can't believe i just asked that question, but I heard of another swordsman specific weapon coming out. My questions?
Why?
How?
<insert 3 letter word>?
They got their damn scythes, and from what I hear, this thing is the same, it just looks different. We got the energy lance...woopdedo, it's impossible to loot the schematic, harder to loot 2 NS motors at a time, yet harder to get a weaponsmith to assemble it proficiently, and even harder still to PWN with it. Makes for a very impossibleownage, yes I know.From what I hear, damage sucks, speed is gawd-awful slow, the twin DOT's suck (and with the dual DOT bug, the second one don't stick anyways).
Basically, we are stuck with a mediocre level LVA with a health disease that does energy damage that takes about a month to get. Awesome. On the other hand, swordsmen only have to be quick about jumping on their bikes to get away from a krayt to get their scythes, most good weaponsmiths have the rest of the stuff needed already stashed. Now they get a new skin for the scythe while we have to deal with nothingness still? Granted my DOT's are killer, I can /areawaste rebs at will, but since these will be inevitably nerfed in the combat revamp, what are we left with? Swordsmen can strike at the still taboo mind pool, with a power hammer, doing about 300 damage in pvp to a buffed, armored PC. We can do area KD's so that it takes about 10 seconds longer for us to get wrecked. I thought that POLEARMS were supposed to do MASSIVE DAMAGE. I had to get a looted LVA from a friend, slice it for damage and power it up to get it to 184-750 @ 3.0 speed. Granted I'm thankful for this, it won't last long.
I've got swordsmen friends, I've got pikesmen friends. Just wondering why a prof that is already pretty damn uber is getting ANOTHER gift while we just get left out in the cold. Polearms=damage, swinging something with the damage end at a farther distance from the axis of rotation results in more kinetic energy, thus, more hurt when it lands a blow. how is a swordsman outdamaging us? We can hit for half the damage three times as fast, but what good is that when we primarily hit the two pools that regenerate this damage in 5 seconds?
/endrant, just bored on a night where no one is doing anything
