by now I shouldn't be surprised at things like this but anyways, here goes:
the invasions are nice and it's great to see lots of activity on Siege, but why the hell do casters get a blessed item with slayer properties and another one with 50 sdi and fc 1 while the dexxers get these crappy weapons with overcapped mods (100% DI...has DI ever been a problem on suits?!). Not only are these weapons not blessed (which I would hate even more), they can't even be imbued!!!!
90% of the weapons absolutely make no sense at all because they either have mods for PvM but the weapon is not an AI/dbl strike weapon or they don't make sense for PvP because they can't be imbued with hld and other essential mods for PvP while the mana leech is a complete waste on them. I mean come on! Do the devs really hate dexxers that much?!
Then there are bows...I have yet to see any other bows than regular bows, xbows and heavy xbows drop. All of these make no sense at all without SSI and furthermore they make no sense for PvM because of the special moves they have. And unless the bane property does damage over the cap in PvP (which I doubt it does) I don't see why anyone would want to use one of those bows in PvP.
Those spellbooks shouldn't be blessed on Siege in the first place but I guess complaining about that will not only ostracise myself from the caster population on Siege but furthermore it would take massive campaigning to get the devs to do something about that.
But at the very least they could have come up with a solution that doesn't only benefit one class. Give the dexxers something aequivalent to those spellbooks. How about a blessed talisman with a random slayer, 10 dci, 30 DI, 10 ssi and 5 lmc? Heck even with only slayer, 5 dci and 5 ssi these would be great and no dexxer would have too much of a reason to complain.
And last but not least during the invasions the guard zone needs to go. It is absolutely ridiculous that we now have the opportunity to farm in guardzone where the only risk is that you get overrun by spawn (big deal...). This has nothing to do with Siege Perilous anymore! This is truely Trammel coming to Siege but worse because you get to kill monsters like wraiths with 4 hits and loot 1.3k off of them. Good thing at least powerscrolls still only drop outside guardzones...
So while I think that the invasions per se are a good thing I feel that once again all of this was introduced in pretty much the worst possible way...
