Genesis Forums

My point is that there are certain effects that belong to very few weapons. For example, nightvision, invisibility, etc. I don't think there should be one weapon of every class doing the same (I don't like the fact that there are corrupted mithril halberds/flails/swords/bows instead of just axe as originally was). I don't complain because I don't have a club that lets me see in darkness, or an axe that makes others bleed.

Actually, most Avenir weapons could count as partially bleeding as the wounds they leave prevent healing. It can make quite a huge difference when the fight lasts a bit (against some tanks perhaps) and they don't get their usual regen to sustain the damage.

And yeah, I remember something about CMS dealing damage instead of healing when in hands of evil char, but I might be wrong here. Poleaxe ftw!

Edit:
To the post below me: *applaud*

Healing weapons are stupid.
There should not be any.

And if you say so, then how come there are any?

I mean, can't you just fix them to be non-healing?

They are very few items, so shouldn't be that hard.

Or is it only your opinion, and not that of the whole administration?

For once I agree with Cot, healing weapons are retarded, if there are to be any they sure as hell shouldnt be align restricted as it is a huge bonus

It's my opinion too. But Genesis as you have probably figured out is much more than just what a single person thinks. There's plenty of historic precedent, domain lore, and thematic considerations that drive whether such changes should be made. But who knows, maybe tomorrow they'll all disappear.

I was going to bring up this topic before, but was going to say there is a lack of lifestealing weapons. Sure a heal proc is nice, but a drain life dagger like Aretmis Entreri has, is truly evil.

Imho, there should be more weapons that restrict use based on alignment and stats.

especially towards the cap Nomog's club has - can't have X higher than ... to wield

I like the variety that unique weapons give. Saying they are stupid overlooks the depth they add to the game.
So since we are naming the weapons, I forgot the stick and was thinking it was the mithril capped pike which maybe healed.
Rhynox is right, there are lots of different buffs etc but I was just talking about healing because I thought it was axe dominated.
The single sword I was thinking of was the sabre. The others are news to me.
You all forgot the soul reaper axe, which also has a heal when charged. Unless that changed.
Its a very cool weapon, great wizardly work and I wonder why the life-stealer blade doesn't do something similar?

I do not see any problem having weapons that offer something different.
The crytal axe is top of the pile because it is 1 handed, uber damage and non dulling.
But there are other weapons equal in uberness so no reason for it to be nerfed.

BSA could be carried around in a pack to give burst healing on command (think its unique in that).

SoH can be thought of as more of a poison weapon, dominated by knives but second most by polearms (strangely perhaps).
There is also a poison club or two, don't know any sowrds or axes.
Sybarus wounds do not do damage, just restirct regeneration so less like a poison.

Having been around for so long, its quite amazing (and a little worrying) that I learned so much from reading this thread.
