All of the EotN Ebon Vanguard Weapon Skins have the mod Charrslaying on them. I know the weapons are literally called Charrslayer *weapon* but some of these have amazing skins, and this unremovable mod makes it so you can't actually use them in many situations without handicapping yourself.

Suggestion is pretty simple, Make it so the Charrslaying mod can be changed.

Edit: For people concerned with Lore, I suggest that the Weapon always come with the mod, but it can be taken off or replaced with another.

There were 1 or 2 skins that I found to be decent but nothing I would use over what I already have. Personally-- changing the +20% to a +30 health or an AL +5 really won't make or break you in PvE so there's no need to worry. If it does... Then... Well... I'm sorry for anyone who can't continue on through PvE without that one little mod to boost your little 'ol red bar. <_<

I agree. I love the Charrslayer Focus, it looks bad ass on my necro, but the +10 against Charr is rather useless. Would love if this could be taken off.

Atro · Sep 13, 2009, 11:33 PM // 23:33

I agree, there are a few great skins here that are useless to me because of the mod.

notskorn · Sep 13, 2009, 11:54 PM // 23:54

Agreed. A lot of those weapons look cool but they are useless because of that mod. Maybe make the mod a separate craftable at that guy?

Gift3d · Sep 14, 2009, 01:32 AM // 01:32

there are some really nice skins in there but the mods that can't be taken off makes them just not worth it. so i'll agree with this idea.

Lux Aeterna · Sep 14, 2009, 01:57 AM // 01:57

/signed, just remove the mods and make the weps moddable like every other crafter wep, would be cool.

I play more PvP than PvE, but I use my PvE characters so I can look pretty without having to grind for tournment points. Regardless, it's pretty lame anyway to be handicapped. People aim to be using the best gear for the situation, it's an annoyance in the back of your mind that you are using a useless mod the entire time.

it doesn't only have to be for pve. i would love to have a charrslayer shield pvp ready

MagmaRed · Sep 14, 2009, 02:05 AM // 02:05

I understand the mod may not work for MOST builds and uses. However, the mod is specific to that weapon for a lore reason. Changing that would ruin the story involved. Instead of removing it from there, I'd prefer another source of the skin if it was THAT important to have. But we already have suggestions for more weapon skin options. Make PvP weapon skin exclusives available to PvE. Make all PvE weapon skins available to PvP. Etc., etc., etc.

/unsigned for your idea, as I feel the lore is more important than a skin

jonnieboi05 · Sep 14, 2009, 02:10 AM // 02:10

@ everyone quoting me: I was referring to the PvE aspect of the game. If I was referring to both I would have stated "PvX" or "PvE/P". ^^;

Also, MagmaRed hit the nail on the head. The charr weapons are meant to be lore based.

I don't care that it's lore based, they shouldn't have a few weapon skins that are only available with certain mods.

Tell that to Mallyx's cute little lantern.

I'd agree with splitting it into one that can't have the mod removed and one that can. But It seems like a stupid thing to do. If you really are into the Lore that much, then don't remove the Mod?

Edit: Gotta make this more clear. I think the Mod should come with the weapon, but it can be replaced and removed.

Atro · Sep 14, 2009, 03:10 AM // 03:10

Again Agreed with Chocobo1, then it doesnt screw up the lore and we are all happy

GWfan#1 · Sep 14, 2009, 04:00 AM // 04:00

I'd say dont change it :\ next thing you know people will be wanting to change the fiery sword hilt on the Q7 15^50 Fiery Dragon Sword they've had forever =]

uh yeah that's a totally different story. the fiery hilt is also useful(conjure flame mostly) unlike the charrslaying mods which literally can't be used for anything in pvp.

MithranArkanere · Sep 14, 2009, 11:38 AM // 11:38

PvE-only and non-battle related upgrades should be on a PvE-only slot.

That goes for "Highly Salvageable" and "Improved Sale Value" and "+Defense versus race" upgrades too.

eyekwah2 · Sep 14, 2009, 11:46 AM // 11:46

In my opinion, what they need to do is take every "Charrslaying" "Trollslaying" "Demonslaying" etc. mod and make it so that it reads "20% damage vs x, 10% damage vs everything else" so that rather than getting 15% while health is above 50%, you get 10% unconditional. Perhaps it's not as good as 15% while health is above 50%, but at least you'd see such mods used a lot more often.

Tenebrae · Sep 14, 2009, 12:33 PM // 12:33

Its a good idea , there should be an option to remove that mod if you dont want it.
