Wyrmslayer + wis line

Zygwen · 05-18-2006, 02:36 AM

Here are some of my observations about using Wyrmslayer with wis line. Overall dps goes up when the mob is fully debuffed however due to a significantly lower attack rating, when the mob is not unbuffed there is a larger chance of missing auto attacks and combat arts. This is especialy noticable agains brawler class mobs. They will even deflect Lung Reversal multiple times when I wield Wyrmslayer.

Wisdom line won't work with Wurmslayer as of LU24. They are changing it so it not only check for empty off-hand, but that also the weapon is not 2-hand.

/sighWhy can't they make Wurmy turn into a one hand weapon as well? That is what it was in eq1... 1h slash. I know there were no dw weapons in eq1, but still.

Yeah I just read the patch notes. SMILEY

I was sort of disapointed that there was no one hander option either. Guess it is back to using Frostwrath and maybe actualy completing claymore one day.

well that blows. I've been fervently attempting to finish up thorn of old hoping to use both the str/wis lines but guess again. [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]

Eh, its not that great. I got wurmslayer about 5 days ago and was expecting a lot more. It owns vs trash, multiple mobs, but against named you miss so much due to it using crushing skill that it is barely better than a fabled 1h. It also totally decimates your Inspiration burst. This really probably hurts the brigands using it more than us. Although I will miss it for xp groups and such.

Ahh cool. I don't feel so bad then about not having it yet then.

It was 1 handed in EQlive. My SK there used it all through the 20's and 30's... not sure why they changed it here. maybe it changed to 2 handed there

Its because the person who created the quest for it in eq2 had no clue on wurmslayer lore in eq1 ( he posted in some other thread about the wurmslayer making himself look dumb in the process )

He obviously had a clue, considering he included Xyfl, Glyton and Azdalin in the quest. In EQ1, there was no 1h, it was either 2h or dual wield. Only '1h' stuff was dw but paladin / sk only and they couldn't dual wield, that was the only reason the item couldn't be dual wielded by anyone else.
