Master Weapons ?

raasdal · August 2016

vDSA should also mean revival of Master Weapons - but i don't see them mentioned specifically in the Patch Notes, which i would have thought them to be.

Can anyone confirm if Master Weapons are back?

Yeah, they are

Dragonstar Arena
Added Powered versions of The Master's Greatsword, Sword, Inferno Staff, and Restoration Staff to the pool of possible Master Weapons available in the Dragonstar Arena.
The Archer's Mind, Destruction Mastery, Footman's, and Healer's Habit sets now have shields in Infused, Divines, Well-Fitted, Reinforced, and Sturdy from Dragonstar Arena drops. Before, they were only available in Infused.
The Ice Comet ability used by monsters will no longer apply a stun and damage prior to impact.
Anka-Ra Shadowcasters will no longer attempt to target player characters out of range of the Celestial Blast.
Certain monsters that could infinitely respawn will no longer grant loot or experience.
You will now get a Master’s Weapon from the final arena in Veteran Dragonstar Arena 100% of the time.

Sort of, some are pretty underwhelming.

Most of the master weapons compared to normal ones are very underwhelming. Normal weapon enchantments were increased to be 3 times stronger recently.

Except for maybe the bow and the one hand sword for tanking, the rest seems not to be worth it at all...it's a shame really that ZOS don't want to update them.

Since I can't complete Maelstrom Arena due healthy issues, I'll go for it. I already a CP140 I'll start using until I get a replacement

Master resto is a good staff, gives stamina back option to everybody. Master destro gives max magicka, so if you are like me and your weapon is not part of a set, then good staff, and useful in pvp, master 2 hander is nice for those who use cleave and more useful in PvE than the other one. The bow and one hander are great. The one hander will be used in PvP aswell. The daggers are good except NO one will use them over the ridiculously OP Maelstrom set lol.

Master Sword is what i will be after. Completely OP for a StamDK using LA/Ransack/Bash. Combine it with some Major Mending / Vitality, and you will get 2-3k healing for each attack you do. No need to even waste time on vigor/rally with that kind of offense-based healing.

Yeap it's going to be amazing in PvP. And pretty good tool in PvE for tanks, just one more way to get health
