Elemental Weapons Are Glitched? - Goals - 2008-08-15
Hi, I just recently got a lukless level 130 weapon. I shouldn't be the one complaining, but my weapon is Elemental Wand 6, which is the poison wand and it seems to not work. Instead of my damage supposedly being reduced by 75%, it is 100%. :f6:
There's three possible explanations to this.
1. Most people agree it's glitched and doesn't work, so all classes do 100%.
2. I think possibly it could be that they took out the damage reduction when another class uses it? Who knows...? I don't even own the level 130 elemental ice wand.
3. Maybe they took out the elemental bonus and penalty completely!
B> level 130 f/p to test this, haha.

Isnt poison wand useless anyway since it affects only the initial hit and not the actual poison damage?

It's like the lightning wand, because they're both amazing for bossing but not for training.

For the time being, at least.

there are only 2 possibilites:
1. the programmers forgot to copy/paste the elemental attributes on the weapons
2. they intended the wands/staffs to be used by anyone, regardless of element. notice how they didnt write poison/ice/etc staff/wand. instead they did it by #. perhaps they wanted 4 different colored wands that anyone can use? *shrugs~ just a thought.

^Wow, never noticed they removed the description lol.
This would stop bishops from being uber overpowered.

Does the -1 LUK on the gms wand the only thing that makes it below average? Or does the 1.25 magic bonus also appear at random?

Meh I'll just take this chance to perhaps trade my elemental wand away for an ice one. Mine is perfect magic
I hope they fix this next patch. I want the ice one so bad

Maybe it doesn't take a patch to fix them; Fiel stated in the other thread that the part of the staves' data that adds the extra damage is already there, which assuaged my fears that they didn't mean the weapons to actually do what they should do.
It's probably a server-sided issue, in that it simply doesn't recognize the extra elemental data of these weapons; maybe they didn't implement it, or if they did, it's bugged, or they just forgot to put it there. Nexon is capable of anything during a patch. I wouldn't be surprised if their HQ grew a beak and wings and took flight during a patch.
...or maybe I am wrong and it'll only be fixed next patch - and that's being optimistic considerig Nexon may take a long time to do anything. Either way I'm not in a hurry since one of the lvl 103 weapons sold for 300m just now on Windia, and my bank account doesn't top a third of that just yet.

It would actually help bishops because now bishops can use it without penalty. 145matk clean and it doesnt require and luk--that's better than any doomsday and dimon wand.

If they had the boost, though, they would be much, much worse.

There was never a holy boosting one, only ice/fire/poison/lightning. It would actually make things fairer betweeen mages and bishops...

What, to have a holy one?
I think people are forgetting that while Bishops do have some nice attacks, they are predominanantly a buff class, while AMs are meant to be attacking classes.

To add to the quoted post;
F/P & I/L's Ultimate has a 570 base Spell Attack.
After Amp, it's 770, with a 7,000 MP cost.
After Elemental Staves/Wands, it's 962, with 7,000 MP cost.
Bishop's Ultimate has a 670 base Spell Attack, with 3,500 MP cost. No Amp, No Staves.
Having just over two thirds of the power and half the cost is much more reasonable than having almost 90% the attack power, with half the cost. :[

Also, skeles are weak to holy and newties are not weak to anything lool.

Well, at some time far in the future when both classes can train at high levels on either neutral mobs or two different mobs where they can have an elemental advantage, the Elemental Wands and Staves should even out the cost difference. :x
