ARCANE LEVEL 81 WEAPON STATS
We are about to wrap up testing on our new Arcane Level 81 Kraken Battle weapons and would love your feedback.

First the stats:

Rogue


Sorcerer


Warrior


ARCANE WEAPON PROC ACTIVATION
The introduction of 'guaranteed proc chance' after a number of successful attacks (but unsuccessful proc activations) has taken over for the "Kill Streak" activation we had in mind for three (3) of the new 81 Arcane Weapons. It's just so much more fun (and feasible for end game).

The Kraken Battle Claws, Kraken Battle Staff, and Kraken Battle Aegis (all of which are meant to empower your ability to clear groups of PvE monsters) are now using a 'guaranteed proc' after (n) number of attacks. Of course there is a chance for you to proc before you hit this max number of attacks. Currently playing with fifteen (15) attacks before guaranteed activation and will be trying higher and lower thresholds over the course of testing.

The Kraken Battle Bow, Kraken Battle Cannon, and Kraken Battle Sword which are meant to boost your ability to kill bosses use a 'guaranteed proc on charge' - so as long as your charged attack hits and your weapon is not on cooldown you'll activate the weapon's proc on the impacted targets. All weapons hit and can proc on more than one target (max varies per class - final figures still in development). Charged attacks from these weapons have a near-zero chance to miss or be dodged (also being tested / revised currently).


PROCS AND POWER
Kraken Battle Weapon procs are powerful, simple and straightforward. The proc is meant to either kill groups faster or to kill the boss faster:

Rogue
Kraken Battle Bow
Land a Charged attack to apply the "Killer Current" proc to multiple targets in range (if not on cooldown)!
This debilitating debuff does heavy damage and reduces your targets' damage output (by 90% in PvE, 50% in PvP) for seven (7) seconds with a thirty (30) second cooldown.
When the "Killer Current" proc activates you also gain a seven (7) second buff that gives you haste (25% in PvE, 10% in PvP), stacking damage (100% in PvE, 50% in PvP), and stacking speed (50% in PvE, 25% in PvP).
Note: Charged attacks can hit multiple targets (irrespective of cooldown)!

Kraken Battle Claws
Deal damage for a chance to summon the "Claw Tsunami" aura!
This swirling aura of swords lasts for seven (7) seconds and does heavy damage to enemies in range.

YOUR FEEDBACK
Thanks again for all of the great feedback on the Zodias Kraken Battle Armor and Helmet statistics and procs. It was great to hear from you and your responses energized the team to make (what I believe to be) the most fun choices!

We'd love to hear what you have to say about the Weapons!

Best wishes!
