Fist of the Dawn

Changing this from fire weapon to cold based weapon. Not sure if anyone cares, but just throwing an idea out there. There isn't really a frost weapon that is comparable to swap to. Hopefully if change is made the nuke will be same with the -100 resist adjust, but just cold version instead.

Fire Weapons
The Matron's Grasp
Entropy's Spine
Perditrix, Truncheon of Undoing
Blood's Burning Grasp
Fist of the Dawn
Ule's Conception
Claws of the Beast

Cold Weapons
Fist of Solid Ice (Pre thaz change, not sure if a new/same version is implemented in new thaz)
Greatmaul of Hoarfrost
Fingers of Frost
 
Yeah I was going to post about many high tier monk/bst weapons being fire based, but there are quite a few comparable weapons to dawnfist from monsters of similar or one of vastly easier difficulty
 
I happen to agree Hyoren here. I have seen alot of fire weapons and like no cold ones. The ones he has labeled here (there maybe more I concede) are lower tier than most fire weapons. A good Cold weapon would be nice to have some time.
 
better idea. make entropys spine a non fire weapon because its off a dragon that has nothing to do with fire, while the fist is off orcs that worship fire. you can use nz off hand + horok and not lose much vs fire mobs. compare that towards the hardest of those weapons to get and be sad when you go to FR.
 
When I hear "Entropy" I think disease, poison, maybe magic... curses, misery. Ya know, stuff that isn't really fire.
I think it should just be changed from a PBAoE Fire intensify to maybe a poison or disease. Magic would be great, really any of the three. Fire just seems off.
 
Lleoc....Hang the T13 weapon! this isn't about it its about a absence of Cold weapons!

disease or magic, monks dont get a poison focus and the weapon has a disease focus on it.

Why does having a cold based weapon matter at all? It drops from orcs who worship the sun god. If you want to complain about any weapon being made into cold damage the most logical one would be the NZ 1 hand blunt cause it drops from a dragon dark elf thats all about the blizzards.

This is a worthwhile comment for this thread. except the part about "disease or magic, monks dont get a poison focus and the weapon has a disease focus on it."

Matter? Doesn't matter too much, My only thing is why so much fire. Hyoren probably wouldn't want NZ 1hb, iirc that buff does not stack with Cunning so the proc is kinda worthless to him.
 
theres a lot of fire because most the mobs that drop the weapons involve fire would be my guess.

there's no point in needing an ice weapon but trying to get ones changed that are clearly not supposed to be fire is a step in the right direction. how am i supposed to be immersed in a game i don't play when items just don't add up?

That's like saying a Shojar pledged toon can't use fire spells/weapons. Deity is just what you worship, it doesn't mean you don't mingle in other types of things for other reason. Obviously these guys are super shamanistic by their looks. And SoD shamans use frost spells. Hey these orcs are pretty intelligent and stuff they got tribes and a leader, look even the first tribe dabbled around with poison (Yivslayer). Maybe one of these guys researched cold based items because he wanted to learn a preservation method for meat and he created a weapon in the process. An orc maybe researched how to create a cold weapon because maybe he's conspiring to overthrow the chieftain and instead of having a fire weapon which they should be resistant to since they worship a Sun God, he rather have a cold based one of the opposite element.

The idea was because it seems like a lot of content accommodates ice type spells probably because of majority classes having frost spells.

I feel like this was kinda trolly, but in case it isn't. Item design doesnt need to be tied in directly with what classes get what focuses for the tier. Monks are the only class on it either. While it would make sense the item created would mesh well with focuses, tomes, what the classes that use it lack, etc... but yeah
 
i don't understand the issue here? are you using your toon to ringer tot raids for your alt? nothing that matters resists fire so w/e

One of the three actually okay places to exp. Taking Crynel there makes me sad, 2h and Jyre both resisted.

and because of this you have to use 2 one-handers which means if you use no scythe in primary Ds eats you alive.
