U69 Patch 3 Preview of raid loot

[noinfoavailable]

Get rid of the curse charges and either make it immunity or spell absorption. The heart of sulu was a good quality of life as you were immune to curses the downside it locked you into that artifact. Once it becomes a charged item it becomes effectively useless as spell absorption can do the same but with more charges, just like the dead slot items with negative level absorption. I would sooner go back to drinking pots than waste a slot on an item like that.

Well, it's a tank item, right? So you will have 1 curse absorb per minute from your destiny and then these 10 charges in between.
This item will last longer than you think... hopefully long enough to get to the next shrine or the end of the raid.

Labrythine Edge and Maw is an interesting combo...

What is the other item in the "Last Line of Defense" set, besides the Scimitar?

While you are looking at this particular item, which might be a tank item that will have little value for this effect. The actual roll on is the nerf that we can tell will come to the heart of sulumades as a result. You don't think they will add a sub par effect like this and leave a decent one on the heart?

Looking at the weapon choices i have as a DEX based Ranger (Scimitar) i feel myself a little bit overwhelmed by the "Dripping with Magma" effect.

The new Undying Age weapons have nice effects with Sovereign Vorpal, Dripping with Magma and the customizable Sealed in Fire effect. The 3rd Degree Burns seems ok but is again fire damage + vulnerability and procs only on vorpal.

Looking on the Kindling, the twin Flames of the City raid scimitar i see again a Dripping with Magma effect and if i want the nice set bonus (+1 Critical Multiplier on 19-20) i have to have 2 times Dripping with Magma, which is not beneficial. And again the 2 times Overwhelming Incineration is a pure fire effect.

We should have ether different scimitars like Kindling, the twin Pillars (Flames&Frozen or Sun&Moon or whatever versions) of the City with different enhancements or instead the set bonus add something different instead Overwhelming Incineration e.g. Wrath of the Wild (primal bonus to damage equal to half of your wilderness lore feats) or just an additional effect Better Offhanded (+2W if in off hand).

well we can see the ‘other’ version of the raider box bow

It is a bit sad that these days the go-to for stripping fire immunity is a ... melee. But no wonder as casters are quickly becoming extinct.

It might be if it were true. A fire based alch or sorc is far better at fire stripping than a dragon lord .

Aye, it is indeed - if there is one available. My point was that the poster mentioned fire stripping and decided to mention a DL rather than a caster for it. Not that a DL does it better - but presumeably is much more widely available.

My statement was based off my experience. Asking a dragon lord go fire is an easy way to bring a strip to raids. Alchs and sorcs aren't running around in any of the raids I'm generally in. Tiefling and Elderin are also ways to get the fire strip going. But realistically based off most groups I see, dragon lords are more commonly running around than the others. So yeah, asking a dragon lore to strip fire immunity is the simplest solution for a raid full of people using weapons doing the magma effect.

Aye, its a pretty sad state the game is in if you happen to like casters but its plainly true.

I am getting the feeling its pretty deliberate from SSG. First the caster nerfs, then atleast one interesting new feat for martial dps but none for casters, followed by interesting loot for martial dps in MD, now including the raid, but nothing for casters to increase dps in a meaningful way. And last a raid with mobs with loads of hp where casters will likely again be a burden due to running dry.

Based on the reply from Steelstar I have zero hope that any of the raid gear will be made good for casters - the posts he replied to were not in that direction.

This is a good point. Maybe there could be someone to designate one of the scimitar as *the* off hand version? Maybe *two* scimitar recipes in the trader, and an additional "convert either version to offhand only or something like that, just thinking out loud.

Or hopefully there is also another Feytwisted Scimitar with different enhancements and the set bonus. That could also work out...
