This looks like it was designed by the same failures who designed MD and lamordia and completely different from the design of the quest loot likely by tonquin.
It is an utter and complete failure devoid of any actual concept of what works and doesn’t work in ddo.
“We haven’t released a mace in a while as raid loot” is not a design philosophy.
You had a chance to hit this out of the park. And you failed.

Ash seems like an odd choice on the dagger for melee builds. Will that effect and the others on it proc for casters or throwers upon casting or throwing?

well i was waiting for raid loot to come out to see if i should tetris/
and theres nothing in this raid list that looks worth needing.
so overall im fine on the old set of gear, and have only one item that ive put into this set.
and that was the bulettes gloves from the wilderness.
there are a couple items from the catalyst search but thats rare stuff so likely never or sometime next year
great xpac. no good loot for me tho
i think itll come out when i gear for a a caster tho
need a raid item with +3 artifact ability stats. only way to break the morgrave set

Aside from using the items for cometics, 99.99% items are quite boring; let alone those insulting Fortitude +14, Melee Alacrity +15% (worse then Speed 30) on a BtC Raid item.
I am keeping my Relentless Raid items, almost all are BtA and very flexible in customizations, and allow me to pass the items to alt toons is a big plus for me.
I will give 1 out of 10 score for the Raid items, if it is not for the comestic look of the armor, I would give 0 out of 10 score.
P.S. As always, thank you, Zavina, for the hard work of posting the new loots

Huh? The quest gear is excellent for dps. At least melee dps. I’m not sure what this loot is missing that you think should be there.

Can you even hit Epic/Legendary Warded mobs with negative levels? It's a super cool affix, but seems useless all around when you melt trash fast and cannot stick stat damage on anything that matters. What other MMO exists out there that you cannot debuff bosses anyway?
Also, smokescreen 40 is kinda cool but you can get enhanced ghostly on ML:8 armor from Lamordia and pickup full Displacement from Dragon Lord. Would be much better at 60%, since that gets degraded in higher skulls anyway - better to just cast/scroll/endless pot. Or give 40% incorp instead. THAT would be super sick.
Also what's up with the non meta weapons? Who the hell is out there using a Morningstar or Light Mace lol?!
The art department killed it as usual though! Finally a helmet worthy of replacing my Saltmarsh lizard folk mask

Every single item displayed BLOWS CHUNKS, *** are you guys doing? This is supposed to be top-tier equipment, and every single item is subpar at best?
1 longbow that nobody would ever use over Undying age; where are the other ranged weapons (Shuri, X-Bows)?
No caster gear that is an improvement over current equipment; in fact, it feels like an intentional slap in the face of all casters.
There is not even 1 item listed that I would use; "deeply disappointing" is being nice.

Theme of the raid.. make blunt objects .... great again
FIrat advice:
Make LGS effects Craftable. Some may want the dagger on ATr as a Caster item but others may want to use it in Melee. Let us simply decide the LGS effect as we did for MD and DoV.
Second Advice:
Be a bit more consistent with Elasticity and Blunt Trauma. Currently, there are 3 item effects that elevate items above the rest:
- +1 Crit Multi on 19~20/Non-Standard Crit Profiles
- Endgame Dots (e.g. Dripping with Magma and to a lesser extend Revel in Blood)
- LGS Effect
Several Weapon Types now got Raid Weapons with all 3 (DoV weapons and half the weapons in this Raid) while the other half doesn't. Most are stuck with 2 out of those 3 options. Especially slashing weapons rarely get Blunt Trauma, with the DoV Handaxe as an exception. Kind of wish we had it on the D.Axe here, especially as Telekinetic and DCs are useless on bosses anyways.

Since it is only preview 1, it may not be a bad idea to put most, if not all, items back to the drawing board.
