Malabog sets rework

malekrothmalekroth Member Posts: 31 Arc User
Well the title pretty much says it all. Besides the cleric set which most clerics seem to crave, no other class is really going after the new sets, because they are from slightly to terribly worse than the gear currently in game. To add to that, the amount of time you need to make enough runs to get the tokens needed make it an undesirable place for ALOT of people. The design of those sets is just bad. I would ask to have those sets looked upon and reworked to make it something appealing to all classes, so people will actually started going in there more often. It doesn't have to be the ultimate set, just good enough for people to want it.

    Are you talking about the Fomorian Fabled sets?

    If so I am extreme stoked to be close to getting mine. I worked my *** off in the castle to finally get the shield. Once I had that it inspired me to start leveling Weaponsmithing so I could create the sword and complete the set. I love how you have to EARN this set by actually doing the dungeon. Not every scrub will have it because they bought it from ah. That in itself makes the set amazing. Stat bonus on it is slightly better then the Ancient Grand Knight sword and shield I have now which was the best a GF could get. So the Malabog Fomorian Fabled set is better slightly for my class. To me that and rarity make this set a MUST HAVE.

    As for the look? Who cares man use transmuting and make it look like any weapon in the game you like better. That is why transmuting is there. I pretty much transmute and dye every piece of gear to keep a original look.

    Probably talking about the 4 piece armor set, not the 2 piece weapon set.

    And you actually CAN buy the pieces for the weapon in the AH. Too bad the crafted piece isn't tradeable.

    first of all, if u call farming 2 easy bosses, which could be done in 20-30 mins with every pug, "working my @ss off" and "EARNING" - u have to wake up or u bought all ur other gear. Also btw shield is the most common drop in MC, so it shows what u call "EARN" is not much. Not sure if u farmed ur ancient weapon set, but only ~5 percent buy T2 sets off AH. And supply is horrible these days on T2 sets, u are unlikely to buy it even if u want it and have AD for it. So you really have to earn ur T2 set nowadays. Maybe u got lucky and get ur T2 piece from 1st run, but chance is 10%, and even to have that chance u have to kill last boss, which is not always easy with pugs. And u need to do it only during DD, which limits trials that u have to do it. And u can spam MC whenever u want and for how many times u want, 1-2 bosses are easy as **** and drop same items as fulminorax except gwf offhand.
    Thats not what is called "earn", thats what is called "mindless grind".
    To OP - yes, I agree, set bonuses are total bullcrap. They look ridiculous, have ridiculous bonuses and take ridiculous number of runs to get.

    The drop rate is Malabog is horrendous. I've been farming it a few times a day for the past month and have only seen a few pieces drop.

    Get rid of the blue <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. So lame.

    the cd on gwf set is just way to long 30 sec cd and might be useful 1 min its just junk.
    as it is it can prog 3 times per min for 5 sec so 15 sec of 5% dps out every min is 1.25% dps

    if it could prog 3 times per 30 sec then it be 2.5% dps still poor but be a lot better some set bonus give more than 5% dps for other class's I would like to see 10% crit severity or some thing as well % damage from the buff to bring to best in slot spot

    Yeah, the CW Malabog 4 piece set is absolute garbage. I've already salvaged the 3 pieces I purchased with fey seals. Mainly because I'll have enough to buy them all over again anyway.

    497 seals dropped in Malabog Castle yet I've failed to win a single fragment.

    How about allowing us to buy a fragment that is bound with 500 seals or 750 seals or something like that?
