On Nerfs...
# May 05 2001 at 8:51 AM Rating: Decent
Nerfs are the reason it has taken so long for one of these pics to get on one of these non-uber guild pages. Furor of FOH has mentioned several times that the reason they don't release any pics of primal is because they are afraid that all of the little newbies that have no chance of getting one will whine for nerfs. If you know anything about the power of the higher up Velious mobs you know that this is not overpowering. If not then research it a bit, but don't whine for nerfs.
Furor was very wise...

Just look at posts here as an indication. Would they have nerfed primal velium? Probably not, but why take a chance? It's mostly moot to them now, anyhow, as many are using better weapons. :)

IMHO
# May 05 2001 at 4:23 AM Rating: Default
IMHO youll need your epic to even think of getting this IMHO and heck yah need to get something better than your epic someday grats verant for giving those uber peeps something else to do
FYI people..
# May 05 2001 at 3:57 AM Rating: Default
Primal weapons are SUPPOSED to be the best. they are SUPPOSED to be better than epics. To get into Sleepers tomb you need to hand in one of the Vel Dragon Talismans, Zlandicar, or Klandicar (not the wussy WW dragon talismans). Primal weapons drop of REALLY mean mobs and its NOt easy to get them at all...Having said that tho...you can farm the Master of the Guard for Primal, he ain't so tough =)). This will NOT be nerfed because Primal are supposed to be the "true" Pinnacle of EQ, NOT your epics, sorry peeps =)
RE: FYI people..
# May 05 2001 at 4:03 AM Rating: Default
also, all Primal weapons are +5 to all stats, +5 to all resistances, 50mana 50hp and 10ac. There ARE a few exceptions (I think the Primal bow is only 5ac). ALL Have the Avatar proc which is +100 str,dex,agi and atk. Don't forget the +100 str will also add another 100 or so to attack. A LOT of people with these weapons will use them until they proc and then swap in a weapon with a damage proc, in some fights, in others, they stick with this =). they are sweet =)
It will never be nerfed

On Lanys Tvl Conquest guild has killed sleeper a total of 5 times my friend has the spear from it and 2 members have this uber axe but a huge aount of people went in and most were ressed multiple times Sleeper is thew most insane monster ive ever heard of most servers dont have the ability to kill him so this WONT be nerfed stuff has been there since velious and wont likely be changed heh and yes avatar is bs i have a spell scroll for it :) how much to sell it for
RE: It will never be nerfed
# May 06 2001 at 11:12 PM Rating: Default
I dont' think you understand- the sleeper is a mob created to give the big guilds something to do AWAY from everyone else. HE CAN NOT be killed. When he wakes up he killes TWO zones. The tomb area and I believe the Skyshrine area. Conquest did not kill him, FoH did not kill him, Afterlife did not kill him- get the hint assmuncher he won't be killed.

# May 05 2001 at 2:16 AM Rating: Decent
actually the damage output by the axe and the paladin epic is comparable... what i usually do is switch after i proc'ed avatar to my FD... since 255 dex can increase proc of the sword and divine might a lot... which deals more damage than just straight Melee

I was thinking just that as I was drooling on my keyboard. Everyone that wants this nerfed doesn't understand that it takes an uberguild a long time to get even one of these. A guild with paladins who wield the mighty FD is such a guild! One day, I plan on being one of those paladins.

You go get 1 i mean a single one of these by yourself or even with 50 of your best buds and then they will thinking about nerfing these things, PERIOD

#Anonymous, Posted: May 05 2001 at 1:14 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Ok, wtf? I am a ranger and i say f*** my epics if i get this thing...why the hell did they have to go make something else better than melee epics. The only thing they could have done worse than putting this out in the first place was making is 1h blunt, ALL ALL. At least they left it to the 2h slashing.
RE: Holy god!
# May 05 2001 at 12:05 PM Rating: Default
These are supposed to be better than epics, they are the hardest weapons in the game to get, and almost require you to have an epic to get.. PERIOD
...
# May 04 2001 at 11:08 PM Rating: Default
Well...

On Rathe there are 2 Primal Weapons.

0 on most other servers.

Uber-uber Guilds have a few.

But count the number of epic on your server...200-300.

That is about a .05% ratio.
RE: ...
# May 05 2001 at 12:06 PM Rating: Default
There are about 40 primals i would guess on mith marr and probly 500+ epics
#Anonymous, Posted: May 04 2001 at 10:25 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I mean, why make an item better than the epics? I hope they plan on having a way to upgrade epics or something in Luclin....

