VMA weapon skin

Seeing as you made VMA weapons redundant by removing the wep dmg bonus and then even more so now that 2h counts for 2 pieces (almost always better option to go for the 4th and 5th bonus of your second set) - I think you should make VMA weapons skin available to account that completed/completes the flawless conqueror achievement. It will also bring more incentive for newer players to complete older content.

bhlegit✭✭✭nah imo its the best looking weapons in game and would make sense seeing as how they are making weapon skins anyway - but ONLY available to flawless conq NOT for sale on crown store - otherwise it defeats the point.1

✭✭✭✭Some vMA weapons looks cool but are quite useless (for example shield) so it's nice idea to add style pages as reward for flawless runEdited by Marabornwingrion on August 22, 2018 2:14PM3 -
Never been big on the appearance of any vMA weapons. But I like the idea, it allows players to show their achievements without having to slot a weapon that hinder their builds.
Though the bigger question is, now that we have 2-piece bonuses from 2-hand weapons, why bother running vMA... (the destro staff and bow, are the correct answers to that question, but only two viable weapons dropping from the hardest solo content in the game points to a reword - either a nerf of vMA [unnecessary] or a buff of the vMA weapons [unlikely]).3 -

yes i think it would be a good acknowedgment from zos that they nerfed the weapons into obscurity. I really hate how normal axes look now im not using vma 2h0 -

exactly thats why i suggested the skins. i don't know about pve ( i suspect staff is still ok) but in pvp theres no reason to use it over 5th set bonus - and this would kind of make up for what zos did in nerfing them (- wep dmg and then 2 peices for 1 weapon change)Edited by bhlegit on August 22, 2018 2:17PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭The Asylum Sanctorum gear, Maelstrom, and the tier 5 racial visuals from the DSA weapons would all be nice additions.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Be careful with what you wish for, they might add it as a 10% chance to get a style page. For a limited time, of course.Dro-m'Athra Destroyer | Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor | Voice of Reason

To be fair, those 2 weapons are able to be used by like 50-75% of buildsValrien Dravic -- Level 50 Dunmeri Sorcerer (EP)

Right, but my point is that the rest of the vMA weapons are useless. So people grind out this crazy-learning-curve content in hopes of getting just one or two weapon types (destro [and let's be real, probably just inferno] or bow), and end up deconning everything else. In my opinion, it makes the arena not worth it if you can't put the other weapons to good use on something else.0 -

yeah exactly or back when we did grind them when it first came out they were the best weapons so it was understandable, now they grind it for what? useless weapons? At least give us the skin for them seeing as they are the best looking weapons in the game and are now useless

The Lightning is actually pretty useful to niche Sorc buildsValrien Dravic -- Level 50 Dunmeri Sorcerer (EP)

in pve yeah but in pvp no not since lost the spell dmg bonus, unless ur using wall in pvp (in which which case ur probs a zerglord) and even then 5th piece bonus would probs be better nowEdited by bhlegit on August 22, 2018 3:00PM0 -
StamWhipCultist✭✭✭✭✭Id buy vMA weapon styles so ppl think I actually had any of these weapons lol0

✭✭✭I don't understand why the requirement would be having the flawless conqueror title when you can get the weapons just by clearing on vet.BawKinTackWarDs PS4/NA6 -
bhlegit✭✭✭because you used to have to do milloins of clears to get the right trait so u probs had flawless after that - whereas now u can ust transmute it. its not as much of a schlep0
-
bhlegit✭✭✭and also thats the hardest achiv for the content so it makes sense its the reward for that0
-
Danksta✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭But you can use the actual weapons by just completing the content. Seems pretty stupid to lock the skins behind flawless.BawKinTackWarDs PS4/NA3 -
bhlegit✭✭✭the weapons are useless now outsid the staff for pve maybe - thats the whole point of the thread...! to get the weapon skin as a sort of compensation for making the weapons obselete and it would make sense then that its locked behind the highest achiv for that area0
-
bhlegit✭✭✭my point is youre shooting yourself in the foot if you use one nowadays because ur losing 5th piece bonus from your second set so anyone wearing it is doing it for style points lol so therefore makes sense to add it as a weapon skin seeing as they are already doing this with the monster sets.0

Well the bow and inferno staff are both bis for pve content so you're not "shooting yourself in the foot" for running them in pve. Also if you run a set that carries over to your other bar you could use the 2H in PvP, though not sure why you'd pick it over the asylum 2H.
I'm all having the weapon skins available but just don't see the point in making flawless the requirement. It's not like there's any prestige tied to the weapons or even flawless for that matter. IMO if you can use the weapons then you should be able to use the skins.BawKinTackWarDs PS4/NA3
