Combat Update and Spec Weps

[n00bg4m3r]

Are spec weps going to useless after the update?

Need to know if I should dump claws/ss/ags, etc or are they going to be buffed in another way?

Whole thread on the beta/eoc stickied for this kind of stuff. SS spec sucks in the first place .. godswords are going to be buffed significantly but since "abilities" (the things taking most specs place) arent weapon specific all godswords will effectively be the EXACT same dont know about claws being buffed id sell as their spec/ability "flurry" is doable by other weapons . ALOT more info is in the stickied thread i provided .

So this is why GS, CLAWS, ect is crashing.

are ss's still going to be the fastest 2h? or all all 2h's going to be equal in speed, strength, etc?

That's a good question, I'm curious about this as well.

I know that weapon strength and stats are determined in tiers, based on level requirements and there's more of an equalizer now between various weapon types (Dragon being a good example).. I think the speeds are staying the same, but I'm not entirely sure. :huh:

AFAIK, and from what I've messed around with in the beta, SS is still whip-speed and the GS is still 2h-speed. However, they have said that they are tweaking all weapons so that all weapons in the same class have the same DPS. Basically, dual-scimitars is just as much DPS as a 2h-sword is.

Since the SS is 70 attack requirement and the Godswords are 75, I think the Godswords will be more DPS than the SS or ZS.
