NECRO EPIC (RoK)

[Solarax]

Hello everyone .currently it seems after 2 days none have any info on epics so i thought i would post here asking if anyone has found anythingwe can consolidate FACTS and work the quest out hereso far non facts all i can guess at is the first place to start looking might be terrins grasp at the necro trainer area and see if anything is different or unusual.this could go for pretty much any place right now

Seems SOE due to the fires in SD Cali have put off the Epic weapons to ensure that they will be top notch instead of realeasing a half [Removed for Content] make up of the Epic Weapons there was some discussion on this board at this link about it. <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=392119" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=392119</a>

as long as we dont get stuck with the "duck stick" again i'd just as well rather wait until all the epic quests were completed, polished, and finished before being put on test.

<p>Dudes, our epic should so be this wicked looking (with a blade runed in red) one handed scythe with a dangly chain... maybe have an uber symbol attached to said chain. Make it count as a one handed staff that does extra slashing damage with each spell we cast... and a clicky effect to temporarily make the dangly symbol into the best symbol EVER!</p><p>Man, SOE needs to hire me or something!</p>

i doubt the epic has been delayed by the fires, it s just an excuse i more thinking they still havent done them (remember over 2 years to gt 24 class specific helm??) the second thing i m thinking about is that they are just going to release them mid expansion when everything will have been nerfed so hard that everyone and their mom will be able to do the quest, as well as get the people that cancel their subscription due to boredom back in the game.

Ah sweet!!! I played a Paladin on EQ1 <img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> What kind of stats did it have? The special effect....what was it?

<p>the eq1 duck translated into eq2 would be a total bust since it was a snare type effect.</p><p>A better epic for eq2 would be some type of pet enhancement similar to what magicians received from their eq1 epic line.</p><p>The eq1 and eq2 necromancers bear little resemblence IMO, eq1 necros are more similar to Vanguard's version. </p>
