That bandana and those sleves are really nice, but the rest I don't see as becoming applicable to PvM or PvP. I'll look more into them after dinner but with how involved the devs have been maybe we can get some slight changes to these as well

@Bleak what does hit swarm mean?

Not on TC at the moment, is there a link with the new info? About to head over in the event there isn't.

I'm biased but I liked some of the suggestions in my thread...don't need to make new items just change what we have. These aren't useful.

Depending on the frequency of these dropping the only issue I see is the Slim veil becoming devalued. Unless you want to couple them together

So Bone Crusher as an item property reduces your stam to 0 and keeps it there not allowing you to refresh pot for about +/- 7 seconds
Swarm puts a swarm on you like the SW spell
Sparks does a 3-4 dmg tick like bleed

None of which can be appled/RC/CW

I don't know about this new item property. Sounds like it might cause a lot of balance issues.

Ehhh balance issues.... PvP was awesome when you could one shot someone with a halberd. I say make it a free for all and screw balance.

Bone crusher property needs to be toned down a lot. Seems way stronger than Splintering. The duration is twice as long, and you can't even hit back if you're a dexer because you have 0 stamina.

You also can't remove it through any spell or consumable like splinter can be.

Sweet addition to the game @Bleak @krynoix - we could really use this 8 second bone crusher over the TOGGLE of SPECIALS WHILE CASTING. I WILL PAY YOU ONE MILL TO TURN ON THE TOGGLE of SPECIALS WHILE CASTING ON ANY SHARD. @Merlin NOT TROLLING , I AM FOR REAL ABOUT THE ONE MILL.

The swarm will tick 10 damage off of you at 70 resist until you magic arrow or fireball yourself.

No idea if anything else breaks the swarm.

Nah.. warriors will just have to carry a torch with them, along with everything else they carry. That works for the Meer Mages swarm, would imagine it will work for this as well.

The irony that the artifact "The Bone Crusher" lacks the bone crusher mod. :p

Tbh, the only one I would be remotely interested in are the cuffs for the extra 10 SDI on my pvm mage suit.. That would put him at 132 SDI then :)

The Halo isn't that great compared to Specters which has LRC as well, yes it has higher LMC & FC1 but most high end 100+ PVM SDI suits already have LMC & FC/FCR capped out from the other items.

Halo has potential. The rest are garbage.

Whoever is in charge of making these need to stroll through Luna and look at quality suits and weps and add onto those mods for decent artifacts.

I see a ring of the elements with luck added. Whoopie.
I see leggings of the bane with a little stamina. That must have taken DAYS to come up with.
I see midnight bracers with resist swapped out for necro. Woah guys. Be still my heart.
That looks like gauntlets of nobility with dci and a little extra resist.

Let me give you an example of what these arties SHOULD look like.
Britches of warding:
Dex 8
Stam inc 12
Hit chance 15
LMC 10
MR 3
HPI 5
20s in resists and this is STILL just a shade above roof loot.

Ring of Primal: Nobody will keep the current ring on test with luck since it still falls WAY below the Bleu set which was introduced 10 years ago. lol?
FC 1
FCR 3
LRC 20
20 hit chance
20 dci
25 DI
25 EP This is what an artifact ring should look like.

... Now that would be a ring/brace worth having. Or drop FC1 and make it 2 + 15 skills.

Needs SDI on that ring or it's crap IMO... just another ring that can't figure out if it's for mages or dexers.

haha agreed. It was more of an idea of give it max mods and all be in conjuction with the same class (mage/dexer).

I wouldn't toss on SDI on a ring right now until I see how the SDI thread ends up shaking out. To know how much will be needed for any given temp. Once that is figured out, I would toss out another ring/brace that would be godly. Much like the orny was when it first came out =)

What about a fully customizable ring or braclet?

If we can get a menu pop up, why not expand on that concept? Pop up an imbuing like menu for jewelry mods... allow up to 8 mods and 800 weight.:)

Don't we want to have a pretty close balance between artifacts and normal loot? That's how I have always felt. There should be a handful of hard to get artifacts, and then there should be some insane loot. The current loot bump basically made all artifacts useless...well, for the most part anyways.

I really like tha bandana, but that is for PvP. But I am concerned the Veil will be completely left behind or devalued. So figuring out a way to not completely void the veil and the content to get it will be a challenge.

Can the Devs please consult actual players..my god! If they want balance create balanced artifacts that are worth using.

Example
Ring of the Anarchist
1 fast cast
3 fast cast recovery
25 ep
15 dci
20 LRC
10 LMC
15 SDI
+15 Mana Increase
+20 Random Skill(Mage,Med,Eval,Resist,Necro,Mystic,Focus,Spirit Speak,SpellWeaving)
-25 Stamina
-15 Hit Chance
-40 Damage Increase

Seems like a lot of Properties but look at Legendary Items. This would be balanced for Spell Casters, and a downside for Warriors.

Meanwhile they release stuff that really no one would ever use, or a very very small % of people would. Artifacts should be just that. ARTIFACTS! You created this monster of power creep by introducing artifacts to begin with 1 out of 20 artifacts being useful is unacceptable.

They need to create some that will be for turn-in points or other situation so the economy isn't over run and the content is done in a month or two

Ditto... as well liking the bow and hat...
how is that bow any good? The stamina leech is a complete waste on a bow, it lacks mana leech which is essential for PvM and for PvP the only mod really worth it would be the hit swarm but it lacks hld and other relevant mods.


Concerning the new hit spell mods: please don't add stuff like that! splintering was bas enough, we don't need more stuff like that. The only way I would find it tolerable to implement would be if it was only available on crappy items like that bow that nobody is seriously gonna use in PvP anyways :p

What's the difference if the economy is over run, eventually they will just be over run with the high end and within 2 months of constant afk macroing they'll be asking for more..

Please tweak the Ornament of the Magician or add another bracelet with FC 2 / FCR 3. It would be a travesty if we lost the only usable FC 2 piece of jewelry.

Based on the patch notes all the original items will still drop in doom, all the new items are crafted via recipe... Besides, there is another bracelet with 2 fc (and it's imbue-able!) it's called, "Venom" you only need to farm medusa an average of 100 times before you get one!

Thanks for the word on the old Arties. I missed that.

I don't consider Venom especially usable. I've never seen anyone use it in a suit. Have you found a unique ring to pair with one? If so, I'd love to see a pic.

Need like ten to twenty more items to be worth the time doing Doom.Two Items are Not worth the time farming. Most people will just sit back and buy the new items because everyone left in UO are billionaires. Maybe add some the to the Peerless Bosses while your at it... Loot on peerless bosses suck!

Speaking off peerless bosses, can you guys consider adding an alternative mount similar to the chief paroxymous swamp dragon to the doom revamp? Every pvm Melee character in the world rides the swamp dragon. Chief's or just a tameable armored one. It would be nice to have more of a graphic selection for the damage reduction benifits swamp dragons provide.
