New plane of frost loot

Why are you complaining about the staff and comparing it to a good 1h/shield combo? Obtaining 1 piece of loot is much less work than getting 2, so that's the price you pay. In all actuality, the staff is really good and on par for it's tier imo.
 
I didn't read all the replies, but:

Statement: 2hers on casters have an inherent dps advantage over 1hers. This is the advantage of being higher delay.

Why: Weapon attacks queue up and strike the moment they can after a spell is cast.

Analysis: While a lower delay weapon would have lost 2 or 3 swings while casting a long spell, the 2hb many only lose a part of a swing.

The only drawback (which I know less about how the mechanics work ont his) is: If you are running a proc buff. the 2her may swing less and therefore proc less? You gotta way the benefits here.

I spaced this up to make the concepts more understandable, as I have had people "wtf" me over pretty basic concepts before.

Naa it's really not where are you hps or stamina? For the most part Wis or INT casters should have capped stats like (355+ wis or int). The big thing I see missing is the hps plus the stamina. Other then that if you get past the really low stats for a 2hb it's not all that bad.

Obtaining 1 peice of loot is far easier than 2, however it can cause a delay when trying to upgrade as you have to obtain both 1h peices before you can switch out your 2her.

Proc buffs (at least I'm sure on R:BoW) have a proc chance that scales with weapon delay. Faster weapons don't get more procs in a given period.
 
"I say it has it's strong point but the other stats seem to take too big of a hit really"

i'm not saying it's horrible, but the HP isn't up to par

If it had FT1 or so and some more HP I could see a few casters geared to the appropriate tier using it. As it stands I cant see very many (appropriately geared) players using it as anything more than a toy or for a cold resist boost on specific encounters.

that belt zinidine got is close to farhag wing belt. about 30 mana less (FT 2 on that one compared to 250 mana and FT1 on farhag belt)

should make that belt mellyssa got like 195 mana or give it a FT1.

but since that prob don't happen i expect zinidine's belt to get a FT1 hit.

Nerfing an item to complement another item that is clearly missing an augment slot is bad. Soulspike belt is slightly more mana and same FT and drops within same tier. Adding an augment slot to other belt is a given though. The focus it has is a must have for wizards witch most only get from either Glacial Eye or Farg slippers, so another item with it is nice.

What cold resist are you talking about? Focus on belt is Cold Damage increment witch every wizard in that tier should have and most only get from Glacial or Ip boots like I stated above. Belt would be a very good upgrade to IP caster belt if got the augment slot witch clearly was an oversight.

Courage (enthann drop) also has cold nuke focus.

you do know about all the past nerfs cause of people sayin something isn't balanced and the top tier loot gets the nerf? right?

at least recently devs and stuff have been increasing stats of items instead of owning them with the nerf stick..

Glad to see it also.

Praxas was refering to the 2hb not the belt for a resist toy I would emagine sence it had what 50 or something?

I haven't looked at it since it was linked to me when i got home, but i think it had 35 on it. The 50 is possible, I'm fairly certain from pure memory of seeing it once that its 35.
 
I think that was the fire resist. I just remember it having some crazy cold resist and really above average fire resist. I guess we will find out tomorrow before the raid when I make him put it back on just to know hehe.
 
Afaik Frost isn't higher tier than Upper thaz - supposed to be on par with LT or lower ToT. I think some people in guilds that have killed Attendant are on this tier - I admit I saw this staff first on Josseff so I'll take him as example - don't all have a Brimstone buckler / Hammer of the Depths combo. This staff fits its tier.

Same for the belt - once it will have an aug slot (and maybe a STA/hp boost ?) it should be ok. The problem is too many items are overpowered and you get use to have as much hp as mana...then wait for a replacement in one of the old zones.

Pulsing Coldstone Loop, Enthann Saphire, Wand of Cold Calculation also have this focus, and most drop off encounters easyer then Attendant.

Why do a research when you can just post, heh?

Did I say only or just "most". Instead of saying something constructive you imply I just post without research huh.

Btw did you pay your debt to Felyn yet?
