Do master weapons still drop but at 150 on normal dsa and does footmen sword and shield drop on normal?

    no master weapons, only from vet. i have ran vDSA like 10+ times since it became 160, and i have yet to see a Footman weapon or shield, it would be nice to have too.

    vDSA final chest: guaranteed Master weapon.

    nDSA final chest: guaranteed weapon or shield from the Footman, Healer, Destruction Mastery, or Archer's Mind sets

    The only way to get a Master weapon is from vDSA.

    The only way to get a Footman shield/sword, Healer staff, etc. is from nDSA.

    Normal dsa is ridiculously easy now. Only the last boss was difficult solo but with a tank and actual group I think it's no challenge. I wish there was a middle ground between the two to see if questionable players can handle mechanics

    All of the new/revamped dungeons and trials have been like that: easy normal mode, hard vet mode.

    Look at Maelstrom Arena; easily clearable by inexperienced players (except for when you don't know mechanics), while vet mode is considered to be a massive step up in difficulty.

    Perhaps the best example of this is MOL. Normal mode is clearable by pugs or thrown together trials groups, while you can probably number the guilds who've beaten vet mode on your fingers and toes.

    Middle ground would be nice.

    But it's nice to see that ZOS is catering to both ends of the skill spectrum.

    A guildie of mine got a master weapon from nDsa last week so maybe it's a low drop rate. Ps4 btw

    You're really getting no good weapon/armor piece from doing nDSA, particularly for a stam DK. The value of nDSA is taking lower level or newer players through it and see them getting ecstatic when they get the DSA champion achievement. A higher level player can solo nDSA, as it is as easy as nMA, but vDSA would need a good tank and healer. vDSA is still fun and challenging.

    I soloed nDSA with my magDK. Its easier than vMA. In general normal modes are really easy, probably are balanced for 0 CP characters. I agree that the change with the vet modes is pretty insane (arenas and trials).

    That I don't know, I'll ask around in the guild and get back to you with that.

    I've said many times that there should be a normal, hard, and vet version. Basically a medium between easy and hard because the difference is just way to big. I can literally no death maelstrom with only using puncturing sweeps, and then can barley survive vma going as hard as I can. A middle ground would be nice.

    And don't believe someone who says they got a master weapon from normal. It's not the same drop as the vet, true master weapons. It's a "something" mastery weapon.

    You can create fake items by posting the right code into chat. nDSA doesn't drop Master Weapons, no matter what anybody wants to think. Give it a try by putting this in chat:

    I would be skeptical about this regardless. We all know how those stories go when they start with "a friend/guild mate told me so"

    I have been running it solo on normal lately(just for fun)
    Odd thing, I find I get better traits on normal then vet, which is kinda sad.
    One thing I have never seen is a master weapon from the last chest. Plenty of set item weapons footman's swords, destruction mastery staffs, healers staffs, no master weapons in plenty of solo runs.
