<DIV>a number of weeks ago bruisers (and monks) were given pierce and slash skills</DIV> <DIV>as my bruiser was about lvl 40 at the time i picked up the only legendary crafted pierce and slash weapons that i was aware of, a lvl 40 imbued cestus and cestii</DIV> <DIV>my bruiser just dinged lvl 51</DIV> <DIV>i went to the broker to buy the lvl 50 versions of the cestus and cestii</DIV> <DIV>but there were none on the market</DIV> <DIV>so i chatted with a weaponsmith (a nice guy by the name of Profe btw)</DIV> <DIV>it seems that those 2 weapons can no longer be crafted</DIV> <DIV>it appears they have been replaced by 4 new dual wield weapons, 3 based on cobalt and 1 based on scaled leather</DIV> <DIV>2 of the 4 r slash weapons, the other 2 r crush weapons</DIV> <DIV>so r there any t6 crafted (or looted) pierce weapons available to bruisers (and monks) any more?</DIV> <DIV>if not, is rather a shame after spending the time to level up my pierce skill</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>and btw, the cobalt crush weapon seemed to have the best stats for my bruiser (18 str, 18 agi) of the 4...being cobalt rather than scaled leather, is more expensive than the previous weapons but i guess that's life...so after focusing on pierce and slash skills for 11 levels or so, i am back to 2 dual wield crush weapons <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>or am i missing something?</DIV> <DIV>all these weapons r so new that it's not like i can look them up on the market...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>thanks for your comments</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Shock, 51 barbarian bruiser, The Bazaar</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Checked on my weaponsmith earlier, only level 61 so I don't know about T7, but...There are now these fist weapon recipes:Knuckles (crushing)Fistwraps (crushing)Katar (slashing) available from T4 and upClaw (slashing) available from T6 and upAll of these now use ore as the primary (blackened iron, steel, feysteel, ebon, cobalt, adamantine)So.. no, no craftable, brawler-useable piercing weapons.. and not even any slashing weapons until tier 4. Unless there is something in T7...<div></div>

<DIV>In any event these weapons do slashing damage, yet use the crushing skill correct?  I know my level 40 "mastercrafted" cestii (look like katars) do at least.  We still have to wait until T7 for weapons that actually use the slashing and piercing skills, yes or no?  (I have a level 42 bruiser alt/main-in-training)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by Kaedian on <span class=date_text>06-20-2006</span> <span class=time_text>09:25 AM</span>

Nope the new recipes for claws and katars (since LU24) use the slashing skill check.<div></div>
