(I really want to post this in the KoO thread but I'm banned, will a kind soul do it for me? I'll give you a cool point! Just Copy&Paste it)
This thread is not about the Uber weapons being Un-balanced (We know they are), It is about specific ways to fix them.
Here are my idea's:
Nightmare Mace
Switch it to Melee and give it +2 base. Therefore making it 10-30 melee. (14-32 Triggered) Raise its sell-back to 700,000 gold for all those (not so) poor mages who thought they were getting another advantage over warriors.
Then raise the BTH on its special to +40% and lower the rate to 15%. This will make the freezing more likely, making this weapon overall better.
Reign Bringer
Switch it to Melee and give it +2 base. Therefore making it 10-30 melee. Make its trigger affect BTH like the Ice Katana's (-10 BTH when used against Ice monsters) along with the 10% base reduction. Raise the sell-back to 700,000 for those mages.
Since the Reign Set is supposed to be the ultimate offense, lets give it the ultimate offensive special!
I'm thinking each hit doing 20-60 damage with the full set bonus hit doing 40-120. BTH is okay, maybe 5-10 extra.
Then drastically lower the rate to 5-10%.
Mages Have Uber SPELLS, They Don't Need Uber Weapons!
Shadow Spear
Same drill, +2 base damage. I don't see the need to change the sell-back price...
Any-who, The special should be at about a 10-15% rate and have +60 BTH. People say the Shadow Spear is the "accurate" uber weapon so this seems fair. I would also change the damage to 20-80 each hit.
Golden Axe:
This weapon is perfect the way it is....Almost. I would boost the Special BTH a bit. Make the healing do 75-100% of the damage done. This would make it a more reliable source of healing. But then I would lower the special rate to 15-20%
Your thoughts?
