I’m replacing a +16 weapon. If i replace it with a +11, i’m decreasing my attack just to increase some other stat. Then why bother doing it, i’m just replacing an issue with another. And unlike two-handed weapon classes or scouts, i don’t have other sources of physical attack. So it’s either having a good enhance on the main weapon or nothing.
Regarding the “buy it from market”, you’re free to point out the +16 varna rapiers sold in fedimian markets. Hint: there is none. Mostly because whoever does some +16 weapon usually does it for itself, not for selling. And if someone randomly drops a rapier…the market for rapiers is so small that taking the risk to enhance for selling is meaningless. Not that i’ve seen unenhanced rapiers sold either, anyway. The only one was the one i dropped myself before the news of the changes…and that i sold because i already had done that +16 savinose, back when they were equal. So, again, empty words.
Then again the blabbering about free equips. I don’t care about them. I have my own, i still use a velcoffer armor set along with that savinose weapon (was waiting for the ataka patch to use the varna set, i expected it to come before the episode 12, but it got bundled together; there was no reason to do a savinose, after all, damage wise, kraujas is better than the normal savinose set bonuses for a fencer, despite the drawback involved).
By the way, i can’t understand the part about “jumping the gun”. It would be a thing if a bothered trascending said dagger, but i didn’t, as i wrote before. I would have done a dagger either way…since i already had a +16 savinose weapon and planned to put the set bonus on the subweapon, so that i would eventually be able to replace the main weapon if needed. I expected to replace it with a newer tier though, not one of the same level.
And since my preparations with the non-rng stuff was done, i lacked only the rng ones - that was supposed only to be the seal though, since the weapon was done. And failed despite a 70% chance, but so is rng.
And then they flipped the table completely, making savinose worthless.
So, tell me, how is my fault being “not prepared enough” if the issue all stems from the devs making savinose items significantly worse at a sudden compared to varna and, secondarily, by not giving a crit-oriented class like fencers any fixed ichor with crit rate, thus having random ichors as the sole source for the high amounts needed with the new patch? It’s not like i can read the future. And neither should expect them to do such drastic changes at a sudden. I can react at them at most, and that’s what i’m doing - by keeping doing skia weekly to make rapiers and try doing a +16 one. A waste of resources and blessed gems that i would have gladly skipped if not for the sudden changes. So at least spare me the crap about “not being prepared enough”. As if we could know beforehand.
