I think people are still struggling to conquer the new trial and Dragonstar Arena, the only place these weapons drop. It may be a couple weeks until we see pictures floating around.1

Illumous✭✭✭Someone posted this on the Dragonstar Arena Challenge thread somewhat recently.
Do we have any pictures of the Grand Healing Restoration Staff? I'm super psyched to find out the specifics of it!Sol-Illumous | Breton Templar | Mag Support/Healer | EP

Nope it's not the only place it drops. You will also be able to obtain this weapons through PvP by placing high on the leader boards.0 -

This is from normal mode but looks to be the same except for the quality of the items.
Aw man... Really Zeni? Only 23 Stamina and only on the first tick... Sharpened instead of Precise... Lost all incentive to go out and look for this one.

...Seriously?
Hardmode is the same items, except one quality lower (because it is so difficult to come across 8 Dreugh Wax/Tempering Alloy/Rosin)?
Disappointed.2 -
kkampaseb17_ESO✭✭✭That is what it is disappointing? How about the traits...unless they are random and you can get more than 1 trait.
Master's sword - Sharpened
Master's Restoration staff -Sharpened
Master's Inferno staff - Charged
Master's Ice staff - Defending
Master's Dagger - Defending (WTFFF)
The other part is the balance behind the abilities and I don't mean from a PvE perspective. In PvP you can spam Puncture. They gave one of the most damaging spammable stamina abilities to be able to heal for 207 HPs.....They gave a spammable non DoT ability +78 damage and reduced cost. Yet they gave Master's dagger a feeble +24 damage per tick on a DoT ability which means an effective 12 DPS. In order for this to be effective it should have been a 40-50DPS boost at least. Even if you consider using 2 of those daggers and IF they stack it is still a 24DPS boost for the loss of 2 set bonuses and other enchant effects?
Can someone explain how this is balanced especially from a PvP perspective?0 -

✭✭✭✭I think we can conclude that whoever is on charge of the itemization needs to do a lot better job...
Using the Master's Dagger would actually result in DPS loss in both PvE & PvP, as you'd have to sacrifice your normal damaging/armor reducing enchantment in order to get aforementioned 12DPS. Also the defending trait...
I don't know what to say

Shiall✭✭More items to salvage...nice.
P.S. I have no idea why they creating all this trash loot with useless traits and/or with mushroom set bonuses.2 -
madangrypally✭✭✭✭
The traits on these items make them pretty worthless IMO like most dropped sets. They either need to allow us to change traits or make them random.3 -
Kego✭✭✭✭I hoped for some Stamina love with the altered Grand Healing but giving out 23 Stamina only and that for a 3 second duration Heal is somewhat stupid.
I hoped their would be at least 100 Stamina for every tick of Grand Healing...
23 Stamina is 1/10 of the Skillcost from one flying dagger.Edited by Kego on September 5, 2014 2:08PM1 -

100% This.
It seems to me that their team responsible of itemization is totally out of touch with the playerbase / haven't been informed about the concerns.
Why else repeat what happened with Crypt of Hearts? Most people run that dungeon only once to get the achievements, and then never touch it again (because there is no reason to, gearwise). If changes aren't made, all that effort made into creating Dragonstar Arena will be wasted, since people will have no reason of running it (except for the achievements).
We were promised "seasonal gear" a while ago (main reason that brought me back from my one month hiatus from the game), which hints at some kind of gear progression atleast.
Several questions that require answers:
a) What is the status with the "seasonal gear"? Will we be able to see some kind of gear progression at some point?
b) What is the reason behind "Exploration" and similar traits on VR13-14 loot from difficult end-game content? Isn't that gear supposed to be the strongest gear available to players?
c) Why are lower level item-sets simply being recycled for end-game content instead of creating new sets with interesting new bonuses? What's the deal with hardmode providing same gear as normal mode?
Would really appreciate answers.5 -

Both morphs of cleave are awesome for that right now, just no one tries or knows about them.Alacrity

This, I love my carve morph, does respectable damage too. Only problem is the area affected is a bit small, the range isn't god awful but at least a little low, but the real problem is the frontal arc rather than pbaoe.
Unfortunately, pbaoes don't seem to give up any effectiveness by being pbaoes, and therefore seem superior in the long run to me. But that's really besides the point, cleave+morphs is pretty good right now.
People just see the dot and therefore are turned off from spamming it, methinks, and rightfully so imo. Personally I hate when people use or are forced to use insta damage+dot abilities like venom arrow and cleave to spam, it makes my ocd hurt.

Most dropped and PvP sets have this same philosophy. "Let's make them Such that they look really cool but if they think a second most people will decide they suck". Example Wrath of the imperium. A set for critical based Destro users that has attack speed on the most popular crit based Destro staff. Maybe it would have been OP if it had crit on the inferno staff but now it is useless,I think we can conclude that whoever is on charge of the itemization needs to do a lot better job...
Using the Master's Dagger would actually result in DPS loss in both PvE & PvP, as you'd have to sacrifice your normal damaging/armor reducing enchantment in order to get aforementioned 12DPS. Also the defending trait...

demonlkojipub19_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Those master weapons don't look worth the time to collect, or use. Every one of those enchantments should simply be another morph route or simply added to existing morphs for the skills in question.3 -

not to mention health on the rings instead of magicka, and the same amount of health as you would have gotten magicka not even 150% lmao2 -
Draconerus✭✭✭Having completed Hardmode Dragonstar Arena I can confirm the time and effort it takes to complete the trial is not worth the drops for the weapons at all. The traits are all wrong and many of the enchantments are worthless.Draconerus

Kego✭✭✭✭Random Stats are okay but their should be a way to change Enchants and Glyphs through crafters, as well as in PvE their should never ever drop Legendary Gear. That as well should only be possible to update via crafting.

Honestly, crafting is far too powerful in this game as-is... when 90% of the best gear can be bought for gold and earned with no skill involved, just time spent grinding some cash... there's a big problem with the rewards system as a whole. Enchants and glyphs already can be changed on drops. Edited by Attorneyatlawl on September 9, 2014 11:07AM-First-Wave Closed Beta Tester of the Psijic Order, aka the 0.016 percent.
Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!

Kego✭✭✭✭Oh, thats new to me, that skill is involved with completing Trails.
And I don't have a problem with the reward system. I want a world where I can live and feel the adventure and not the work with stupid Raid Item Grinds ever week, 2-4 days for 3-4 hours each. (I have enough work every week with my 9h/d)
That sucks so hard and I would leave at once, if this will ever be the way, ESO moves.
