Do Master weapons still drop from normal DSA post patch?

Browiseth · August 2016

Probably a silly question, but I've got a sinking feeling in my gut you can only get Master weapons in Vet DSA now; can anyone give a confirmation?

Vanzen · August 2016

I d like to know this as well.

Vet dsa seems to be a real pain.

Guild did it in 3 hours. ...

I dont want to spend that much time specially with the RNG crap.

I ll content myself with 150cp weap.

Based on the last Patch Notes I assume that Master Weapons are now 100% guaranteed from Veteran DSA last arena, but still have a chance to drop in normal mode. Just not 100% chance. Because there are also other drops from DSA available. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, I figure. It just feels like something that would be changed is all, since normal DSA is so easy now (i'm able to solo it no problem)

Is the Crushing Shock for the mages in the second round in Veteran Dragon Star Arena new? If it is then it sucks, because my group just got wiped more than five time because the "NPC" spammed us with Crushing Shock. Every time we looked at the damage overview it was almost nothing but Crushing Shock. You should get rid of it or at least decrease the the amount of time they use it.

The tank needs to tell people when to block with that attack.

Anyone know?

There's another thread on the issue here. And comments in other threads here and here. No answers, that I can find though.

No; I nor the people I have been running with have received a Master weapon since the hotfix.

I am kind of divided on how I feel about that.

In some sense I can get why some players only want them dropping from the Vet version, but I do feel that every player who goes through even Normal DSA should have a chance of getting one, HOWEVER, I do feel the quality should be either White or Green due to the difficulty difference.

The Vet version I feel should be giving out the Purple with a chance at a Gold one.

@Nebular I'm divided too, but selfish reasons makes me want them to drop in nDSA (so I can solo it). If they do drop but in white or green or blue, it'd be so easy, costless even, to just upgrade them to gold. If they dropped at 150 though, it might be better to keep a non-master weapon (set piece at 160) in my build.

Should add a possibility to get master weapons through pvp. Sick of all the *** you can only get in pve.

Hrm, I wish someone from ZOS would pop in to answer this. @ZOS_Finn ?

That reminds me, I need to post about the bug we've found which prevents progress in Vet DSA. Another thread for that one, I think.

I'm SHOCKED that somebody from ZOS didn't come through... Should have called it POS I guess...

How about a guaranteed weapon (of whatever color) when you get the achievement for the initial completion of nDSA, and random chance for one thereafter?

theyre getting ready to up the armor cap and therefore removed this
else people could get weapons in cp150 and upgrade the level (when this update is made)

No they are not. They confirmed that no gear cap raise will come in the near future.
