[Review] Flame Forged Blades of Runesteel

[Avaree]

These daggers are quite fun. At first I wasn't too impressed with this set. I really didnt care for the 4.5 seconds of not being able to use skills when daggers proc, until i tested them in various maps.

Below you can read the "sheet description" of them.



The proc will do DOT for ten ticks in about 4.5 seconds to any mob I come into contact with. The proc deals a fair amount of dmg per tick. (See photo, I didn't capture all ticks at once, but below is just an example.)



I do receive a huge speed buff, stun and freeze immunity when daggers proc. When the flame daggers proc, i do see the icons for dmg reduction.

I will add more when I use in a full party. They are fun, especially for their lvl.

And yes, these are not tradable

poor glintstone set went down the drain for coins.

Jokes asside ty for sharing it . It should give us good idea before getting it.
In my opinion its counter productive since you do way more damage than 1k ticks, with skills.

Can you do comparison of arcane dagger and this ones skill damage difference?

I will once i set another superb fin in the arc daggs atm skill dmg is +75 with the arc daggers.

Flames +21
arc daggers +14

Well done!!
Can you add same comparison for warrior and mage? We are skeptical about pros whats not described.

4.5K damage then for the proc? Is it just me or is that a bit gimmicky? I mean, aimed shot does much more every 2 seconds and it doesn't prevent you from using other skills.

When the daggers proc, (in the map I took the ss of) I saw 850-1.2k dmg delt per tics. I counted ten tics, in about 4.5 sec.

Can you please try to purchase hammer? And test it if proc is cool? Lol

So, 10 ticks...12k damage in 4.5 seconds. Hmm...it seems to be an interesting trade off but I feel like a rogue still could do more damage with a combo. Why? SSS, Nox, Aim, SP. SSS can target up to 11 targets, so that's 11K damage minimum from just SSS. Then, there's nox with multiple ticks of poison DoT dealing 400-500 damage per tick. Afterwards, there's SP which does about 3/4 of an AS's crit in damage. So, SSS alone has the potential to outdo the proc...that's why I think these daggers are a gimmick. Nifty? Yes! Useful? Questionable.

The dmg per tick does decrease some. I will attempt to down load that screen recroder and try to record a video later .

Thanks! And thank you again for taking the jump and spending tokens on those daggers when nobody else would!

WTF!! Awesome... that is more fast than a fireball tick haha

[zerofort]

That's pretty harsh man chill

[Zeus]

Yes, that's awesome but not that awesome when we consider the fact that we cannot use our skills. Thus, becoming a lot less effective.

[CouchPass]

I think the new mythic weapons look really nice...

Bravo to STS for the design

Oh That's true :/ all the good always have something bad hehe, but maybe that anti-stun, freeze, 75% damage reduction and speed help a bit.

Yep, but without being able to use certain skills, in a PvP scenario it's just almost like there would be an interruption on your character...not being able to do much. Imagine if this proc happened when your character was low health in PvP? Your own proc would be killing you because it would not let you heal. If they want to disable skill use, then they should give it 100% damage reduction. Otherwise, at least let heal skill and escape skills to be used.

My point is not to argue with people, but just bring it to light that none of this seems to point towards progression - only regression.

Hold up
does anyone notice the last part?

So for however the proc lasts, the user is only allowed to use normal attacks
Which either means grab those skills before the proc else, when you're on low hp...gg

Yes, people have stated this a few times, hehe!

[Ticklish]

All this "tick" talk is calling my name... I wish STS provided videos of how these weapon procs are supposed to work, instead of having players have to take a gamble on trading their Glintstone set for coins to buy these. Especially since they're not tradeable.

For real

I have not been successful on up loading a video. I did see in my opening post, I didn't mention that in the photos I was using a 30% dmg kit. On another note, while recoding the video, during play back I noticed when in proc, my proc made an ice patch vanish...

(I tried to up load to youtube as well, the video wouldn't up load)

Hehe a certain someone teases me "rogues just tap tap tap" ...STS def. made the tappers now put thought into their game play. Good thing we still can smash our pots when the daggers proc
