Ryce - Ninja looter

[khysanth]

Nothing really to say other than to get the information out there.

He ran by our royals camp and ninja'd a Painbringer during some chaos, then just left. When confronted, he started speaking in what I can only guess is Vietnamese.

So he looted it before you could destroy it? Painbringer is one of the worst weapons in the entire game, it`s worthless. It exists only to break mez and kill the bard/chanter. Only morons use it past maybe level 10.

It's situationally useful, a (very) low-rent version of the Blue Two Handed Hammer. It's great for faction-farming, the dmg-delay is pretty solid compared to it's proc equivalents (Obsidian Shard / Kisch / Yak) or non-proc equivalents (EBW / Polished Steel Dirk / Amy Tendril).

Coupled with the fact that its usually given out free compared to (in order) : Rare drop in SolA / Drop in Paw / Rare on Ghoul Lord in GukB / Two Rares deep in Mistmoore Castle / Rare in Qeynos Catacombs / Plane of Fear (lol).....

It's infinitely easier to obtain and usually a rot on top of that.

So what exactly was the original flame here? Did you have a warrior in your group who needed it and yet somehow didnt bang out his loot hotkey the second the champ dropped? Did you not have time to camp in your alt and run him from the zone in? Did you not have an enchanter, which would suggest you actually needed a painbringer to make it rain on those kobold hoes?

I admit i'm kinda lost here.. It's easy to debate that the item is useful, but it's a lot harder to figure out exactly how this item was ninja-looted.. Either the group getting xp was beyond slack or someone is throwing a tissy fit because they couldn't run their alt down there in time.

It doesn't even proc until level 37. Until then it's got decent dmg/delay.

Well, first of all 35 not 37... Guess I could be wrong, I've never had it.

I guess this info where it says (At level 35) is not true?

I never got it during live because I figured that by the time level 35 comes around, I wouldn't want an AoE proc weapon because I'd always be in groups with crowd control. Go figure. Guess I could have had it all along.

Or is this just a bug here no P99? Did it always proc at level 1?

I was responding to this - if it isn`t true just disregard my last post.
