Specialized Gear Vendor. Curse you RNG!

I have spent over 2 million AP trying to obtain Shadow Walker 1 hand weapons sharpened. I have yet to find any and it's starting to become a huge thorn in my side. Nobody is buying these sets. Nobody wants to spend 50k AP for some random box. I have offered other players large sums of money to try and spend AP to obtain these weapons for me but 50k AP per bag is a lot to ask for.

If you could do the following to these AP bag's it would really help a lot:

Reduce cost to 25k
Separate Weapons into there own category.
Remove staffs from the loot table from the Burma Specialized Gear vendor since they are all stamina based sets.

I hope these changes can be implemented. Thanks for reading.

Like all random generated box sets, it's a pain to obtain weapons.
However, I can help you by telling you that the set just doesn't work well in practice.
Having to stand still to regain resources is a death sentence against good players, and against bad players, you usually don't need it (and if it's a zerg of bad players, again, standing still is a death sentence)

And if you want them for the 2 set bonus, get Leki's daggers instead :-)

This set allows you to do very fun things. I understand your concern with this set but im not using it to 1v1 or anything like that. I am a gank/zerg surfer. Pair this set with speed potions and summon image and you can pull off some incredible feats.

Basically you use this set with summon image. Jump into a group, try really hard to take someone out and jump back out. Then regen and repeat. It's very fun and i reckon you try it.

It takes a lot of practice to get used to using this set correctly and at the right time. I've been using this set for a very long time, even back when it was v14 and half as powerful.

I forgot to mention this set works wonders when you need to spam bombard on these destro trains.

How does it help with bombard spam?

Spam bombard. Cloak for 2 seconds to full resources. Spam Bombard some more. Shadowwalker is basically 4k stamina regen while cloaked and not moving.

I have seen Shadow Walker pieces in Guild vendors on PS4, but yea Sharpend would be hard to get.

I know it sucks. I have a full set of Sentry and Shadowwalker Armour with jewelry... but for the build im trying to make i need weapons

Not necessarily. Just use what you already have to work with. I need one weapon to complete the set I am going for, but I can still run 5pc/5pc and it still gets the job done. It's just not ideal. Not like you really need that if you're ganking or zerg surfing which is what I have been doing.
