Feedback on the new imbued bandoliers etc... and a few suggestions

[SilkVelvet]

<DIV>Greetings Devs!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I hunted around this forum for a thread on feedback on these new(but long overdue) recipes. Yay!!! My tailor is gonna be so happy. I had a dabble with the new crafts on Test, but have been  so busy I haven't been able to do more than get one of my toons to lvl 20-odd in jewelling and look at the new imbued weapons belts on the broker.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But.... seeing that you've done this, which should have been included in the imbuable list of items in the first place, when will imbued symbols and tablets and tomes and idols come in? we've had imbued shields and bows since the start of imbuing, and now the thrown weapon belts.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'd also like to throw a few ideas at you for what the procs could be.... either a flash of intel, str etc like the rings or a hate reduction ward or something like that. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Yes yes I know, pallies and sk's can use these items too so a hate reduction buff would be horrid for them(unless they're playing secondary tank/back uo heal and rezzer in a group or raid), but there could be other possible procs, like a ward against X amount of damage, or a heal or an AC buff or one that prevents spell interruptions or fizzles or stops you getting stunned, mezzed or silenced  for 20sec.... something like what some of the dropped items have.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Those are just my ideas, I'm not asking for godly stuff, just a little something like you've given the tanks/scouts</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Silk</DIV> <DIV>70 Fury, Butcheblock</DIV>

or procs based on heals (for healers) or spell damage (for mages).

[Bozidar]

<P>Interesting idea.  I'm not sure how it'd work out, since they're not armor and they're not weapons (like the bandoliers and shields are).  I guess if you treat them as a mystical type of armor, then they could have imbues like a shield and give either healing or damage feedback when hit by a spell?  </P> <P>Someone needs to come up with a better idea of how/why they'd be imbued that fits with the purpose of the items themselves.</P>

[valkyrja]

I would be happy if the effect on crafted wands was a proc, like every other crafted weapon.  Instead of being a clicky no-one ever uses.<div></div>

[Wrapye]

There is only one variety of imbued armor for cloth and leather as well.  My guess is that the focused stats the the specialized armors have are balanced by the imbued items proc.<div></div>

[Phaldyne]

<P>I'd like to see a proc for healers that would grant the next 1 or 2 heal spells to be cast a 100% chance to crit.  That would be really nice.</P> <P>-Phaldyne</P>

[SpiderTouch]

IMbued bandoliers, satchels, sheath and pouchesWondering on the proc you all seem to be but I am figuring it will be similar if not the same damage proc that bows have as they are all Ranged Weapons. They are also tailor made so the tailors gonna be busy when this goes live!

[Deson]

If you're a crusader. I was speaking more to mages. Fighters/scouts already make some from of sacrifice when they dual wield/use 2handers.Mages and even priests wouldn't be giving up anything really.<div></div>

[Deson]

Plenty if the proc goes off while in course of normal fighting. The extra damage during the fight might just prevent the running out of power and the use of said miracle wands. Still though, why get rid of the old wands when you ca just add new ones? Everyone wins there.<div></div>

I was was referring to proc on cast weapons vs. clicky cast. I prefer proc on cast but plenty like the clicky's. The argument from the poster above me was that the clicky's are great when you are in a tough fight and run out of power, my response was that if the proc's are going off during the fight it might not come to that.</div>

[Guy De Alsace]

Absolutely do not change wands. They are essential equipment IMO. That guaranteed 300-500 dmg per cast with no power is a godsend. Every one of my casters carries at least one each. Brock's Thermal Shocker is awesome as well, dont know how many times that one has tipped the fight for my Mystic. <div></div>
