New 2h Slasher

[ancientchocobo]

Hey, I was just wondering if we caould get a 2h Slasher that benefits the melee aspect of slashing and not have another 2h Slash that's merely for the benefit of archer please and thank you.

The multi hit bow also benefits all melee and bm's so it is a two way street. The ones that are released can benefit archers, yes, but using a 2h weapon means an archer has very poor defense. It is a trade off between defense or proc. The perk of being an archer is the ability be able to use any melee weapon but the use of whips causes a delay.

Melee can use any bow, arrow and quiver that is released albeit not to its full potential but the same is said for archers using melee. You can use them for their procs just as archers would use any melee weapons.

Imo it is fair between the weapon types.

What a distorted way of seeing things.

Archery has Burn, Poison and Bleed, and you benefit from using DoT gems as well due to Bladow.
If you use Ranger, you'll be doing better than average with Green Poisons.

Slashing has... Bleed.
That's it.

And if you use Rogue for Poisons, you are better off using Piercers anyway.

A 2H Slasher that boosts DoTs, is as fair as a Bow that boosts Bloodlets.

wait untill all weapons are dropped, just because your choice hasnt dropped yet, doesnt mean it isnt already made.

Hardly, a 2h slasher CAN use dots and a bow cannot bloodlet, excluding broadhead. Most people play the game with a set game plan on how they will end their build. This is how their build will turn out no adapting no changing. Then a slasher comes out that they could use except it might require them to change something about their build.

Glitch supports hybriding those who do not approve of it complain

I disagree rogue... I have never made a toon that i have a game plan for in the end... I just make a toon l, max all skills and adjust as the game does... We all know that it always change... Thank god because if not i would be bored and quit already. So the best thing to do is simply adjust rather than complain about it... If you are OP now, cool... If not wait a month and maybe you will be due to a change. Its how it has always been and i hope its how it will always be.

It is the best thing to do but many don't want to

Put a stone on the Runed Flurry Greatsword and every single stat and effect of it will benefit 2H slashing. The fact that it will also benefit your DDs, ranged, and other things does not make it any less incredible for a 2H melee focused build. If the OP's request is because they want the sword to have less demand and thus cost less then maybe there's some validity to it. If it's because they think a 2H slash without hybrid bonuses would be of greater benefit to them as pure melee then I wouldn't count on that.

Excluding broadhead?
So you decide what counts, huh?

Ranged builds are vastly superior in DoT effectiveness comparing to Melee builds.
So yes, the Weapon is better for Archers than for Slashers, and I believe that is what the OP is complaining about.

I think it's perfectly okay that Ranged builds would find a 2H slasher attractive, but it should never be more attractive for Ranged builds than it is for Melee builds.

How the hell can melee complain when every single aspect of the weapon benefits them? Like Glitch said. It's not better for archers, no archer is going to pick that over a legendary bow, they're not going to swing it, they're not going to bring it to bed and cuddle with it like melees will.
