Moss Covered Twig

[Versus]

First off, I apologize if this is in the wrong place.

Second off, I apologize for not going on the Beta server to find out for myself, but when characters were "cloned," I think my character MAY have been level 10ish, if created at all. I am a newcomer more or less.

Anyway, my question is, what version of the Moss Covered Twig will exist in the loot table in Kunark? Will it be the pre-nerf 3/10? Will it be nerfd to offhand only version like Sony converted MCTwigs to later on? Will it start off as the Moss Covered Branch, which they initially nerfd the twig with?

Spanks for everything~

[guineapig]

It will be both supposedly.

It will be nerfed in a way that more or less coincides with how it happened on live.

At least that is what has been stated in the past.

[Versus]

So then I assume you mean:

It will drop as Mosscovered Twig, 3/10...THEN

Some time later it will be changed to drop as a Mosscovered Branch, 5/15


Then sometime even LATER the Mosscovered Twig will be set to Offhand only? This happened after the GM's saw how a monk raped face in a best of the best using it in primary, which shouldn't be that much of a concern here.

[Omnimorph]

Probably be primary 3/10 (like efreeti standard) for a while, then will no longer drop and eventually be made off hand only.

[nilbog]

Probably be primary 3/10 (like efreeti standard) for a while, then will no longer drop and eventually be made off hand only.

Is there a timeline on when it goes to OH only? And is it worth a shit in OH once nerfed?

"Probably be primary 3/10 (like efreeti standard) for a while, then will no longer drop and eventually be made off hand only."

any chance could be more specific how long eventually is? as far as how long after launch till it is nerfed to OH only

SEPTEMBER 19, 2000
Low-Delay Weapons and Damage Bonus Changes:

In accordance with our announcement several weeks ago, two low-delay weapons can now only be equipped in the off-hand. Included in this change are the Mosscovered Twig and the Barbed Scale Whip. The delay on these weapons and the associated damage bonus to weapons in the primary hand made these weapons much too powerful for their availability and the risk associated with their acquisition.

In addition, two-handed weapons have had their damage-bonus modified. The damage-bonus for low-delay two-handed weapons (27 or below) created a problem similar to the weapons above and has been reduced. The damage-bonus has not changed for normal-delay (28-39) two-handed weapons. The damage bonus for high-delay two-handed weapons (40+) has been increased.

For those not keeping track that's 2 months before Velious.

For those not keeping track that's 2 months before Velious.
And perhaps more precise, it will be the day that epics are launched. (assuming the development time for Velious takes a little longer than live)

[guineapig]

Yeah, or just look at it as roughly 5 months after the launch of Kunark.

[Versus]

has anyone parsed with one of these yet?
