Which class epics are still status symbols after Velious revamps?

[Safon]

Currently, seeing a bard/necro/mage etc with their epic is impressive and not too common, while seeing a rogue/shaman/cleric etc with their epic is like seeing someone with pants on.

I always thought epics as a rare status symbol were cool, just wondering if any of them are still status symbols after the revamp.

[LizardNecro]

Mage and necro epics much less rare with addition of minibosses in Hate. Don't know about bard.

[Boilon]

I'm pretty sure warrior epic was pretty desirable for the most part up until like Luclin at least. I remember my guild tanks still using them.

Mage epic is still of course amazing for the pet. Bard would be correct too. Necro is 'cool' but it's not the most amazing epic imo.

I think the SK/Paladin epic still really good cause of the ability to bash with a 2h sword

Wizard epic too probably I think is really cool to see.

In later expansions there generally becomes items that is possible to replace them, at least for dps classes.

But my list would be bard/mage/wizard/sk/ in terms of rarity . I would say probably the least played classes as well so another reason to rarity

Considering that each one has been solved for 12 years and with the rampant MQing and selling of epic parts, none of them are status symbols now. It is just another piece of gear to acquire along the way.

How many sk's, bards etc do you see walking around with their epics outside of tmo

SK's quite a few.

Bard, there's at least one, and there could have been more by now if people didn't have any objections with buying MQs from TMO ;p

and pretty sure those SK's did buy from TMO. I know I have seen that one guy in FV I believe, forget his name since i rarely group with SK's haha xD

[joppykid]

Darkbane is the SK in FV that has his epic.

IB sold Soul Leech mq's as well. And there were SKs who already had soul leeches in other guilds too.

Life didn't start at the Spring of '12 :p

Most of mine did, took a massive break between like august/sept 2011 til Feb/March 2012, so I missed most of the IB rush I believe.

[ArumTP]

There is a an ogre in TR that had epic as well, someones alt or something now~.
He also had the inny breatplate, and the earring you get for doing the epic again.
Also appeard to have all the sky gear.

[Snagglepuss]

I think the dynamics of epics are a bit different than they were on live. I remember the idea of getting to the last islands in Sky was something pretty amazing-especially after guilds regularly stopped raiding there. That put necro and mage epics (and even warrior) into a pretty "epic" level.

The bottleneck for the Mage epic is the earth staff. Once it becomes a mini-boss (also dropped by the male forsakens), the MQs and the ease of availability will make the epic more of a banal,yet still class defining item.

I'm sure the same will happen with the other bottlenecked, highly contested spawns such as Inny, VS, Fay, and Trak.

Shadow Knight > Necromancer > Magician > Paladin.

[Schurke]

I remember around the velious and even luclin days many rogues using their epic in the offhand, just for the haste benefit. It's a nice haste, and great stats.

[goshozal]

Afaik velious does not make verina any better and therefore the enc epic will remain a bottlenecked nightmare.

general noob mentality here on the forums.. not every 60 witch epic hangs out sits in ec all day for your to inspect there gear...

most high end guilds have there mains camped out at raid targets and log on alts who are in the 50's etc.

i know of many non TMO that have epics, sk/bard/wiz/mage/necro

but since most of the sub lvl 55 here think its tmo are bust they only think tmo have epics and gear, not true

sorry you dont leave ec and wander into raid target or 58+ areas where geared players hang out

again not everyone sits in ec and most cant due to contesting raid targets

Ya, rogue epic is replaced by

and

Saying "and" instead of "or" cus on P99 you can place your Ragebringer into the RANGE slot which is pretty fucked up.

That patch occurred 2 weeks after epics dropped. We're almost at a year here.

Doesn't look like anyone ever submitted a bug report on it, until today.

No part of Chanter epic can be MQ'ed and it has several parts with long and heavily contested spawns

Even in Velious both of those points are true?
