<div></div>w/ the robe & prismatic2.0 new look.. you look kinda mage is their gaige......... any chance on priest screenie or only brawler one gettin upgraded?graphics meh stats bettah

[Gaige]

<div></div>I look like a cool mage though!

[zabor]

hmm it is a strange "upgrade".4 str less, 15 hp less, 10 power less.the proc seems to be a bit higher.5 crushing is nice though.

[Cwi]

Oh hot, +5 crushing... can't wait for this to go live.<div></div>

[WapcapletT]

Nobody listen to Gaige, he's psycho. I think the graphic looks great.<div></div>

[Reposa]

+5 Crush > All > Gaige<div></div>

And just like pris 1 its a totaly useless weapon for monks. Ratio: meh , t6 fabled are better (identical circumstance as prism 1.0)stats vs the length and dificulty of the quest: meh, again t6 fabled better, (look up everclenched gauntlets, more hp power, more direct stats, different moddifier and proc)  or look at the draconic fighting baton, or cudgle of the devout,  (identical circumstance as prism 1.0)mana regen: meh (i use no power regen and still never run out in exp or raids, and its only 2 more points then t5 but the cap has gone up by over 10 points in those 10 lvls so its basicly the same quality mana regen)+ crushing: semi decent but still nothing a few classes cant buff, even without this its very possible to get to 390 crushing atm. arguably the second best aspect of this  (identical circumstance as prism 1.0)the dmg proc: definatly the nicest part and only t6 weapon for monks with an actual decent dmg procthe look/particle: both fluff aspects imho, as neither should ever effect if u use a weapon/item or not, but its nice its been upgrade.  Personaly id use it if it looked like a giant black rod with no texture  (identical circumstance as prism 1.0)Summary:  Similar to the prismatic 1.0, im left with a feeling of great disatisfaction as 30+ quests and easily 18+ hours of questing and 20+ of farming eyes and learning FoL and your left with a weapon that can easily be replaced with 3 hour raid of citadel, a weapon from the hand of godking, or even the weapon from the ped of the sky.   For the amount of work, the reward is unsatisfactory in comparison. I hope in future expansions the epic quests such as this arent ment to be replaced by a random drop loot from contested/named epic.  KoS promises powerful heritages, the most i can hope for is that the item team deems it fitting that the reward for an epic quest that required 10x the work as any single raid mob be more inline.  Im glad it got upgraded, dont get me wrong, but again priests and mages get the sugar cube, and dps are left looking for carrots.    10% chance to proc a group heal or 10% chance to proc a wicked dot and debuff, and us dps just get a semi decent dmg dd proc with no additional benifitsPersonaly i see my self using other weapons with better ratios for their raw dps.<div></div>

<div></div><p>The Particle effect is cute, and the new stats are nice, but good lord, that baton isn't very appealing visually. It looks more like a wand or something. I don't like it much.</p><p>Will I still use mine? Yeah. But yeesh, it looks way more like a Mage item than anything a Monk or Bruiser would smack someone with.</p><p>-Ilina</p>

It's not final yet, so hopefully it gets another little bump before live.I wasn't gonna bother with the quest before, and now... i'm still not sure if i'd bother...<div></div>

[Colossaltitan]

<div></div>Its look has changed again iirc, like a small spear or something, or tiny mace... only not quite, as if its missing some of its tip./shrug.The scout one really looks cool, but they got the shaft on the attributes.

[Shaialit]

I like the new graphic and stats.Btw, did they manage to add a brawler weapon for the reward from Capturing Day and Night quest from Djinn Master in PP? Or did anyone hear anything about this?<div></div>
