The unicorn is less than 5% of the entire tattoo.

Just so newcomers don't miss out, the tat definitely deserves to be shown again.

No, I said I'm glad I didn't go crazy like the guy who payed a FRDS and 200k for a falcion.


I'm glad it got nerfed, because now I don't have to feel bad about the Terror sitting in my bank tempting me to pick up Imp Crit slash just to play with a broken "better than pre-nerf vorpal, but not vorpal" weapon.

5% less of a proc +saves, my thaaraks are suddenly much easier to swap out for non-acid dps wraps, maybe those new ones from the raid, oh wait...  Well there's the grave wrappings...but I don't really need +10 stunning anymore so they're still pretty situational.  Endless light are pretty good DPS but only really shine (get it?!) against undead... Guess it's finally time to start grinding out those Alchemicals or icy burst some of the new lootgen next time the snow starts falling.

Doesn't bother me either.  It was kinda stupid watching the PK's just bloom constantly.  It was fun while it lasted like every other short term exploitable ability has been in the past.

I failed the will save vs giggling but thankfully made the fort save vs pooing myself.

I don't mind when they change things.

I just wish they would put the changes in the release notes.

Yes, that was quite funny coming on the heels of Mad Floyd responding in the "Transparency" thread that they are being more transparent.

Turbine is about as transparent when it comes to patch notes as 40 tons of lead.  However, their screw ups they couldn't hide behind the moon, they just hang out like a muffin top on Roseanne Barr.

Meh, needed a nerf, just irritated there's no point in high crit-ranges for the things anymore.

Besides, actually fixing the underlying problem is so much harder than changing an “on-crit” to an “on-vorpal”.  Phantasmal Killer requires you to fail 2 saves not fail either of 2 saves.

You make analogies like a hyperbolic analogy generator.

Yes, but the nerf pretty much rendered all Terrors, tharrak wraps, and Nightmare items as complete vendor trash.

Do you see anyone using Vorpals since they were nerfed?

Nope. Why I offered the counter-proposal.

Edit: 'course, it was slipped in last second to live, and it's Feather-of-suckit, so odds of a reasonable compromise happening without someone from above beating him into submission on the subject are zero to null.

Yeah, this. At least I don't have to run Hound on my cleric any more, in case I make her more monky Smiley

There's still some Nightmare items on the AH priced fairly high; quick, sell yours before people use their decoder rings and find the secret notes Turbine has on their release notes about the nerf.

Everyone knew the nerf to Terror was incoming eventually, it's just painful since it was one of the better weapons to use in Running with the Devils elite.

Least unexpected, yeah.  Everytime I ran through a quest with it, I joked about it.

However, I think the frustration about the nerf is three-fold:
1)  It wasn't in the release notes until it was brought up the players on their forums.  This just after we had MadFloyd tell us they were being more transparent.

2)  They changed it from OP to completely useless.

3)  A Dev (Feather of Sun) thinks it is still pretty good weapon (this is frustrating because he obviously doesn't understand why it would NOT be used now and why it is useless now.

Just keep an eye out for lower level lootgen unholy weapons now.
