Change the weighted trait

Lynx7386 · February 2015

This patch is getting rid of all sources of increased attack speed, except for the weighted trait on weapons. We already know why attack speed/haste effects are being removed, and it makes enough sense, so why hasnt weighted been altered as well?

I'd suggest making it a raw bonus to weapon damage and spell power, as we currently dont have a trait for that and it'd fit well with the other stat changes in the new system.

Maybe it should do what Nirhoned does for spell resistence and spell penetration, have it raise armor and armor penetration?

If my beloved haste is to be completely gone, I was thinking that Weighted could perhaps provide a stamina cost (or magicka cost for staves) to some degree.

Weapon Pen sounds like trait#10 and + to WP and/or SD is just way too much for a base trait. Instead change Weighted (+10% Weapon Speed) to +10% Light and Heavy Attack damage. It would literally equal the 10% and they wouldn't be stepping on what will probably be Trait 10. BTW, have tested it on PTS for the last hour, weighted is still bugged and doesn't work. We need to have this replaced before 1.6 goes live. Again, 10% to LA & HA will be the exact same thing but in game mechanics we know will actually work.

We need to replace it with something that works but isn't equal to or better than Nirnhoned, since it is a base trait that can be found anywhere it should do what weighted would have accomplished if there were no animation cancelling and the blasted thing actually worked for once.
