Plaguebringer

Here is a link to the Plaguebringer .

It drops at the end of Trial 2.

When comparing to Sanctified Mace of Reckoning , Wand of Righteousness , or Sacred Iksar Battle Spear it falls short of a decent healer item... just above Ocy's Endless Tankard

As a Ranger/Rogue item it is decent... What does disease damage count for? Every 2 = 1 damage? So it is 12 / 20 with a proc the way I figure it. About equal to Bloodleather with better melee stats.

Adding a few more disease damage points or 75 mana would be how I would improve it. Maybe even making the proc clickable with a bit of a recast time (Since procing a dot can be bad) like Staff of the Turning has.

But as it is... taking around an hour to get to with the fight being harder then most of the other mobs that drop similar items, this item is underpowered.

That's a 15/20 weapon to those mobs not resisting disease damage.

I believe Mudge accounted for this in the assessment here, by saying that probably half the mobs resist disease damage, or all the mobs resist half the disease damage. Regardless, I think he has a valid point for the weapon.

wow that thing sucks , you could make that better by lowering the delay to like 17 or 15, or maybe making the proc a badass DD or something

Disease damage is better than 2:1. Regardless, I'll revamp it.

I was thinking...

I am not sure if you have changed the item yet, but a focus effect that would be ideal for this item would be Affliction Enchantment. There are not many items with this effect and it goes along with the name.
