Curse

I have looked through out this forum and have not see anything related to this as of yet and if so I appologize.

I have notice since the introduction of NF that there is no -50hp focus cores but there is a -20hp focus core. I think that it would be nice to have a -50hp focus to be able to mod a custom off-hand for the character that is going to be using the item. Take the monk for instance the grim cesta is good but only getting 6 energy for the off-hand due to the 5 req of blood isn't good enough for those builds that have a very low energy return. It would be great to have a -50hp focus core to create the off-hand for the profession that will be using the item and be able to get the full 12 energy of the custom created off-hand.

Just my 2 cents.

Thats the fun thing about Prophecy, theres a bunch of different and unique mod.

Did you know theres was a bow with +66% dmg but -33% attack speed(something like that)

I'l signe, but only for more different mods on weapons and item, who would use a -50 hp item unless its for a 55 monk

damge +15% while attacking (ROFL)

I personally like the fact that you have varied mods between campaigns.

It incourages you to buy the other games, and/or trade with prophercies or factions players.

I can appreciate that it feels unfair to have -20hp in NF and -50hp in prophercies, but it incourages travel between continents so im going to have to /not sign this because I dont see it as a hugely bad thing.

You can just find someone to trade for it.

Prophecies quest reward items are something unique, and most of the time pretty useless.

You could say that they are 'curiosities'.

I can understand that, heck when I was a newb to GW nearly a year ago I created a monk and went through Pre, did the quest to get the cesta (not knowing what it was used for) and sold it for next to nothing thinking that no one would ever use such an item. Boy was I wrong lol.

Since I have a 55hp monk that I farm with and do UW 2 man or 3 man (depending on guildies online). I just think that virtually everything can be modded except for greens and the cesta, why not have the -50hp focus core and it be super rare or in an area that is elite so that it is hard to get. I don't know i was just thinking about this last night and wondered what others thought.

Well with the new update it appears that the farming code has been changed to the extent that you will need a full group in order to get the full drop rate of a max party limit on normal and hard modes. However, a -50hp is also good for BiP necros but of course the cesta helps with that. Looking at the change in Soul Reaping it would be nice to have a -50 off-hand that had a full 12 energy in stead of the 6 that you can get.
