MAKE ARENA WEAPONS GREAT AGAIN

Rukzadlithau

Previous skill altering weapons should get the „Blackrose“ treatment and have a 1 piece bonus for perfected versions.

Hone the effort that goes into aquiring perfected weapons, and make it easier for beginners to enter competition with non perfected versions.

This is also an opportunity to fix balancing issues with the Asylum weapons.

For some weapons, the difference between normal and perfected is so small that there's really no benefit to using the perfected version. E.g., the resto's cost reduction improves from 27% to 30%.

And for the destro staff, the difference is massive--the perfected version will proc 50% more often. A year ago during the CwC PTS, this was the biggest complaint levied against the Asylum weapons. The problem is that the normal version is so weak that there's really no reason to use it. Particularly now that Elemental Weapon is a thing. Three casts to apply all 3 status effects for the normal Asylum destro. Whereas Elemental Weapon will apply 1 status effect per cast and thus 3 status effects in 3 casts (though no guarantee that the 3 will be different). The normal staff will apply status effects at the same rate as Elemental Weapon. Except using an ability that costs more than Elemental Weapon. And consuming two set bonuses.

This will be an opportunity to remake the Asylum bonuses to make them more fair. Give normal Asylum weapons the perfected 2p effect. So normal Asylum resto will reduce cost by 30%, and normal Asylum destro will proc every 2 casts. And then add the stat bonus to the Perfected versions.

The end result is that for most weapons, there will be a more significant difference between normal and perfected and more incentive to get and use the perfected. And for the destro, there will be less difference between the two and the normal version will not be so worthlessly bad.

I had no idea my normal Asylum staff was actually that bad. The build seems to be working though, so I’m not sure what to do?

Yes

Anything other then Mealstrom bow and destro staff is just plain useless in PvE, not sure about PvP though

Yes

Build that arena! Build that arena!

No. Making them ‘great again’ implies going back to now things were before. What the OP is suggesting is something NEW. If you are going to use that stupid slogan, at least use it correctly for bloody sake!

Yes

Only fi they put an imperfect version in normal because what is the point of a perfected version if they arent a inperfect one

Thumbs down for the over used, tired political phrase.

Mods please close.

It's a bloody great slogan that can easily be customised to suit any purpose of one's own choosing. That comment says more about you than the person using the slogan in their own way.

Keep the politics and the biased fueled pettiness off the ESO Forums and don't make a big deal out of nothing.

I play video games to get away from any political implications.

The use was deliberate and unnecessary.

Of course it's deliberate. It's catchy and goes well with pretty much anything you want it to go with. Like I said in my comment, it's great because of what you can do with it.

Also, both a bit ironic and hypocritical you saying you play games to get away from politics, yet here you are on a forum for a game calling for a thread to be closed for political reasons. You brought up politics, not the OP.

Guys, calm down.
Trump clearly copied that slogan from me.
