Miscellaneous: Please balance thex dagger

Dfn · #1 12-01-2011, 05:27 PM

To balance every single player on the server having innate +50 disease resist. Since we're in the mindset of ignoring classic, I propose creating a shaman only ranged slot item of equal power to equally fuck fire nukers, cold nukers, magic nukers, and melee.

There were only a handful of Thex daggers on live. Now any idiot can get one with 30 minutes and a level 1. One item increasing resistance to shamans by 150%. Great idea. I'll take the Shaman version that gives me 150% more MR, FR, CR, or AC. Your choice.

Also, the quest should be doable in 30min on a level 1 too.

Manastones, Guises, Boxes of Abukar, Rubi, etc should be equally common and obtainable by level 1s in 20min. Why limit inflation to just 1 legendary item.

Because disease dots are absolutely crucial to shaman PvP, right? I'm guessing this item was originally created because disease resist is nearly impossible to stack up to a high level. The fact that it's currently very common is just because people know what they didn't know back in 1999. This is true for hundreds of things. Should they give the server -75% xp because people now know the best ways to level? Or make raid mobs twice as hard because we don't need to learn the strategies from scratch? This is all just something you have to live with, and in a year I'm sure plenty of people won't have Thex daggers. Regardless, shamans are still among the strongest classes in the game even with it around. It's not as if disease dots are their primary threat in PvP, plus you can debuff that resist, and people will still have less dr than mr and often fr/cr as soon as the usual resist gear becomes common.

Besides. Thex daggers minimally inconvenience you against what? bards and shadowknights? big deal.

Thex Dagger (common item) + Resist Disease (half the classes can cast) = 115 DR with no other items. Impossible to stack, right? FIFTY disease resist for a RANGED slot.

Why aren't Egg Shaped Pumice in? They are classic but were left out because of being overpowered in PvP. How can that fly when there were hundreds of Thex Daggers on the server in under two weeks.
