	Nightshard is the highest dps weapon for dexterity builds and has an innate cc proc with improved salt. There is also Timeshard with a viable paralyze DC and high proc chance. Even if Flow's guardbreaking were to be put on an ICD, the other 2 options are still just as good. I doubt sharn is going to have raid weapons. We have an already extensive list of almost every weapon type represented in Ravenloft, Age of Rage, and KT. They will most likely focus on all the other items to expand the options in each slot.

Necklace, boot, goggle, armor, cloak and belts are very limited currently. Silent set is one of the biggest reasons why armor/cloak/belt is only so few choices. As long as the set remains ssg cannot design better or equal in slot items there. Who gives up 15 strike, 3d6 sneak, bypass, and helpless for just a few more stat points or an extra effect slot? No one will. We are actually saturated with weapons right now. Not in quantity but quality. How much better can Sharn weapons be? Some extra dice, higher dice value? Will this really make you happier than having more gearing options instead of obsoleting the weapons we have now? I doubt ssg wants to push dps even higher by making even stronger weapons + better gear in Sharn. You really prefer a new maul with slightly higher dps over having more gearing options? They need to stop the obsoleting of weapons and gear, and with sharn they have the opportunity to do just that.

You can probably count on one hand how many times Turbine/SSG has done the right thing. The only thing they ever do is put out more new shinnies instead of fixing old stuff that could have been cool if they did it correctly. Where I am not disagreeing with you per say, I just have 0 faith in SSG. And, if I am going to be charged Ravenloft money for this expansion, it better have some of everything. If they want to go heavier on gear, fine. But they need to hit everything if they are charging premium price points.

I know you're right. Most players feel the same. I was just kind of hoping they got really creative suddenly and did something different. They're not in a place where they can afford to be, so what we get is more of the same cycle. Which is just so crazy to me, like why would they make all these Morninglord/Nightmother/Strahd/Baba/KT/Rage weapons just to turn around the very next year and make all or most of all of it largely useless. The amount of weapons we got last year and this year was a massive undertaking. We never really got so many at once before. It used to be just a few odd ones splashed through expansions or updates. Wheloon/Horns had a few, but that era was mostly CitW as in BIS. Then we got TF and that was BIS with all types represented. Which were pretty much the best weapons until Legendary Shroud? That was a good amount of time. I would love the same effort they put into RL weapons suite to be the focus for Sharn except for armors and items. Imagine having multiple armors that contest for BIS in each category. And then the same opulence for every other gear slot. it would radicalize the game in a way that hasn't really been before. Closest we got was LGS items or maybe TS/HoX Armors, and even then it was not even close to the size and immense scale of what we got with RL and this year's packs for weapons.

	It would almost be better if no traditional gear dropped in Sharn. I'm really hoping for a flexible set-bonus crafting system that is compatible with the rest of the game. IDGAF if it looks like sentient armour, but it should operate like that. Then slap 2 different cosmetic sets for each type of armour, cloak, helmet. Give us BIS helms in the raids to incentive Reaper skull pushing for efficient farming. Make some MCGUFFIN that lets us buy lvl 36 cannith crafting shards. That gives cannith some life.

	I've got 2 capped weapons and 3 five slot items. I do a white plume a couple times a week on r1. Once in a while I'll farm it for an hour or so. Otherwise I run RXP at cap. We run through all the level 30 content every 2 weeks or so. We run house J and certain quests a lot more but that depends on people outside guild.

Right now seems R7-8 is the sweet spot for most quests because you can zerg. And for raids... r1

	In my experience elite always dropped more loot than any other diff, including reaper. But assuming Lyn is right, so you� have 1% more chance per skull for dropping named, that doesn't mean you have more chance that the named you dropped comes with reaper bonus on r1 than r10. Still... it's 9% more chance to get an item be it gem food or what you want

	Strength based Tempest should be significantly ahead on dps now over dexterity based versions due to Razor + Whelm and Knight's Training. Razor is essentially a Calamity with 2 extra weapon dice, and Whelm is a Calamity but with an extra OC feat. And Whelm turns Razor into Calamity with 2 more weapon dice and an extra OC tacked on. This is what I have for Str based. Quote: Head Legendary Executioners Helm Neck Fleetfoot Eyes Van Richten's Spectacles Trinket Crafted Dodge 15/Healing amp 61/Insightful STR +7 Armor Legendary Mist-Laden Vestment Back Legendary Shadowhail Cloak Wrists Legendary Packbanner Hands Molten Silver Gauntlets Waist Legendary Braided Cutcord Feet Slavers Str/Accuracy/Stunning/Q Str Ring 1 Legendary Ring of Nightfall Ring 2 Slavers Con/Resistance/Tendon Slice /Q PRR � � Difference between Junk's list on OP and this are ; - 8 melee power -2 stunning -8 reflex - 4 con +1 Str +10 doublestrike + 12 Wisdom + Fleetfoot proc + Tendon Slice Resistance slaver suffix could be devotion so that is a wash. Main things are 10 doublestrike is more dps than 8 MP. And you get a slightly higher will save, and some soft cc in tendon slice/Fleetfoot proc. As for the feats, you probably drop Sneak of Shadows and swap to Arborea over Ethereal. Dust and Vacuum are too good now and Razor + Whelm is larger base damage than any other combination prior. Can also omit dodge for the IC Bludgeon feat for Whelm. And maybe replace Empower spell with Blinding Speed.� Edited the feats ; Level 1 (Ranger) Feat: (Selected) Toughness/Weapon Focus Feat: (Favored Enemy) Favored Enemy: Undead Feat: (Human Bonus) Precision Level 3 (Ranger) Feat: (Selected) Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Khopesh Level 5 (Ranger) Feat: (Favored Enemy) Favored Enemy: Giant Level 6 (Ranger) Feat: (Selected)Knight Training Level 9 (Ranger) Feat: (Selected) Improved Critical: Slashing Weapons Level 10 (Ranger) Feat: (Favored Enemy) Favored Enemy: Orc Level 12 (Ranger) Feat: (Selected) Improved Critical: Piercing Weapons (for Celestias and Flow) Level 15 (Ranger) Feat: (Favored Enemy) Favored Enemy: Evil Outsider Feat: (Selected) Quicken Spell Level 18 (Ranger) Feat: (Selected) IC : Bludgeoning Level 20 (Ranger) Feat: (Favored Enemy) Favored Enemy: Human Level 21 (Epic) Feat: (Selected) Epic: Overwhelming Critical Level 24 (Epic) Feat: (Selected) Maximize Level 26 (Epic) Feat: (Epic Destiny) Primal Sphere: Perfect Two Weapon Fighting Level 27 (Epic) Feat: (Selected) Epic: Blinding Speed Level 28 (Epic) Feat: (Epic Destiny) Tactician Level 29 (Epic) Feat: (Epic Destiny) Multiple Spheres: Dire Charge Level 30 (Epic) Feat: (Selected) Epic: Epic Reflexes Feat: (Legendary) Scion of Arborea
