The pixie swatter is so weeeeeak. It's okay for swatting pixies, obviously, but there's just nothing good in the game for killing angels. This event brought it up in my mind, but I kill at the angel keep in Ilshenar on a regular basis, and I always wish I had a better weapon to use.

I mean c'mon, an entire superslayer type found on only one weapon?

I've been hitting the Angels in Moonglow for 120 or so per swing with the Swatter. I'd say that's nothing to complain about? plus it's UBWS so the only ones that miss out are the archers who can stay a fair distance from them anyway.

It has terrible mods compared to any decent slayer. The fact that you can do 120 damage with a piece of crap weapon if you stack enough chivalry/bushido/whatever effects isn't really material.

I do 120 without chiv, bushido or even concentrate weapon.


It's a fine weapon if you ask me. I really don't see the need to do 500 points per hit...

A Bird Slayer doesn't make any difference. Just tested it.

That leaves out Bards,Mages,Archers.... There needs to be a slaying type for each one to balance it out.. Wolf Slaying and a few others are missing from there too. Not just one type but a few need to be rebalanced. Also the talismans should work on magic type damage.

There's also no slayer group for fetid essence and the other blobs, and many others. Slayers for all creatures, and all slayers available for all templates.

You all are slayer-crazy.

There IS a wolf slayer in the game, it's a dagger. Other than killing Cu Sidhes at the champ spawn in Twisted, we have no real need for a Wolf or Canine slayer. There is also no real need for archers and mages to have pixie slayers, because archers have an insanely high base damage and many ways to tweak out damage (special bows with damage distribution, quivers with damage distribution) and mages (especially necros) can handle any fey with ease.

And, above all, some things in game should remain difficult.

Folks, NOTHING will boost the Pixie Swatter against the Fallen Warriors (other than Strength, Anatomy &amp; Tactics) - I tested it.

They are ALREADY acting as DOUBLE SLAYERS (+200%, raising your damage to cap). I get the same damage against them with Enemy of One, as without it, and I don't appear to even be getting the DI from my Stormgrip (pulled them off to check).

Na, i dont think archers need Fey slayers. Would make some peerless and other things way to super easy.

Don't need them in this event either. Me and my bow when using consecrate weapon do 70-90 damage to the winged warriors, plus i get to keep out of melee range of their 35-40ish damage hits. I don't die to them unless I get ganked by 2 or 3 real quick.

For archers, we are fine. The melee people have to risk the up close and personal hits. And believe me, those with feyslayers kill the stuff alot faster than I do. I just watch the HP's drop fast when they are smacking them.

Wrong in both cases. It is not titled Canine it's title wolf slayer. And it does NOT work on Cu Sidhe, That was changed due to necros using a dark wolf to tame them having no taming. By moving them into a new group it corrected this.

Fey slayer talismans would be spiffy. Then I could equip one and go after angels with a fast weapon. I use a lich lord slayer talisman plus a berzerkers maul to tear up paragon lich lords. But basically there needs to be SOMETHING in this slayer group besides one mediocre minor artifact.
