Shard of Orcus Stats Rework!

xgrandz02

Seriously guys,

who had the great idea to put "the worst stats combination" on this new artifact,
this new set is supposed to be one of the End-Gear Sets,
but beside Power are the other two stats basically worthless,

We all know Movement and AoE Resist are not really noticeable, (just a waste of an slot place)
those two stats doesn't match for what this Set is all about.

Current stats:
+1000 Power
+1000 Movement
+600 AoE Resist

But it feels more like that:
+1000 Power
+0000 Nothing
+000 Nothing

This new Orcus-Set is supposed to be focused on:
*STR/CON
*HitPoints
*Deflection (Crit/ Power)


This is how it actually should look: Shard of Orcus' Wand

a)
+2000 HP
+1000 Power
+1000 Deflection /or + 600 Deflection (at least)

b)
+1000 Power
+1000 Movement /or +1000 Deflection
+ 600 Deflection /or +600 Movement

c)
+2000 HP
+1000 Deflection
+600 Power

This artifact need definitely an Stats Rework!,
For the players who using it, what do u think?

Edit:

For Example: Lostmauth's Horn of Blasting it does follow the same RULE of stats
on all pieces Artifact/Belt/Neck = Power/Armor Penetration

Nothing can beat the Aurora Emporium Catalog at worst stats combination!

Im sure its by design, if they put good stats on it, it will again be the only choice, by putting bad stats on it, its basically only an improvement on certain classes.. and even then a marginal difference on those classes of a increased 6-7% or so total overall dps.

If they are truly looking on making sets marginal, then that is the only way they can do that.

Everyones complaint originally was that elol was the only viable set.. nerfing it , makes most of the sets bad.. orcus is superior to certain set ups only now on certain classes only.

this is what alot of people wanted.

The stat combination balances the set bonus.

hehe,
this is actually not as bad as orcus, btw it's not a Set piece so it doesn't count.
this new set is supposed to be one of the new End gear set,
its why its hard to get it.

This.

I crunched the numbers when it came out, it still comes out competitive and still the best for certain classes (namely the GWF) but not by much. It's still slightly better, so no. It doesn't need a buff.

Hi. You think orcus set is better than Lostmauth set for GWFs?

Short: GWF's are dependent to focuse on At-Wills cuz we have alot of feats which support that,
Unfortunately we have a highly fail-rate with encounters skills,
it's why feytouched is still the best, thats for Pvp.

For the PvE side use what ever u want, (my opinion)

blinxon

I dont play PVP in NW. Sry. I dont know any game where PVP is so messed up like in NW. My opnion? PVP in NW is the worst i ever saw in all MMOs i played.
So orcus set is a good option for a PVE GWF?

Indeed. More Portobello's quests running through dancing axes

I agree that the stats are meant to not make Orcus' set the BiS and give other sets some breathing space. It is BiS for some people, while for others it can be in even grounds with some other sets.

The current stat combination allows the diversity of set usage.

When i see this new set, it's more focused on..
*STR/CON
*HitPoints
*Deflection / Crit/ Power


This is how it actually should look:

+2000 HP
+1000 Power
+1000 Deflection /or + 600 Deflection (at least)

+1000 Power
+1000 Movement /or +1000 Deflection
+ 600 Deflection /or +600 Movement

+2000 HP
+1000 Deflection
+600 Power

This artifact need definitely a rework on Stats!,

I couldnt agree more... i tested this set towards the lostmouth kit too , and seems i may aswell keep my lostmouth kit on due to what i offers ...

Roughly same dps also... im a GWF 3.4 T.Dread/T.Shad (Custom Build)

kinda feel like i just wasted 3mill + on this set for .... really... nothing..

The bad stat combination ( mainly arm pen ) compared towards lm set have to be rebalanced via either insignias or enchantments and thats where you will loose either crit or power which is roughly the difference in dmg 3% lm set and 10% orcus. However this changes as soon you are fighting bosses or stronger enemies which last minutes.
