DSA Master Weapons on Normal

Paneross

Supposedly a buddy got one on normal. It was CP160 but it was blue.

Is it confirmed there's still a chance for them to drop on normal?

sluice

I've heard the rumor also.

But I know people that have run it in normal and haven't got any weapon.

If it's a thing, it's definitely not a 100% drop chance like in Veteran.

Paneross

I need a solid answer regarding normal.

Paneross

Pics would help

Paneross

I asked him to take a pic but he said he upgraded it right away.

sluice

Like I said, I know people that have run it 2 or 3 times together and never got any Master Weapon drop..

So, if it does drop, the chances are minimal.
Personally, I think they only drop in Veteran.

Voxicity

Still no solid answer on this?

idk

I think you have gotten as solid an answer as you can expect. A wishy washy maybe.

It just has not been out that long and unless someone links a v160 master weapon house quality it questionable. If they do link an image of it then It's still a maybe.

Someone in my guild got a master weapon from normal dragonstar, peeps are soloing it for that reason lol ps4 btw

Flaminir

@ZOS_Finn can you confirm this? Can master weapons drop from the scaled normal DSA?

Sallington

I can't imagine a reason why they would let Master Weapons drop from normal DSA.

DocFrost72

I soloed DSA reg, ran it multiple times since then, and even duoed a couple times to help a buddy level. Not a single weapon.

I'd need a link to believe it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember these dropping at a level below maximum on normal back when it was released & with a lower drop chance... so V13 for normal, and V14 on vet.

My Then V13 master's bow confirms your assertion.

This was the old days and a v13 master was better than a v14 crafted. However, a CP150 master, if it existed, would be inferior to a crafted CP160 weapon due to the extra bonus we get Golding out a CP160 weapon.

A backbar Master's bow and it's +300 WD disagrees with you, politely.

Yep agree & aware of that... was just making the point where people are saying they don't think they drop on normal, that they always used to.... so by extrapolation it seems quite possible that they may still do so.

Paneross

Can a Dev deny or confirm please?

idk

@DocFrost72 the one exception.

The master sword is also the holy grail of sword and board...

But true, the gap between Master/Maelstrom and crafted isn't as big as it used too with the more powerful glyphs that we now have.

The master bow is great, but a bow with weapon damage glyph will give you 348 weapon damage (418 if infused) for 5 seconds OVERALL, not just on a target affected by your Poison Injection.

Does OVERALL(for a potentially shorter duration) VS SINGLE (from poison Inject.) target matter?
Just ask the 3+ person that will get nuke by your Dawnbreaker + Reverse Slice combo...

Paneross

Would there be a reason why a Dev couldn't answer this for us?

idk

@Paneross

First reason is you didn't flag any to get their attention.
Second, they have probably already communicated it indirectly. And maybe directly. They tend to not repeat themselves often.

I don't know who they are.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_RichLambert can we get an answer on this please?

altemriel

I believe there could be a very small percentage chance to drop also on non-vet


but it is just my guess though...

Why not both? PI/light attack, switch to greatsword light attack for both enchants to proc.

In PvE, the above is godly. Also, kudos on picking up on the master's sword. Turtle behind shield and spam a super low cost attack that heals you 2k.

Yeah that is a good idea!
But not very possible if you are running a Maelstrom Weapon on front bar.

But then again it's the difference between having an extra189 constant weapon damage or an extra 348 for 5 seconds, every 7-8seconds? (Not sure of the cooldown duration of the weapon enchant)

I never said I got the master sword, unfortunately...
I totally would be stoke if I got one, but I'd much prefer a decent Maelstrom bow and that Maelstrom 2H for now.

Hämähäkki

We had the discussion in the german part of the forum and one of the guys who said he got one apologized yesterday for the false infomation. I and others were runing dsa normal for a while and didn't get any weapon. So i think we all have to run the vet mode.

Beardimus

Not much help but we ran it first time yesterday and no master. A ton of all the other sets tho
