#REDACTED, Posted: Dec 28 2003 at 7:27 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) You people who are ******** about how overpowered this is because it used to proc at level 1 are stupid i mean comon if you can get one of these at low levels then it dont matter because more then likely you either of a higher character who can get one or you've earned the money to buy one so either way you've paid your dues and can twink your lowbies anyway you please i also think the people ******** about it being over powered are the people who are jealous because people can afford to put them on newbie characters and they cant finish twinking out that 8th character thats at level 13. http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=877172

You seem to forget all the ebayers and plat sellers out there. I know of a monk that bought plat and got this and was able to lvl fast and get to the point that his inexperience in actual play (he was a dumbass basically) caused a couple group wipes. I dont know if plat sellers can be stamped out completely but something like this was overpowered to proc at lvl 1 and even perhaps at lvl 35.

This would be a useless weapon for a twink, I have one and it does proc once a fight sometimes twice and I am in my 50s now with a dex in the 170's, if you are a twink most likely u will use a centi weapon cos u still need to up all your skills even at low levels and with this in your hand by the time u got too level 20 u would be completely unrounded in all of your skills due to lack of practice / genuine experience. The only things you should really twink at low levels if u go that way is armour, 1 weapon within the damage cap and or wiz / int for mana that way u will still level quicker cos of lower downtime and raise your skills at the same time.

This was indeed over powered for a level one character. Anything that allows a level one to hit for over 200 points of damage, even as a proc, is over powering. It doesn't matter if a person has paid his dues or not.

And I could easily to afford to put these on a level one if I so inclined, so don't throw that in my face.

Would you bother using this if you had Golden Wraps of the Compact? This in Primary and Golden wraps in secodary or just stick the Golden Wraps in primary and get somethign else for secondary?

I feel that the proc being what is it at lvl one is awesome! My low lvls, and my high lvls would kill to be able to do that! Currently saving for it!

Proc
# Nov 26 2003 at 11:08 AM Rating: Decent
I think that this proc'ing at level one is too overpowering for a low level to have....its like no reccomended level on a windblade or something to that extent.....now if it started out at like 10 or 15 damage at level one then moved up to full damage at level 63....that would be better....

# Dec 01 2003 at 4:43 PM Rating: Default
I've got one and yes the dmg does start off lower. I got mine at 30 and dmg was around 9 at that time.

I think he means the damage of the proc... And in that aspect he is right, it is too overpowering. Much more so than a Windblade without reccomended level, since that is somewhat controlled by the existing damage caps.

before the mini nerf, these orb's went for like 30-50k on drinal. then after nerf they went down to like 10k-15k, all of a sudden theyre like 25k.. doesnt make sense.. anyways i got one for 15k and its definately worth it, if u could afford a decent haste ( rbg / rbb / soulscream / cocw / cof and all those other ones ).. i proc about 3 tiemns a fight at lvl 42 with 140 dex for 320 almost all the time. great wep imo.

# Dec 07 2003 at 8:32 PM Rating: Decent
mebbe what he meant by it was with haste, he can hit more times and a better chance with more hits to proc
RE: weird
# Dec 03 2003 at 10:19 AM Rating: Decent
Haste does not affect procs per unit of time. At least thats what I have read many times. Check before you /rant.
RE: weird
# Nov 28 2003 at 7:44 PM Rating: Decent
Haste does not effect procage.
RE: weird
# Dec 01 2003 at 8:44 AM Rating: Default
thats the dumbest comment ive seen in my life... Haste does not effect procage.... i think he was referring to the fact it had 30 delay and haste = faster and therefore more hits and THEREFORE more chances to proc! that is how haste effects procage... /rant off
RE: weird
# Dec 15 2003 at 8:50 AM Rating: Excellent
yup, you can be 70% slowed or 130% bard hasted, you will proc about the same number of times over a long period of time. It is based ONLY off your dex, not off your delay in any way (haste affects your effective delay)

I am a cleric and with my proc-happy hammer I can tell that with 130% haste I proc once every 10 swings but with no haste I proc every 3 or 4... about same number of procs per fight.
RE: weird
# Jan 21 2004 at 12:50 AM Rating: Decent
i dont think its possible to be 130% hasted
RE: weird
# Dec 09 2003 at 3:44 PM Rating: Decent
Actually, he is right. Haste does not affect proc rate.

Many parses I have seen on the warrior message boards show a proc rate of twice per minute regardless of the haste. It appears that procs are related to time, not to number of swings.

