The game needs some loot weapons too.

being able to build DOT weapons eliminates the need to increase skill levels in combat profs to get DOT skills. this will never happen.

Good point, but an alternative would be to have loot drops which add DOT to weapons. That way they're ultra-rare, and much more useful than a lousy +30 -0.3 krayt tissue.

but even if the item adding the DOT is a loot drop, it can still alter the skill points progression. how many people do you see dropping their fencer prof for a novice pike and 18-54dmg Staff b/c it has has medium mind poison? however, if it becomes something craftable, you can double those damage stats. why would anyone be concerned with a NS lance that is 15-150 dmg with a DOT when they can get a DOT drop and have a lance made that is 100-300dmg. see where this is going? the moment we get to make DOT weapons, the loot system has to change. the loot system sux as it is. the devs have no idea how to incorporate a good loot system. i don't want them screwing anything else up.

now, as a side effect, maybe. say you are making the final stage of a vibro lance. you get 2 consecutive Amazing Successes and it adds a DOT to the weapon, sort of like how you can get triple and quadruple enhancers on a power up. that might be good, but needs to be saved for top level weapons only.

i dont man to let us put a DOT on a cdef, im talkin high level items and in now way should be easy to create. im just saying that these weapons already drop, they exist, which means it had to have been built somehow. i just think it logical that me being a MWS i would have an idea of how to craft an item with a DOT.

We can... go kill a nightsister elder... get the Nightsister Energy Lance Schematic (limited uses = 5)

You will also need 2 same serial Nightsister Vibro motors.

These lances have 2 dots built into them. Con and Health ... 20 minute length.. about 57 wound to each pool per tick.

Now if they give us a permanent ability.. well... i dunno.

Here is another view. This is supposed to be a Player based economy. Why have uber drops at all for "complete" weapons? Why not have a component"s" drop as rare as the Lance itself, then you need to include that in a special schematic to make the weapon, that way your not stepping on the MWS's toes, and not taking away from the enconomy. But lets not have it like EQ where if you fail the materials are gone and no weapon. If you get a bad combine it is still alittle better than a regular version but not as good if you get all greats or amazings. Just a thought

Plus... DOT weapons are already extreamly rare... and in that rare catagory you have the coveted Mind DOT weapons. If we could actualy craft DOT weaopons the fire thing i would do is build a scout blaster and focus 100% of experament into an extreamly high Mind DOT. Who cares about damage... all you need to do is switch weaopns after the DOT takes effect in PvP. I dont think allowing these to be crafted shoudl be allowed.

But if they do allow for components that add that effect... they should have severe penalty on them... like + speed or - damage.

i like the rare component drop. could also make it an actual crafting based npc mission series. also, similar to RIS armor, make it be more than one component to build finsihed product. Maybe some really hard, can only do once, and u can create one legendary weapon. every master crafter should get to build at lease one supreame master piece.

Hear Hear! I like the one time quest,,, or,,, if your weapon takes a dump on you due to wear or a bad repair you can turn it in and redo the quest. But only with turning in the old weapon. And make the drops so that you can only have one at a time on your Toon. That would keep the camping to a minimum... heh, now I getting way ahead of myself

noone else would like to build at least one uber legendary weapon?