# May 06 2001 at 11:45 AM Rating: Decent
Yeah, I accidentally fall into Sleepers all the time and get this Primal crap. To bad the are no drop or I could at least sell em to merchants for a plat or 2.

Primal Weapons
# May 04 2001 at 9:33 PM Rating: Decent
There are a Variety of Primal Weapons in Sleepers, all have diff procs and all whoop booty. Check Afterlife's website and youll see their equip lists for their Char's. All rogues that have a Primal spear replace their RB!!!!!

I have to say though, only the elite shall be rewarded with these weaps, so dont be thinking "its fake" or "NERF!!" Cause you deserve this Sh*t if you can actually make it into Sleepers
RE: Primal Weapons
# May 05 2001 at 8:30 AM Rating: Decent
Actually, I don't know if I'd lose my RB. If I'm not mistaken, it is Primary/Secondary, so you could switch it to off hand once you have the Primal Spear. That way, you'd keep all the great stat enhancements from the RB, as well as the haste proc.

I'm not sure about all this, cuz I'm only a lvl 45 rogue in a smaller guild, but if RB is either melee slot, then I'd happily move it to secondary if I got the Primal Spear (or one of the other piercers with equal dmg and faster delay that can be found in Velious).
Depressed
# May 04 2001 at 7:51 PM Rating: Default
Okay, I'm kinda depressed that this is better than the warrior epic. Hell, it's better than every epic except for the cleric one in my opinion. So it darn well better be harder to get than the epics.
RE: Depressed
# May 05 2001 at 12:08 PM Rating: Default
bah not better than ench epic, me make you fast
#Anonymous, Posted: May 04 2001 at 7:35 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) This is the most *** kicking weapon I've ever seen. Just WAIT for Verant to nerf this blade of mass destruction...
RE: Holy BLEEP!
# May 04 2001 at 7:55 PM Rating: Default
Nerf i may doubt would happen this is sleepers loot and that place be hell hard to get to more chance of getting your epic at lvl 35 than getting this thing ever

Avatar is the best part of this weapon. The spell is a 60 shaman buff lasts for a couple minutes and gives
+100 Str
+100 Dex
+100 AGI
+100 Atk

I wouldnt care if the dmg ratio was 10/35 id still use this weapon just for the proc.
RE: Avatar
# May 04 2001 at 7:53 PM Rating: Default
OMG that be a sweet proc and just think after that first proc itshould just keep proccing the rest of the fight with any luck essecially if you wearing FBSS and have say Speed of the Shissar you would become the nonstop procamatic
RE: Avatar
# May 04 2001 at 8:16 PM Rating: Decent
fbss is child's play for the people that get this, if you dont have a CoF by then (or something of very similar nature) you are a shame to your uber guild

I do not really care if it has INT I will take it anyway! What is Avatar?
Effect?
# May 04 2001 at 5:55 PM Rating: Decent
What's the effect do?
why int?..?
# May 04 2001 at 5:30 PM Rating: Decent
last I checked, Shadowknight was on this weapon class list, and hmm, I do belive they use intellegnce as a stat. After all, the are part necromancer after all. Awesome Weapon, too bad it will be 6 months at least before I can have a crack at one.
RE: why int?..?
# May 04 2001 at 11:51 PM Rating: Default
Don't quite understand this question, but basically this weapon has +5 to ALL stats, including saves and then 10AC, 50HP, & 50MANA. So why complain if it has a stat (or vice versa, doesn't have a stat) that you need/don't need. Especially when it has ALL stats...

Besides...if you want to be so knit-picky, then consider the SK's that can use this. INT-casters, they are. /gasp

RE: This kicks Ass!!
# May 05 2001 at 12:12 PM Rating: Default
SK's are an int based class, being part necro they inherited that trait

What you do is use this baby, let Avatar proc on you, switch to your epic, and that baby will proc like ***** mad!!

# May 04 2001 at 5:26 PM Rating: Decent
this weapon is harder to get then your epic.. by the time you actully goto sleepers you should have your epic..

Right u are neros a guild capable to get inte sleeprs and get these things most if not all whould already have their epics they whould be needed just to get the keys to sleeper really for reists if nothing else. Actully to handle sleepers most main tanks whould already have better then epic weapons so deam on if u lill guys think u can skipp all the boring epic camps to get ahead. :)