Just won one for my wizard. Much to my amazement, when the weapon procs it activates my Improved Damage 3 item. The proc hit for a max of 374 and even more to my amazement; crit for 688!!! Not bad for a wizard! I can't wait till I put Permafrost on it. Is that the best type 4 item for this? Any suggestiong please?

Far as I know, proc amounts aren't effected by player level at all. What you saw was probably partial resists or something. Notice the spell itself doesn't even go to 175 at its lower limit.

Unless Sony added new code for procs lately /shrug.
RE: Procs
# Nov 13 2003 at 7:19 PM Rating: Default
negative... got one @ 46 and it procs for 320 which is maxed out... so it definately procs for max before 52

Haven't seen it on this particular item, but I have seen other weapon procs increase in damage as I leveled. Looking at the spell data above I assume this thing reaches the max damage/proc at lvl 37, just like the spell would have.

The nerf isn't so nerfy
# Oct 29 2003 at 8:04 AM Rating: Default
Of course everyone now realizes that the delay of 30 makes this weapon augmentable with the +3 damage augment?

22/30 after augmentation

RE: The nerf isn't so nerfy
# Oct 29 2003 at 9:45 AM Rating: Decent
Dmg Augments are type 5-6. This can only hold type 4, which are procs. =/
Proc?

RE: What lvl?

I think it starts at level 5 or 6, I know its a great twink item, hence why it going for 10-15k. Be safe)
Awesome weapon
# Oct 20 2003 at 7:48 AM Rating: Decent
I bought this weapon yesterday (nerfed one) and all I can say is that I'm very happy about it's performance.

On the Xev server these weapons still go for around 17.5K btw (Talking about a big difference in prizes over the EQ servers =)

But even nerfed this is still an awesome weapon, it procs most of the time AT LEAST 2 times a fight for max damage (320) and my (56 Troll BST) melee average hits are between 60 and 100 damage.

I think it's a great dual wielding weapon since the attack rate of dualwielding weapons are independent from each other. So, if the first weapon is a delay 30 weapon, like this one, the weapon in the second hand with a delay of 20 can still give a steady and fast damage output.

This can also be a nice twink weapon for lots of classes (especially dual wielders and casters) since one doesn't have to actually hit the mob to activate the proc.(Like all combat procs)

You won't be sorry for buying this weapon =)
(unsless you're a single wielder maybe =)

Love,

My enchanter is a DoT
# Oct 17 2003 at 10:32 PM Rating: Decent
I slapped this on my enchanter and send him into the fray. Proc's at least once per fight mostly proc's twice, and about every forth mob proc's 3- 4 times. At 320 damage per proc I do more damage in a fight than my DoT's do.

BTW paid 6800 for it on Veeshan.

# Oct 12 2003 at 1:47 PM Rating: Default
I am pretty disgusted with the nerf. Paid 12kpp for this and the next morning it was nerfed and only worth about 8k. No matter, I still use it. At lvl 45 its doing 65 dmg plus procs constantly. Curious though, has anyone scrolled back and seen themselves hit with it?? When it procs it makes my monk look like she is spell casting. Weird. Sure wish it was a secondary though!!

You always do spellcasting animations whenever you proc.
#REDACTED, Posted: Oct 10 2003 at 11:47 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Was a good item - now its back to garden variety. Why dont they upgrade planar armor considering the risk - like plane of fear - as opposed to downgraded stuff. Sorry - but I'm taking a HUGE plat loss because of its reduced value and bugs me all to hell.

The shown version is the pre-nerf one.
They changed it to Dmg 19 delay 30 with the last patch - it lost a bit of its brilliance imo...

does this proc still at 1?
# Oct 09 2003 at 3:38 PM Rating: Default
After the nerf today on Oct 9 i was wondering if this weapon still procs at level 1 or if they fixed that. if so please let me know what level it procs at now.
RE: does this proc still at 1?
# Oct 24 2003 at 12:14 AM Rating: Decent
Still procs at level 1. All they changed was the damage/delay...
Not as bad as i thought it would be
# Oct 09 2003 at 12:07 PM Rating: Decent
The nerf isnt that bad. only -1 dmg and -0.2 second delay. It could have been worse. as long as the proc is still the same dmg I will still use it.
RE: Not as bad as i thought it would be
# Oct 09 2003 at 2:50 PM Rating: Default
Actually it's a bit worse, as it's got a type 4 aug slot verses a type 1.
Personally, I'd take the type 1.
