Why are charged Maelstrom Weapons a drop?

Trenia · July 2016

I get the useless traits on some weapons, but this trait literally does not do anything for maelstrom weapons as they have a 100% proc rate. Why am I getting charged weapons? It makes no sense to put them in the loot table.

Ask the Dev Team, there are countless Players who are wondering the very same question

I think charged applies to poison aswell now. So rather than 20% of the time maybe a little higher.

Because they like giving out useless traits on end game gear. And at the same time they remove a trait vital for one aspect of the game from all PvE content.

You didn't read the trait effect correctly.

Answer is simple: if you got what you wanted in 1 try, why would you keep playing?

I agree. I enjoy the grind. I don't mind the RNG, but these weapons essentially have no trait. I think Zenimax overlooked it. I wouldn't complain about a defending weapon, even if it was not what I wanted.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't poison effectively disable the enchant on a weapon? Why in god's name would you ever run poisons on a maelstrom weapon?

Some people, like me, get what they want on their second try and I still do it. Because I wants moar stuffs

Me personally I wouldn't know I haven't attempted the Arena yet and after reading these complaints. I'll stick with craftable gear for the time being. Sure I'll do less DPS but I couldn't care less I want to have fun and enjoy myself not to do the virtual equivalent of sweatshop work. Now excuse me while I'll respec my Orc in Heavy Armor dual wielding swords.

I want Maelstrom Daggers/Axes. I've put in 100+ runs with tons of weekly rewards have have gotten exactly zero of them. My motivation for continuing Maelstrom Arena is at an all time low.

THAT will make me stop playing. Getting what I want means I can start running trials with far better DPS as well as Vet dungeons. Not sure how if I get what I want all of a sudden ESO is finished lol.

Low drop chance. *** traits. It's what we have been saying. I guess only players who got them early are satisfied.

Charged just increases your chances of inflicting an enemy with status effects (e.g. burning, chilled, poisoned, concussion, diseased, etc.)
