Torc Farming - what works with what?
Mar 5th, 2015 at 7:02pm
Print Post  
I was toying with doing some melee/caster-type lives in the future and was wondering about what items stack.

I have heard that the Torc of Prince Rayum(or whatever Tongue) stacks with a Concordant Opposition greensteel.

I have also heard that Conc weapons stack with both.

What about 2 conc weapons?

E.G. could I just strap on dual concs, a torc, and a conc item, and just sit there absorbing melee and watching my bluebar refill?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Right..


~To the OP~

Conc accessory + conc weapon + torc + runearm = never-ending mana supply..


~Points to the bastardsword arti in the corner~ he was a great battery one day.. now hes useless Tongue


~Edit: Note i only listed ONE conc weapon, you can use two, if you really want, only one can proc~

Yes.

Are you from the future? Could you look up some winning lottery numbers?

Research the mother boards.  This argument was hashed years ago.

Heh, these kids and their retro.

Torc is its own deal. 

Con-op item and weapon will proc separately.  This has been under a "could be fixed at any time" caveat since the recipe was discovered, but I think it's safe to assume it's here to stay.

For what it's worth, I never see the bottom half of my blue bar when I play melee druids with just a con-op kama.

so conc weapon + runarm but not conc weapon + conc weapon?

Well that will require slightly more farming to achieve.

Fortunately I actually SEE master artificer and lord of blades raids up lately...

Given the drop rates I may actually have an easier time getting the runearm than the torc, unless they've fixed the drop rate on it(I seem to recall a friend doing some 100+ runs without getting one)

But then the torc is useful on a non-artificer.

Either way, I'll get both, mostly because I'm officially at the "acquire neat chachis" stage of gameplay.

one might give a shit about farming out a Torc if you didn't have to run the pre-raid every damn time.

A draining weapon gives you (temp.) SP when you hit things. A GS weapon gives you HP or SP if you are hit. I prefer draining.

Who's in a quest long enough to wait for their blue bar to refill, really?

Didn't you geniuses dupe enough superior pots to have stacks until 2020?

Hey, some of us geniuses really aren't, ok? Tongue

Actually I didn't even know you COULD dupe pots. I only ever had ingredients and even then, like a bitch, I was all "Oh, moderation! I have to do this in moderation or it will ruin the game for me!" pfffft, I have 35k tf ingots and I worry it won't be enough!

Just out of curiosity, precisely how hard is it to get an Epic Torc? Are we talking "Rarer than eSoS" hard or what.

Epic torc offers no benefit over a heroic torc aside from a slot.
I have 2 of them and wish I had left them as heroic.
Well, I used to. I almost never wear the torc at all anymore.
ross (for heroics) & eross (for epics) is much better.

Any chance you'll elaborate on what "ross" is? my abbreviation-fu is very weak...
