Devs should have had a "summer is coming" banner up as pre-season "hype". Is there a single class that doesnt start with at least one of this sword now? Its bis for the entire race for half the cast and it looks like even ranger is best off with a pair of them running firetrap/reave until shortbow. Can only imagine its a complete lack of internal testing that lets such balance blunders make it into the game time and again. Only real weakness of those swords is brutus, and its not hard to have a switch ready for that one early battle. IGN: KoTao	Posted by KoTao on Jun 13, 2014, 6:38:59 AM Quote this Post

But there's like 50 descent champs this season so flameblast will drop eventually. [quote="Hilbert"] CT should be around the art of PKing and not griefing lower levels.

I ran scion today and went with my previous seasons corroded+hat combo as i didnt think the huge firetrap and frenzy charges would make up for the much weaker st, seems i was right then? Or were you trying to run the summers through the entire event? IGN: KoTao	Posted by KoTao on Jun 13, 2014, 8:24:17 AM Quote this Post

Thats where ST catches up.	Posted by terrex on Jun 13, 2014, 10:23:44 AM Quote this Post

Pretty sure its reave (LOL) into cleave (LOOOOL) into short bow with RoA. #1 Victim of Murphy's Law.	Posted by SlixSC on Jun 13, 2014, 10:46:14 AM Quote this Post

Or were you trying to run the summers through the entire event? Yes, the plan was to run the summers trough everything. Idk why you'd ever replace them outside of finding something really good for grav. You would also have to make up for prismatic sockets, and good luck with that.

Been a couple seasons since ive run ranger in DC, and the wiki/forum chests lists are way out of date. " ZoRoXo wrote: Yes, the plan was to run the summers trough everything.

Heh, well thanks for saving me the test run, as im not going to be able to attend enough of these to try a hope-for-drop-gems attempt at the leaderboards (and i wish this wasnt the optimal strategy for 3-4 of the classes in the first place).
