Spiked Fists of Annihilation

[Roxxorz]

3 of these fists dropped on Sunday when we cleared Uqua again.  While this weapon is nice:

it is laughable that the one of the best H2H weapons in the game has the same graphic as it's rusty counterpart when I equipped it:

Can you imagine if a warrior looted a top level weapon with the graphic of a rusty shortsword?

The quality of the whole GoD expansion has been underwhelming to say the least.

Here is a pic of me with my new fists and a pair of bronze knuckles ( I couldn't find a pair of rusty ones right away and the bronze ones have the same graphic)



Not only is the graphic pathetic, but it is broken in the offhand slot. (it's been like that since luclin began)

I think the EQ policy on  quality speaks for itself.

Have you done a /feedback yet?  It couldn't hurt.

As bad as it is what bothers me more than the graphic is the effect.  I'm so sick of stun/ AC debuff/ higher aggro procs on my weapons.  I generate quite enough aggro all on my own I really don't need more from random procs that always happen to fire 5X in a row at JUST the wrong time.  Could I PLEASE get serpent's bite on more stuff, invigorate was nice, the pet summons, god forbid a DD with small - hate on it since we don't get any form of evade/jolt/FD.

Seriously grats though man.  Hopefully graphic get fixed soon.  8)

You know what i don't understand? How on earth does equipping a pair of knuckles change your delay below that of your bare hands?  :P

Sorry, couldnt resist when the thought occured to me just now

It's magic, of course!

Game on,

It's magic, of course!

I was going to say that too but bronze knuckles are not magic and do reduce delay. So I figure the delay is you spending time going Owe! after hitting a very hard object. :P

That's...brilliant!  :wink:

I have to agree with Tastian. Im already the final aggro keeping test for every warrior i know and i still manage to die on every tankchange on a raid mob just because im always nr 2 or 3 on the hate list (even without casting dots or nukes). I would really love an aggro reducing proc, the only one i know of is on the Dagger of Distraction.

So what do Handwraps of Captured Magic look like?

Also, spell casting subtlety would go down nicely, or a similar AA.  But an aggro reducing proc, I wouldn't complain about either.

I do find it hilarious that sks get spell castnig subtlety tho (from caster archetype) and they are tanks, and we don't because priests don't get spell casting subtlety.

Lucky me got a pair today, they are yellow glowing fists, much like the fists that drop from Hard Takish. If i knew how to post pics i would but once you seen a glowing fist youve seen them all.

"we don't because priests don't get spell casting subtlety."

preist get SCS with GoD.  I actually don't want SCS simply because sometimes I want aggro.  I'd just like a jolting blades kinda proc, a -hate built into weapon, an AA skill like feral swipe that acts as a confusing strike and lowers aggro, just something we can control a little bit.

I don't see why they could not have an NPC somewhere who would exchange pitachkas for eikatchkas (however they are spelled).

It means they would have to have a left hand and right hand version of each primary/secondary claw type on the database, but how hard would that be to implement?

You then hand your right handed weapon to the NPC and he gives you a left handed one back, and vice versa.

Then I could have my Slaves Hidden (Claw) which is much preferable to a pathetic red glowing fist with no particle effect.

[Valse]

I can see why agro is a pain for you Dummkopf since your main handing a ED  :lol:  I used that combo and had the same problems. Now im using Shania/Epw and I rarely have a agro issue until slow doesn't land a couple of times or im playing with our hellish agro dots.
