The next phase of the server-wide item revamp is in! This patch balances all weapons 1-70 (through Kael). Every weapon was adjusted, some more than others. For the most part the weapons were a lot easier to balance. Mostly just fine tuning but there were a few overpowered and a lot of underpowered weapons. The up in the underpowered weapons should give players more options in every zone. Almost forgot to mention, the patch also includes balancing to shields, wands, and bows through the same range.
Epic 1.0 Fine Tuning:
Damage/Delay ratios were adjusted but not by much. The HP/Mana on these epics were cut down a little bit. The 1.0’s should still last you a bunch of levels but not to the 1.5 like some classes were experiencing. Also new weapon models have been put in for the 1.0’s, the old ones were sort of a place holder until I could find some more appropriate ones. Most players will welcome the change. Another large change is that the epic 1.0’s will center around 1 weapon. Some classes got 2 or more. I’m going to “break” the other weapons if you have them already (bad stats). This should make item progression more fun for those classes since you will still have an offhand to fill.
