"Cloaks and Belts from Altar of Malice zones all now have either weapon skills or casting skills." Thats what it says in todays update....but its not true. My cloak and belt had no skills added to them, (fighter cloak and belt, xiocite). Any info when ALL cloaks and belts will have the skills you said?
That would most likely be after the servers have been patched, which would be tomorrow morning for Splitpaw.
All servers were brought down at the same time this time, US and EU, and all got patch at same time ..according to https://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/index.php?threads/server-downtime-tues-march-10-4am-pdt.558715/ . And people on our server got some belts and cloaks changed, from a discussion on general chat ingame. Thats why I had to ask =)
My Raid dropped Belt and Clock changed, but since I have not gotten a Mit/Block Raid drop i was using a MC Clock over it and it as stated did not get changed. Can we have the 96+Crafted Belts and Clocks get the same treatment, or have a Heroic dropped version that non raiders can get.
very nice change but was hoping for +focus on the doublecast cloak/belt and for some reason there is +focus +weapon skills on tank/melee cloaks but only +weapons on the belts
Focus is only intended to be on the melee cloaks for now. We will discuss it further and go from there.
Focus is a mage's auto-attack stat. As a result, focus is itemized on cloaks that support auto attack
Basically the stat layout on cloaks and belts were merged. If the focus skill is not there its because the other item with skills did not have the focus skill. Stats were not added that did not exist on another version of the similar type of items (caster cb/pot belt versus doublecast belt)
that makes absolutely no sense as auto attack cloaks would only be used by a mage/priest that melees (i.e. melee warden, not wanding like a dc caster), and they would need weapon skills not focus. Focus only effects spell weapons, not melee. Focus also determines a casters chance to be interrupted when being hit (thus needed on a caster cloak).
Where? I see a couple at level 95, and nothing above that. http://census.soe.com/xml/get/eq2/item/?c:limit=100&leveltouse=]95&typeinfo.knowledgename=magicaffinity&typeid=3&slot_list.id=17&modifiers.focus.value=>0&c:show=displayname,gamelink,modifiers,leveltouse kono
This. I think the issue is that focus was lumped in with other weapon skills, when in reality it should have been split off as a caster stat.
