Legendary Drop: RageArmor

[Wishebe1]

THIS ITEM IS NO LONGER FOR SALE

As I feel it's worth more than what has been offered and that upcoming improvements stated below in my original post by Wyrom will only increase the value in the future.

Thank you all for your comments and feedback.






Item: a bloodstained parchment stub

When you read the parchment it states the following:

In the Common language, it reads:
Dear adventurerer, you are the lucky beneficiary of my estate, REDEEM this stub and you can have your armor infused with RAGE! (OOC: This is good to have RageArmor added to a piece of armor. Some restrictions apply! Be sure to ANALYZE. If you do not hear back from anyone after redeeming this, email SIMU-WYROM@play.net.)

IMPORTANT NOTE: This item will take up the script slot but can be subscripted.

This item is best suited for professions that take a lot of hits. (IE:Warrior) and definitely not a good choice for pures.

Two sets were purchased at secret mania for 1b each but refunded for reasons on the buyers end.

So, whomever wins this auction will have the one and only set!

Wiki info:

Additional Details per Wyrom:

"You gain attack strength (and only attack strength) in the amount of raw damage you take after any sort of modifiers (padding, resistance, etc). It doesn't count extra damage from spells or phantom damage that you can't see. So for example if you took a hit for 22 damage, you'd get a buff temporarily for +22 AS. They do not stack and while one buff is active you cannot gain another.

There was a minor bug with WEAR/REMOVE, but that had no impact on the armor. I do have plans to update the script slightly to make it more user friendly and give some extra perks. For example, if you take a hit for 89 damage, you're probably stunned too. So I want to add an ability that removes the status effects that would prevent you from attacking."



NO LONGER FOR SALE

[LOL BRIELUS]

cool!

[Asha]

These legendary items are absolutely amazing. It’s like finding 4 - 5 thousand dollars :)

[somethief2]

Very cool

[Ardwen]

I wonder if there is a charge to install it as seems somewhat common now

[Orthin]

man that would be a pain in the ass, congrats on the super rare win from our legendary pool. That'll be 300k BS

[Wishebe1]

there is no extra charge to add this

[Arshwikk]

Yeah, not on a legend drop and not on a cert in general. The cost is always pre-cert. The tokens where you then have to pay for adding the script/flare I've always found to be a goofy win, or at least a bad way to award someone anything.

I wonder why the past 2 rage armor owners refunded theirs.

Maybe they hoped it would apply to UAC? Not that I could ever afford it but that would’ve been my hope

[Ardwen]

It's armor, why would anyone think it would go on UAC gear? I'd imagine it was incompatible with whatever was already on their armor.

Sorry I meant UAF. Maybe they were hoping it would not only apply specifically to melee AS, maybe ranged AS or UAF. I am speculating, I don't actually know but that would be one of my assumptions.

[Ardwen]

Of course everything being equal, I wouldn't say no to this on my armor. Is there a list of what it is and isn't compatible with?

I was told that fusion isn't compatible, and would be a big project to make compatible.

[Archigeek]

I'm guessing they already had Uber armor and weren't willing to swap this for some other script, or say, add it to their armor with 32 CER damage padding.

[Helsfeld]

As. Warrior capped I don’t see you taking a ton of damage swinging 10 as from taking 10 damage is pretty meh

But I really think you should start this at min bid 1 coin and see where it goes!

[Fleur-de-me]

$100! Lets get the bidding started.

[Altheren]

150!

[Alorn15]

250

[Mobius1]

I'm trying to think of the usefulness of this.

I'm thinking maybe if you comboed it with symbol of transcendence as a non-plate/redux character, you could maybe get some good mileage out of it? Purposefully take a big hit, knowing it won't stun you, for a big boost.

[Fleur-de-me]

300

[zhagen]

How about a cleric who lies down in offensive then gets slammed for 160 damage death crit and then miracles himself (350) and empath heals then has X seconds of +160 AS?

[Fleur-de-me]

SO let's actually auction this off, or are you using it?

