ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THE NEW ASYLUM WEAPONS???

Denyiir

Yes, explain.

I'm so happy dw and bow are trash, it will save me from another grind

Princess_Ciri

No, explain.

since Master destro (and also Master Resto) have been nerfed I was hoping the Asylum weapons would be good to farm for a new BiS weapon for my healer. Instead I've just ended up having to use nerfed Master Resto because the Asylum resto is meh and destro doesn't help for healing anyway. And there's zero good 1 pc destro staves for healing now that the Master destro has lost its 1k magicka. Sigh.

Maelstrom destro is the only Destro staff that provide some bonus for healers (well, the bonus is slight but anyways). Because godmode healers weave light attacks between Springs.

Did someone say Master Destro?

Gargath

No, explain.

Not happy untill I see them live and working properly.
Not happy because the effects descriptions look weird and they don't suit best to my playing style.

Grim13

No, explain.

Hell no! It’s just another grind that I can’t be bothered to participate in just so I can meet the next pvp meta...

Ffs, Zos would you stop making me PVE so that I can PVP!?! ;p

Shadzilla

No, explain.

@Denyiir Duuuuuuuuuude, what? After 3.5 years of this game being out, we are now getting our 3rd set of special unique weapons that revolve around specific skills... Weapons like this are extremely important to differentiating playstyles and adding variety to a vast quantity of builds... You are glad most of these weapons are complete trash so you do not have to "grind"? Coming at the same time as the transmutation station giving you the ability to even change the traits of gear? Am I hearing this correctly or am I trippin out?

Denyiir

Yes, explain.

I'm mostly PvP player, and pugging trials over and over wasn't something I was looking forward to tbh, especially since during the week I play in really "dead" hours because of my job.

Also I'm not happy most of these weapons are trash. It's just in one hand I'd really like to get some new strong dw set for my build but in the other I'm kind of relieved it won't be a game changer in PvP and there is no (inner) pressure for me to have them, since as I said the way to obtain them is less than ideal for me.

Shadzilla

No, explain.

Alright, I can accept that. Either way considering the direction these weapons have been going, I highly doubt they will have any sort of relevance towards pvp. Which is kind of sad itself tbh.

It´s kinda sad that they have little relevance - but at the same time i´m glad they don´t have any.

I play with a lot of people who can not raid during primetime on EU-PC. There are no guilds that i know of that raid during off hours (morning or afternoon).
I think these weapons are aquired in the wrong form of content as vet trial (HM) is just too inaccessible for most people.

vDSA and vMSA were very accessible still for most players as you could just run those in one to two hours time during the day.

I think those weapons should be a reward for completing hard content alone. Getting a trial group is harder than the content if you can´t play during primetime

Shadzilla

No, explain.

Are you aware these weapons can be obtained via normal runs as well?

Gnortranermara

No, explain.

Taking our stat bonus killed nearly all of these weapons (Master/Maelstrom included). There's no reason to run a "special" bonus that buffs a single ability when you could run a normal set bonus buffing all abilities. The only way these weapons work is the back bar, if you have the special ability slotted and fill your other slots with mostly buffs or abilities that do not scale with stats. Pushing the hardest to obtain "rewards" onto the back bar kills the motive for playing endgame content and earning these "rewards". I used to be willing to waste an hour or two battling the lag and bad mechanics in Maelstrom, but not anymore.

SanTii.92

Aedaryl

No, explain.

They destroyed the non perfect Alysium destro staff. I will not buy this DLC, because as a pvper, there is nothing interesting for me.

TheNightflame

If the perfect resto staff stays locked behind the incredibly challenging HM, they should at least add a non selfish buff to it. Something like "while your group mates are under the effect of your combat prayer, increase their spell and weapon damage by 5%"

That would be a true healing reward and would be worth the challenge that HM currently is.

The imperfect one is ok as is, it makes resource management easier for healers, which would be useful for people who aren't aiming for score runs, and thus wouldn't think to do HM, and would be obtaining the imperfect resto

SaintSubwayy

No, explain.

so i'm not happy (PVE perspective):

Bow: Useless even with the Recent Buffs to arrowspray

DW: DPS loss, bad design

2H: Decent in Execute with a Stam NB for WM uptime maybe

Destro: Nerfed int the Ground

Resto: Master's sill better

SnB: maybe decent we'll see

Shadzilla

No, explain.

I agree, pvp should have their own versions of these kind of special weapons that are relevantly attainable doing pvp content.

No, explain.

I'd rather have the 1k extra magica back on my Master's resto...

I am. Sadly the normal version for the only magica offensive weapon is decon trash as the difference in potency between normal and perfected is 50%.

Cinbri

Yes, explain.

Simply coz there is sword and board weapon that magicka players can use of.

Witar

Imperfect destro nerf was over the roof, since i will probably not gonna get perfect version anyway. So definitly not happy.

DDuke

Yes, explain.

Like:
Perfect Asylum Bow
Perfect Asylum S&B
Perfect Asylum Destro Staff

Neutral:
Perfect Asylum 2H

Dislike:
Perfect Asylum DW
Perfect Asylum Resto
Imperfect Asylum anything


So uh... kinda happy I guess(?).

Shadzilla

No, explain.

Not many people will be getting perfect weapons any time soon. I have only seen one team clear it.
