that is a simple glove and lets you be treated as nothing in off hand.

With this being mainly a melee rapier I would like to see it be purely melee focused. With no spell stuff in the mix. These can be fitted elsewhere and if you only have one weapon you want it to shine, though it can be a spell implement.

Think someone mentioned it but having keen on raid wrap is a let down as it’s nice to have additional use from taking improved critical feat and keen just defeats the point.

One last suggestion:

A new concept, not sure how difficult it'll be to implement.

I would like weapon sets but the sets work with other weapons held by other players in your group/raid.

So for example:

The five Elfblades of Cormanthyr. Each of the elfblades have different abilities and are differentiated by the different phases of the moon (New, Gibbous, Quarter, Crescent, Full). If a group is wielding 2 of 5 blades that unlocks special set bonuses, 3 of 5 blades then more set bonuses etc. etc.

I think this will encourage party interaction and group play. Just a thought.

ARCANE ARCHER LONGBOW

The idea is to create an adaptive bow designed for an Arcane Archer build that specializes in imbue dice and elemental arrows. Since the build requires spell power, this bow could also be suitable for a hybrid build, which explains the "on hit & spells" effects and the bonuses to DCs/caster level of the corresponding element. The design concept revolves around the elements of cold, fire, electric, and acid, with force damage being excluded due to its inherent advantages (in my opinion, of course).
Fun fact : The bow would have a base element when no elemental arrow imbue is active, potentially random, allowing for four different variants of the bow to loot in its base state OR a bow with no bonuses/effects if no elemental arrow imbue is activated.

**We could also imagine a new quiver with the same theme, which would have unique and special effects and a set bonus when equipped with this bow**

Key Features and Effects:

  • Basic Bonuses:
    • +x Bonus to imbue dice.
    • Grants the feat Enhanced Elemental Dice for free. If you already have the feat, its bonus is increased to +3 imbue dice instead of +1.
    • Wisdom to Hit & Damage.
  • Adaptive Bonuses: The bow’s bonuses and effects change based on the active elemental arrow imbue:
    • Alchemical Attunement on Hit & Spells: Functions like the acid DoT effect, but the damage is of the same element as the active elemental arrow imbue.
    • On Hit & Spells Effects:
      • Acid: Stack of acid vulnerability & Reduced PRR.
      • Cold: Stack of cold vulnerability & Reduced MRR.
      • Electric: Stack of electric vulnerability & Reduced PRR & MRR.
      • Fire: Stack of fire vulnerability & Reduced PRR & MRR.
    • On Hit Effects: DC: 20 + Wisdom modifier + Enchantment OR Evocation Spell Bonuses.
      • Acid: Petrify.
      • Cold: Freeze.
      • Electric: Paralyze.
      • Fire: Fear.
    • Increased DCs & Caster Level: Boosts DCs and caster level of spells corresponding to the active elemental arrow imbue.
This design would allow for a versatile, element-focused bow that adapts to the needs of an Arcane Archer or a hybrid build, offering a range of strategic options and enhancing the elemental synergy of the character.

***I'm not proposing elemental damage on hit or elemental burst on criticals because those types of damage aren't viable or useful at high levels. I believe it's better to have effects and damage that adjust based on the build and the character's attributes.
Focusing on effects that adjust based on the build and character attributes would enhance the viability and effectiveness of the build at higher levels, while offering deeper and more meaningful customization for specialized players. This could also encourage a richer diversity of gameplay, where each player can truly tailor their style according to their preferences and strengths.***

If we compare to Citw raid loot weapons, which were ml 23 and also upgraded via tokens dropping in raid (commendations), then expanded crit range/multiplier or loaded die would be nice. Pinion and Sireth are popular today and the raid still gets run regularly for them.
 
