Consistency? OPTION? In this game?!?! :twss:

 

Naw, but seriously I see the point to making it a book/wand. Thou I wonder if they'll take this chance to have the boss drop both 2h and dual wield and update KK/Ascension.

 

Releasing all of that in one update would just hurt them in the long run, as they'd have less to release later on.

 

Yeah, you're right. I much perfect dual wield anyway.

 

What I'm more concerned about are the requirements. So far 90 magic for sure and a strong hint to agility. Slayer keeps me from the last boss so as a mid level player I'd like to know how accessible this would be to me.

Don't forget, magic weapon is only half the equation, there is still the T90 magic damage we are missing.

 

I would fully expect that the t90 magic weapons, if released, to make it so that your t80 spell to inflict t90 damage.

 

Since the spells for level 80 and under all do set damage (not tied to weapon) I'd assume they would just up that cap to 90.

I wonder what style will be needed to kill it. We have a range "boss" now. And people melee kk don't they? Seems like it will require mage but idk

T90 magic weapons? Don't be silly, that would devalue Nex's drops!

nex has plenty of other loot.

Don't make me explain the joke lol

Casting with t90 spells with the t90 mage weapons will only work if you are wearing full virtus. Other wise they will be t80 spells. No worries there muggi

Who thought it would be a good idea to make magic work like that?

Mod Mark: "Hmm...yes! This is a great idea. Now I don't have to worry about devaluing Ports armor even more!"

Gonna go out on a limb and make a couple guesses....The Cave and all that landscape there is Vorago. Need skillers to do some stuff like mine away the rock to uncover the area beneath that needs to be attacked.

You mean:

 

"Hmm...yes! This is a great idea. Now I can devalue Ports armor even more without trying!"

Would be really nice to give some real reward other than bragging rights to having high skill levels! Something where you can monetize your skills.

Enhanced Ancient staff: 1912 damage

Chaotic staff: 1951 damage

(this is with blood blitz, level 80 magic)

With shadow rush (level 50) it's 1453 versus 1492

With ice barrage (94) it's the same as blood blitz.

The difference is 39 damage either way, no scaling with weapon tier at all :(. There was/is a rumour that something got fixed here, that magic was good in dg again (admit I thought so too).

 

Godsword: 1824 damage

Chaotic maul: 1936 damage

 

Royal crossbow: 1936 damage

(with royal bolts)

 

So it appears lower tier magic weapons are better because they can use stronger spells? Level 40 mystic lava staff gets 1639 damage w/ barrage, level 60 dragon spear gets 1489 damage.

 

This makes no sense. Either the interface is really buggy, or the system needs (another) rework. Spells should just be changed to equippable ammo made with runecrafting or something. Remove combat spells from the spellbook altogether and integrate spellbooks.

let's make the quest stories of ancients & lunar completely void of anything shall we? The story clearly tells about the choice of different means of living to get to lunar/magic levels. It is indicated quite often that you can't use lunar magic while not being "enlightend"... Don't forget that roleplaying is still a large part of an role playing game.

I would love it if someone could find that compilation of what mod Chris or mark said about the new boss a couple of weeks ago. For the life of me I can't find it ad I know its somewhere on the HLF or FGU.

Hope it actually takes a bunch of people and isn't duoed on the second day. I don't see how they could do this without just tacking on extra lp or some ridiculous entry requirement but would love to be proven wrong.

 

What about an attack that does damage inversely proportional to the amount of people fighting it. So perhaps he simply CANNOT be beaten with less than 5 people, because each hit would be like 10-12k LP. But, with 10 people the special attack only does 3k lp, with 20 people it does 1.5k lp, etc.

 

But yeah I hate those bosses where it's like well, you tried to make this unSOLOable, and now it is just obnoxious.

Time to sell all my melee stuff methinks. :lol:

I can't find that DAMN thread with all the stuff Mod Chris said about the upcoming boss. I'm getting irritated...

I got exactly at the same point using the magic ability. I found that there is a glimmer of light in the rocks where there is no spacing. That is presumably the actual entrance to his lair.

Yeah, that's what I used (see the action bar and my glamorous pose). Not possible to get any further because of the rocks.

It was good in DG until the most recent update (knives/wands/etc.) iirc. Sag short is still the best secondary weapon.

lol the way you stand looks like chester

(....Pushed as far as I can go....)

 

 

Can't use a macaw to spot there?

You might be able to but there's not really anything interesting
