more diversity is good. not every weapon is supposed to be OP.
at first I hated the vMA nerf but now I feel like there is a reason to use something over vMA weapons.
for stamina weapons, except dual wield, everything seems fine.

I'm not a fan of empowering one skill of a weapon and not all of the skills it pigeon holes you into using that skill which may not even be part of your build

I just looked up the Dual Wield weapon set and it's buff sounds pretty damn interesting. Using Whirlwind buffs the Duration of Lacerate by 8 - 10 seconds longer. Can you even imagine that? Casting a Rend that lasts for 26 seconds.

You should do a few parses with it, so you can see how bad it is instead of imagining.

If you insist then give me the weapons, since im not gonna farm them.

Most of them are trash, ZOS did a pretty brutal job on listening to community feedback... Again

With the exception of the 2H which is ok but by no means a game changer in pvp, and the destro staff which is good if in PvE, that’s really it.

It doesnt matter, because 90% of the player base will never manage the 12-man content required to get them.

Lolololololol

The problem is... The dev's don't really play their own game in any sort of meaningful way. I get the impression that if they do play at all... They are casual gamers at best and to newbs I'm sure these weapons seem awesome!

holy necro...

"most of them are trash" - i don't think so, the two hander, bow, resto and destro staves are always something people desire when i farm/run it *shrugs*

2H and destro staves are awesome! Resto are pretty ok.

All unique weapons that are not maelstrom bow or fire staff are mostly useless

jeah pretty much this

there are a few exceptions, which are good in very special occasions.
Like vDSA DW, or Healingstaff (when running a full stam group)

but vMA still Dominates, and I dont expect this to change anytime soon.
vBRP are all very crappy, and the Next weapons will be Last (prob non ult) ability altering wepaons..and the affect stuff like Ele Drain (probably will be worst weapons yet)...and Snipe (RiP PVP^^)

so I am actuall ynot hyped at all to get the next Set into the Game.

They should just make older Weapons into the Perfected and Imperfected...probably the best thing they can do atm.

Restoration staff and 2H are good, Destro used to be good but then Elemental Weapons apply the same status effect in one hit compare to two of AS Destro.

Actually, if they would Change the Destro to let the Pulse jump to 2 More targets, would be awesome.

so Force Pulse will hit up to 5 Targets, while Crushing Shock would Jump, and interrupt up to 3 Enemies.

Imperfect will just jump to 1 more Target.

Then Sorcs would have to choose between Monsterset or Destrostaff (while probably the Monsterset will still be better)
But would make a interessting Choice, for fights like vAS+2 when you have to interrupt the Sorc...and Maybe make Scanthing Mage good again

Yes, I am still very salty about how bad the dual wield and bow weapons are. Regardless, they go live next week. How does everyone else feel about the Asylum weapons that will be here next week? Which ones do you like, which ones do you dislike, and why?

The 2h and Destro are both very solid for what they do. S&B is finicky, but can be a nice way to move resources around on a tank. It won't be useful often, but when it is, you'll be glad you have it. Resto I'm unsure of. In theory it's quite good, but in practice, even with frequent use, it's kinda meh. Bow is very situational, and basically PvP only. There are better options, usually, but it can be nasty in the right circumstances. DW is very meh. It's worth using on Lacerate, but I'm not sure it's worth giving up two slots to buff one Ultimate you may not even be using.

Asylum weapons aren't bad, but only a handful are really good.
