Is there much point in people kitting thier toons out with ToA stuff for bg1? Wearing purple stuff surely means that it just wears out at light speed? Purple weapons - dont they just make you miss a lot? Or is it me thats missing something here?

In thid today i've seen albs, mids and hibs wearing/using ToA gear etc.

Legendary weapons (heat&cold especially) are godlike in thid if you have the money.

Also 5.7 spd spears for hunters (toa unique drop, 99% qua).
Not to mention the +buff enh for your thid bb.

Many many things you benefit from toa in thid as well. (cap increases WORK, as drops which are used for thid with these bonuses usually have crappy stats [low utility rate ~ thid chars can channel their magic] )

Edit: Forgot the +duration on toa items, important bit. Works great with nearsight for my runey.

No, though I don't see the point. I can't imagine Legendary weapons would be that much more effective than crafted, especially when you take into acount that the resist debuff/dd proc doesn't work.

Still, I don't have the insane ammounts of cash required to buy one and try it out so I don't know for sure :)

sb with axe/sword versus infil faces 10% resist (as i think resists are capped there, tho i got 15%+ everything just incase :p)
sb with heat lw versus infil faces 0% resists IF the infil caped heat

big diff imo :)

People want to be "uber" so they:

1) Buy epics

or

2) Get the most awesome items, start killing people who don't stand a chance and brag to their friends about how Uber alles they are. I just sigh and move on everytime I see Corebringers or that other inf with those really high lvl weaps and stuff.

Myself I go for RoG which tbh can end up quite neat.

I have a few TOA items on my new Thane (who has just capped bg1, thanks for the fun guys). Not because they are Uber, not because I like the looks, but because Im a new player and they are about the only chain items I have atm! :)

If they do that, they become pretty, not uber. Epic is really crap for thid (no stats at all.)

toa drops = yes, some u can use testing them is how u find out
arti's = nono, to my knowledge u cant activate till lvl 40 aswell as rapidly osing condition, considering u can only have 1 of each ;)
lgm weaps: well thats up to u , not u can only use lvl 20 procs on them so pretty much pointless since you just wasted alot of money (although benefit is that you can sc alot more on them).

Get off the procs already, lgm weapons aint used in thid for the debuff proc.

In thid, you can only have 13% heat resist.

Here is what a sb does with/without heat weapons.

Shadowblade vs infil with heat axe/sword= 3% melee resist at max.
Shadowblade vs infil with slash axe/sword= 13% melee resist at max.
Shadowblade vs nightshade with heat axe/sword= 3% melee resist at max.
Shadowblade vs nightshade with slash axe/sword= 23% melee resist at max.

Yeah they're expensive. :)

lmao corebringer is good i guess she sucks with lag recently though...and yes the only reason her and i use level 50 weaps etc is cos they looks cool wooooo!! nice glowey spear thing makes me do a hunter evade :clap:

you do get some bonus from them i bought a lvl 50 Thrust weap 99% with +7 thrust cos i really couldn't be bothered buying one my level and getting it scd :eek:
