Yeah, they've been gold for a while now. Makes them exempt from loot scaling.

I'm surprised there was somebody who had one and wasn't aware of this

The day they made that change, it was all I heard about from my alliance, in towns, etc.

Actually it was....

It was a SS of the weapon set. The blue icy dragon sword looked just nasty with a gold shield.

BTW, that's not the shield I would have taken a shot of, had I wanted to brag. lol

yeah...nice shield (i like anything that has the same stats as an end-game green without actually being the end-game green). those (for some reason i can't explain) embarass me.

What the heck?

Doesn't an Icy Mod on a Rare item make the 'Cold Dmg:' part of the weapon golden, too?

Quiet, I think Fireball is actually talking to himself (replying to one post three times??). It's rather amusing, let him continue.

Heh, it's not like I hide my IGN.

Naturally, if I wanted to be really sneaky about hiding my IGN, I might post it in my user profile under my avatar. :P

Sometimes the best conversations are with myself.

Burning Blades:

"Obvious intention" to hide that green eyed monster. I guess if it's not a tormented shield, it's crap. lol

Be good, and mom might buy you a new bike too.