Price has been adjusted. Go ahead and start the bidding. :)

It'd be nice if would command half that minimum bid. It's neat. But ultimately its incredibly meh mechanically speaking.

Let's start it at 1 coin or dollar and let the market decide its value. You might be surprised what ya get.

I'll bid 1 coindollar.

[Slark]

Never mind, units are hard.

[Fleur-de-me]

$300 cash, beat my bid.

Blinking wielding ranger this would Work well for

It seems like a super situational gimmick item and I have no clue why it's valued so high, even when it originally came out.

They should have added some other features to it besides just a plain uncreative AS bonus that doesn't stack. Not sure if it's only good for 1 attack or what, but if so, then that attack should heal you for the damage caused or grant some sort of other effect or short term buff. Otherwise it's mostly a glorified blue crystal that you have to take damage to activate. And with how diminishing returns on AS works, if you're swinging at like 600 or whatever capped warriors typically swing at, an extra +20-30 AS probably wouldn't even be noticeable in most situations..

Also, don't you lose AS when your HP gets below a certain threshold anyway? If so and if this item isn't "immune" to that mechanic, then that makes it even more...less useful if you're mostly just offsetting the AS you lost from losing too much HP.

Simu has been rapidly running out of new ideas for "high end" items.

[somethief2]

Does it work with animalistic armor that has dispel flares in Cat B??

[Fleur-de-me]

yes its a subscript, like rot.

alright im out, send me a pm if you come to your senses.

If I didn't have a bajillion other project pieces, I would so totally put this on my armor-version double-unlocked auction quality Xojium robe. And play a Monk for the first time ever.

Would there have to be a timeframe when this can be redeemed? Could I try bringing up a set of robes over the course of 2-3 DR's worth of time (that I would then apply this awesome cert to?)

Did anyone else think Monk robes? Hmmm, is the "Rage" script strictly AS? Why not UAF, er?

Anything that adds to AS also adds to UAF.

Also the buff lasts for 15 seconds, so if the damage came with a 3 round stun then you never make use of the AS boost, a 2 round stun you get a 5 second AS boost (good for 1 attack), a 1 round stun you get a 10 second AS boost which you MIGHT be able to get 2 attacks out of it, but most likely just 1 again.

Also if your attack swing is 6 seconds and you get damaged right after you attacked then again your AS boost is cut down to 9 or 10 seconds, which again is probably good for 1 swing, 2 at best.

Best case scenario you can get 3 swings out of this with a 5 second RT every time you take damage.

Honestly the buff should last 1 or 2 minutes, or the amount of damage you received is directly added to any damage you deal. So if you took a 50 damage hit then every swing you manage to get in during the buff deals an extra 50 damage on top of your normal damage.

[rolfard]

I would like to see an added damage weighting equal to the AS bonus (ie: you get +30 AS AND +30 damage weighting, and then you mstrikeWTFBBQ all over something for an extra 150-250 damage)

Also agree with previous post that the boost should be longer, like bubble flares, at least a minute or two, and refresh with each strike and take the higher of the bonus'

[Methais]

If there's one thing Simu is consistently great at, it's being underwhelming.

If the buff is only going to be 15 seconds long, they should add both crit and damage weighting. And 100% flare rate while the buff is active. And convert damage dealt into HP. And a Symbol of Transcendence like effect. And when the buff is initiated, it casts some aoe warcry type attack that puts stuff in RT for a few seconds.

It sounds like a lot, but you're only going to be able to do so much in 15 seconds even with every buff in the game active.

[Gelston]

Also the buff lasts for 15 seconds, so if the damage came with a 3 round stun then you never make use of the AS boost, a 2 round stun you get a 5 second AS boost (good for 1 attack), a 1 round stun you get a 10 second AS boost which you MIGHT be able to get 2 attacks out of it, but most likely just 1 again.

Not if your berserk out, or use one of the several other types of stun breakers other classes have. Paladins would probably get good use out of it, they can break stuns and restore health with spells. Still kind of underwhelming.
