Will try again:

Will Royals be harder to kill once Chardok 2.0 is implemented. Either because news are in the way that require stronger raid force or for some other reason?

well, Warriors get two swords for they epic, one is blue and it is still pretty useful even though there lotta better weapons out there. i dunno if anyone else mention this yet, but you can also fuse them which is really pretty neat. aside from the magician epic (lol gl w/that^^) there not really any other epics with a nifty mechanic liek that. why you keep asking the same question?

Because he's asking about the encounter not the viability or usefulness of the epic.

Will royals be harder after the revamp?

Era based server and people don't understand that it stops at a certain era.

Thank you! I feel like I'm in a Monty Python sketch.

My guess (no clue) is the encounter and difficulty of royals won't change, but will be harder to muster folks who don't want to ruin their Chardok faction (dreams of chasing down a spirit wracked cord and all that).

So in effect will become harder to get.

Warrior epic is functionally unimportant at this point. If they are harder to achieve the average warrior will not lose out on much. They're not obsolete, but it's more of a status symbol these days. The passive buff from blue is still useful, but easily purchased or hunted velious weapons will generate superior threat and damage.

With the 2h changes that are coming soon, is it possible that the combined version of the warrior epic would be decent/viable?

Warrior epic will always be important and get you laid. Hope this clears things up.

This seems like a valid - and fairly obvious - reason why it will get "harder". Not sure why I didn't think about it.

Blue blade kinda hard to replace till you get some uber ToV loot. Even then off-hand procs are so sporadic the blueblades +attk helps overall threat more than most ToV offhands.

You are aware your ATK has no bearing on your hate building right?

DPS - Yes. Aggro - No.

I would guess anyone who is gainfully employed will give up on that dream fairly quickly. I quit before it was available on live, but from reading about it one of the spawns for the 2nd ring is a 3 day spawn so unless that is wrong there will be ~120 of those rings maximum per year. The "sock everything" crowd should have all their alts a Cord sometime around 2025.
