Opinion on a weapon

Post by Gaara »

So, i have a warhammer and i can't decide which way to go with it, i'm planning on either doing:

60 Lightning
60 Life Leech
30 Fireball
30 Mana Leech

Or leave the Fireball out and bump Mana Leech to 60. Adding Fireball gives more damage but i wonder if the Mana Leech will be enough at 30... :?

What would you do and why?

(Post Scriptum: I do know that 60% Mana Leech is more than enough but it looks pretty with the other 60's :P)

whats the base weapon? With full LMC, crushing blow only uses 12 mana. WW only uses 9. Regens are enough to take care of spamming WW, 30% ML would prolly be enough to take care of CB. But all 60's does look much pertier than 60/60/60/30

The base:

58 Dispel
58 Lightning
58 Life Leech

Now, i know it has the potential to be a 5x58 with Mana Leech and Fireball both added to 58 + 8 STR/HP/SDI making it pretty much a perfect weapon, but i'm doing something different with this one as i already have a few awesome ones :P

I didn't mention Dispel as it doesn't really matter (at least for now, dunno what +V/+N have planned for their facets :)) but in the end the weapon would be a 4x60 or a 3x60 + 2x30.

I personally dislike weapons that don't have life leech on them, it's great help in event areas/sgail (and i believe in future facets too) where mobs do mortal strike on you :)

And i do have better weapons already, this one is just for the giggles 8)

LL is kinda helpful for those MS moments. I'd take LL over SL anyday. Divine fury is much more effective than curse weapon.

if you already got a solid single target wep, add just FB and magic arrow or harm, with no mana leech. then have a sweet WW wep with 3x hits to shred stuff with :P

Gotta say, I'm a big fan of life leech - I found it a massive help when surrounded by rabid polar bears in the winter quest, and I notice a big difference in places like Fel Wrong, Sgail, and (before the changes) Fel Del at full-spawn. Without LL, a fully spawned Fel Del could be lethal, with LL, I was always fine.

Also, from what I remember from the OSI days, doesn't Life Leech take hit points off the MOB? In other words, it counts as another hit. If you already have, say, lightning, fireball, and harm, then some LL on there as well could serve only to bump up the amount of HP you're nicking with every strike.

I have 25 ML on several weapons. Never been a problem. Usually by the time I'd get low on Crushing Blow, the thing is already dead and I'm back to WW multiple mobs which it generally takes only 2-3 strikes to completely replenish.

I would like to see some evidence on LL taking hp off mobs for it would change a lot of things

Well, it may not be conclusive evidence, but if I forget to turn on my healing script and I have my LL halberd on I can walk around killing stuff for a while before I realise it's not on. Whereas if I put on my warhammer (no LL) and do the same thing death is pretty swift!

Quoting UOGuide "It gives an attacker the ability to leech Hit Points from his opponent every time he successfully delivers a hit."
