Infallible Aether Swords - BiS and a Unicorn

elium85

With the projected upcoming changes to Minor Slayer, Infallible Aether may become best in slot for a variety of Magicka builds (Mageplar is at the top of the list). However, the Swords are basically unicorns in game with no effective way to grind or obtain.

All three BoP sets drop at a 20% chance from nSO putting the Precise or Sharpened Sword drop chance at less then .3%. Then, in vSO HM, where one would think a higher drop would exist, they're not even on the loot table. Basically, to obtain the swords, one has to convince 12 people to forgo Best in Slot jewelry for some small chance of obtaining a sword that they may or may not need (no other weapons are actually valuable from any of the three sets).

I do not have an easy solution but something needs to be done (add Swords to HM loot table or something).

Minor slayer will now apply to everything in dungeons instead of just bosses.

How are you planning to build? 3x willpower, 4/3 infallible and 5x whatever?

@sAnn92 5x Scathing, 5/3x Aether, vMA Inferno, 2x Skoria

Personally i would go with 5 moondancer instead of aether since you wont really use the heavy attack benefits of aether with dual wield on a magicka dd.
And correct me if im wrong but those are easier to get

While I am happy to discuss the benefits of Aether vs. Moondancer, I'd rather keep this thread on topic.

So you are going to heavy attack with the dw?

Naw, it's a red herring. Honestly most Magicka DD's can ignore that part of the 5x.

kind of is, but I still have gear needs xD

we both know why they did it. if they put much as a single mechanic in there place everyome would camp the forums qq'ing until it was spindleclutch.

Kind og glad it happened, because people will get their fill of the place and move along after it has been fixed. As cheesy and lame as the bug is it's convenient considering all the bis items, and being the 2nd hardest trial (compared to thinking pre-mol days), we'd have waves and waves of cry babies here demanding things fro, the sets dropping in pvp to nerfing the place to wayrest status.

I literally cannot find a reason to be upset about it.

I just hope they fix it by update 11. Anyone with a brain will be in there farming the gear they need before it's fixed, but AA will have a lot of 3 piece sets.

I've only used a couple of them but from what I remember there was (twice fanged snake?) one that increased crit rating in a stacking value, one and offered 2pc weapon dmg.

My personal favorite is a 3 piece (comes in jewelry) and allows ypu to combine poisons and spam healing springd on enemy players to wredk their WD/stamina.

long story short, I hope this gets fixed with update 11, bit I'm glad it's here ATM.