Yamani

Tyrannical Overlord
Sun's Fury (Longbow)
1. Legendary Radiance. 14d6 light damage, and blind on critical hit.
2. Legendary light attunement: Attacks and offensive spells apply 100% chance 10d20 stacking light damage over time, stacked up to 5 times. (matching ICD of earth attunement)
3. Elasticity.
4. Sovereign Vorpal.
5. Upgrade path (matching raid weapons from Fires over morgrave so 2 tiers)
A. Fetters of Unreality
B. Unleash the sun(Small chance to do AoE (sunburst) 10d440 Light damage, and DC 120 Blind against will save)

This would be a list of things I'd like to see in order of importance.
  • Add a Mythic boosting system for all items that is deterministic with appropriate resources such as threads or collectibles. The Mythic boosting system would not need new affixes the existing ones would be sufficient. Existing affixes should be preserved.
  • Consider using one primary stat to theme items with a maximum of +15 for non-weapons and shields. The rest of the item could be composed of assorted augment slots and sun/moon slots. Maybe throw in a small affix for these that could be worked towards similar to how Sharn items have a small number of items you can work towards.
  • Add +6 insightful stat augments to the raid loot table.
  • Add +3 quality stat augments to the raid loot table.
  • For these augments you could also have a way to craft them with threads / remnants.
  • The raid weapons should be more of the finesse variety with 1 or 2 extra secondary stats for hit/damage such as dexterity/int/charisma.
  • Generation 3 raid filigree?

Hello everyone, happy release day for Myth Drannor! I've got a topic for discussion during today's downtime:

We're working on the Raid Loot for a raid that's coming out a little down the line, and would like some insight into what effects players would like to see on that loot. Here's what we're looking at:

Unchangeable Parts:
  • There will be around 20 named items in this Raid's loot table.
  • The items will be Minimum Level 33.
  • There can potentially be an upgrade system (to the named items in the raid, Myth Drannor quest loot, or both)
  • There can not be an extensive build-your-own crafting system (like Dino Bone crafting)
  • Sun and Moon Augment Slots can only exist on the slots they exist on in Myth Drannor quest loot
  • There is new, unique art for the following item types:
    • Rapier
    • Shortsword
    • Shuriken
    • Kukri
    • Longbow
    • Scimitar
    • Falchion
    • Orb
    • Quarterstaff
    • Throwing Dagger
    • Kama
    • Large Shield
      • This means we are aiming to make these item types for this Raid - Feedback on these item types is especially important
      • It also means we are unlikely to make items for this Raid that need art but aren't on this list (Helms, armor, cloaks, other weapons, etc), though it is possible - It just wouldn't have unique art. As we said above, upgrading some of the Myth Drannor quest loot could be an option here.

Useful Feedback:
For the purpose of this thread, actionable constructive feedback factors in the following:
  • Contains what you do want to see, not (just) what you don't want to see
  • Is specific about effects when possible, or frames out the purpose of the item you want to see
  • Stays within the rules of the Unchangeable Parts above
And please remember: This thread is in Official Discussions. Official Discussions do not permit debates between players and are more heavily moderated than typical threads. Stay on topic!

Guardbreaking on all the weapons please.

Melee Artificer Freak
On some of the raid weapons I'd like to see:
  • an improved Overwhelming Stealer of Souls (stonger PK effect)
  • improved Polycurse also fits in the chaotic/wild magic theme
  • useful AOE effects (can be DPS or CC)
  • debuffing effects
  • similar to Scion of Limbo the weapon should give different useful stacking melee/caster/ranged dps buffs and 1 neutral but cool looking confetti like buff each 1 minute (not the same effect as the Scion of Limbo feat)
  • Quad Damage

How about a pair of kamas with a set bonus that adds +2.5 W and some exceptional melee power.
Throw in some chaos blast and burst on one and light blast and burst on the other to fit with the theme of wild magic. Scale the blasts and bursts with Melee Power.
Add guardbreaking to one and Salt to the other.
PRR debuff on one, MRR debuff on the other.
When paired, add a chance to do a Wild Strike
