PoW Loot

Gaerek said:
Yeah because I havn't cleared all of Sepulcher when I was guilded with Steel, botting Sadira/Lufia. Or CoD, or IP, or Mirrors, Or Taeshlin, Or the Earth mini, or the water mini, you are right, I have not done any of that content!!

Sorry I don't know your past. But then more reason to know what we are talking about.
 
Gaerek said:
The bottom line is, there is lots of new content coming out, and there are going to be loots that are better because they can't not put upgrades or else no one will do the content. Get. Over. It.

Oh I forgot. This doesn't make sense. And...

Edit: If we could find OP up, I think we could clear ALL of it.

Because a lot of your loot is from PoWater, and overpowered.
 
I don't really want to get involved in the arguing over PoWater difficulty and such compared to other zones, but I'm going to comment on the Shroud. I agree that with the MC change to it being 1% per that it could use a bit of tweaking. I'll see about doing something with it.

1. None of you have raided water, except to test one mob, therefore you have no idea what it takes to clear the zone or how hard any of the mobs are. Granted Cinn has boxed our MT for the boss but that in itself gives no real clue as to how hard the fight really is.
Says the guy that brags how easy water is constantly over ventrilo, mmmhmm.

Gaerek said:
2. Master of the Gates is easier then the Guardian of the Caverns and Adjudicator. His loots are better than both of the previous mentioned bosses. ( Exluding the pants: Which we know are broken and are waiting to be fixed. )
MOTG isnt supposed to be hard fight. His loots are on par since you have to go through the whole ordeal to get to him and make him killable.

Gaerek said:
3. Arbiter of Airs earing is still used by guilds in Thaz, his pants were used by Junius - Monk useable pants drop in CoD and I know Junius has passed on them, so please nerf AoA pants too! Since Adjudicator is harder then AoA his loots should be better.
I agree the arbiter earring is good, but there are several earrings on about the same level that are just as good. I have no problems with the earrings.

Gaerek said:
4. Prophet Robe - Which has only dropped once out of six kills, is a very nice robe. The mob who has a comparable unwallable mana drain to the AoA. And who COMPLETELY drains your mana at 10%. ( Not to mention Steel wiped to Prophet 3x when testing him and he hasn't been changed. )
We killed him first time... and there were like 6 Steel people.....

I think we have been doing water for 2.5 weeks, our first attempts at Adjudicator failed, when we first started doing Guardian we had to use CoTB to win, now after 16 Raids on various planes/supulcher/op we can do Guardian without CotB. And we have to use CoTB on Adjudicator to win.

Sultan who drops the best primary for a priest UNTIL Thaz, I end the fight at 95 mana. Arbiter of Air I end the fight at 10-15m. Seductress I end the fight at 40m. None of waters loots are more powerful then any of these mobs, Yet all these mobs are much easier to beat. So maybe Wiz can work up some sort of raid force that resembled Dandys 2.5 weeks ago, and you guys can give it a go and see how you do.

The bottom line is, there is lots of new content coming out, and there are going to be loots that are better because they can't not put upgrades or else no one will do the content. Get. Over. It.

Edit: If we could find OP up, I think we could clear ALL of it.
You feel as if we're all personally attacking your guild, which is not the case. I have not done much of PoWater, but the fact that you cleared it all of PoWater and have only killed Scribe in Sepulcher and, as you say, are ready for Outer Prison... then compare the loots from both zones (wont go over what others have, they summed the loots up pretty well), yeah, I think there is a pretty serious problem.

There is a 30 point stat difference between the 2 robes. I dont see what the issue is with this one TBH (Woldaff kinda covered most of the other points I was going to address, with a post that is much more coherant than the one I started to write, lol).
 
MotG is easier then Scribe. Fyi!

Sorry about any potential flames, I'm a jerk!

Junius my point in my first post was that there is "unbalanced" loot in every zone. If plane of water had been out forever and we were clearing PoAir for the first time people would be complaining about Sultan Scepter, Arbiter Ears, Seductress Ears, Seductress Sleeves, Seductress Neck, Sudetress EVERYTHING. Aribeter pants, and the Arms/Cloak piece from arbiter.


Or how about the Range item from Sultan? WOW! Because Sultan is certainly easier then Guardian and his range for tanks is worse.

With the realease of more Raid zones that basically means you don't have to go up the normal ladder that all you old school people did, because you can find similiar loots elsewhere.

We could clear sepulcher and get CoD keys and the sepulcher loot is similiar to water. Whats the point in getting to CoD though? Its perma camped. I would rather farm similiar difficulty encounters in water where its not camped because no guilds have acccess to the zone. *shrug*
 
Skipping CoD just because you can get loot elsewhere will leave your guild behind in general later on. CoD is a great zone with awesome lore and an amazing final encounter, as well as some really invaluable items (Hammer of Warding and Demonic Halo instantly leap to mind) If you want to skip it, fine. Leave the loot for a guild that likes to work at what they do instead of getting overpowered loot handed to them.

Was PoAir cleared within a week of being out? I think not. Even Arbitor took a chunk of time to be killed

We're not skipping CoD, we can't do CoD because its locked down by other guilds that raid before us.

Also because you need to get down sepulcher first.
 
This isnt happyland. Either stick to the topic and make realistic suggestions or dont post.
 
Cinn made a very, very good point with the manis robe vs prophet robe, obviously overpowered. And it's not like we're trying to rag on you or anything Woldaff, you've done a lot of damn good work with both zones so quickly, and being pretty new at your position, but a lot of people take loot balance seriously, thats why we get these posts.
 
Okay, Empire is, by fomelo greater then what Dandy was when we started water. I will gladly port them into Water to let them try and see what they think about the encounters.

Woldaff is hands down my favorite Dev currently. I love your content, I love your zones, I love the quickness you churn them and I love the care you take in making sure all of them are balanced and tuned.

This thread was just about constructive feedback and a place for people to post their thoughts on PoW that I had been hearing alot of recently.

Quit acting like you're personally being attacked Grake. There are some issues that alot of people feel need to be addressed with PoW itemization (as you can see by how fast this thread took off).
 
As with gaerak said i never did Water in any form cause we havnt gone to kedge to get the port spell due to having other content to do still. And we can rarely get our hands on certain PoA mobs since they are always down such as windrider. i love to raid and i love seeing new content but having nothing to do cause all the worthwhile mobs being down makes me unhappy. thats what raiding is about cant have everything you want. Im just glad to see more zones come out to raid/exp in.

but in the case of overpowered loot, skipping content = something i dont want to do cause it ruins the fun of learning the game lore and all that. If dandy gentlemen never get in sepulcher or CoD for whatever reasons (either everything being down or intent to skip if able) thats their choice.

keep up the good work Waldoff and lets try to keep this civilized people =)

The robe is being changed. I agree on that one. Cloak is going down to 1.9 mod but stats are being upped slightly and it will still be rare.

For adjudicator I am doing the following-

Basically his loot is nice because of all the fun reasons I named before. Regardless he is being Sultanified.

This means he drops 2 loots no matter what. Class diversity no longer applies to mister adjudicator.

That also means he isnt getting any harder, or easier. The Mantle is the big item from adjud that MIGHT be changed depending how or if the other mantles get changed. The pants are being fixed to 2% cold like they should be.

Not 100% final but this is what I am doing as of now. If you have any other suggestions feel free to post them as always. I really dont mind criticism, I do mind when you guys attack each other over it.
