New Arcane weapons

[Rome]

Hey community!

I started playing again a couple of months ago after a long break, and there are two things I’ve been wondering about.

I missed out on the Storm weapons, which seem incredibly strong, especially when combined with the right Veil gear. Since the release of the Storm weapons, we’ve already gotten new Mythic Veil weapons, and I assume we’ll probably see another round of Veil weapons at some point during the Cursed Dunes expansion.

1. Competing on the leaderboard without Storm weapons

I’ve tried running LB with a full Veil setup, and it seems pretty doable. However, I still feel like players with Storm weapons have a noticeable advantage.

So, I’m curious what the community thinks. I’m considering seriously competing for the leaderboard in one of the upcoming events.

Do you think it’s realistic to compete for LB without Storm weapons, or is the difference simply too big when you’re competing against equally geared/skilled players who do have them?

2. Chances of new Arcane weapons

Based on previous years and how STS usually handles gear progression, how likely do you think it is that we’ll see a new generation of Arcane weapons before Halloween or Winter?

I’m mainly trying to decide whether it makes sense to invest heavily into my current setup for LB, or wait and see what new gear gets released.

Also curious if STS happens to read this and wants to tease us with some upcoming gear… 😎

1: Yes, as long as it isnt a solo map with a 10b hp boss. Labyrinth should be good for example.
2: No. Lovecraft 2027.
