I am here to suggest an increase on the item level of Stronghold Weapon from 140 to
145.

The reasons are :

1) All equipments from Masterwork craft: ring, neck, belt, helm, armor, glove, boot are item level 145.
Then it’s logical that Stronghold Weapon would be item level 145 too.

2) The cost of production is very high and not attractive. This dispel potential customers, and makes the market becomes stagnant.

3) Cost-benefit compared to all other artifacts weapons.

4)The biggest rival is the Twisted Artifact Weapon, which is relatively easy and fast to get, and best of all FREE !!!

5) The DPS classes choose (with reason) Twisted Artifact Weapon because the damage bonus is higher than Stronghold Weapon.

6) Support Classes are the only one who see advantages to continue to use, since the DPS classes won't use the Stronghold Weapon ends up diminishing the effectiveness of Stronghold Weapon, and ends up forcing support classes also use the Twisted Weapon.

    Yeah, it's a horrible choice. Tell me again, why does it need a buff? If you don't like it, you don't have to build it. If you and 4 buddies build it, you get a slight damage increase. All is well as far as I am concerned.

    Making it the new "must have" is a fu**ing ret***ed idea!

    i understand you point of view, but don't you think with this upgrade everyone would change for stronghold gears which is pretty expensive?

    Actually the twisted weapons offer a lower amount of damage bonus than the SH weapons. With 5 people using the SH weapons you get 10% bonus damage, 10% reduced damage, and 10% increased healing as the 3rd bonus I believe.

    Twisted only provides 4k power or 4k defense or some combination of them. 4k power is worth 10% more damage, but it is not a 10% bonus to dps like the SH weapon is since the 4k power dps increase is relative to how much power you already have.

    The correct argument to make here is to decrease the cost to make the masterwork items, both the weapons and the gear, so they can become more available to the general public and thus become more widely used instead of only being available to the super rich
