I haven’t seen a thread for the discussion of arcanium weapons yet (only bugs/speculations from before they were added) so went ahead and made this one after playing on my conjurer.
First, is this guy correct about them only being a placeholder for now? And if so, do we know what they’ll do afterwards?
So far, the only thing about arcanium weapons that are actually good for conjurers is the fact that it increases your imbuement by 1 tier. However, my main issue with them is that they only get 3 weapon slots. Why would I want to use a level 100 weapon with the same amount of skills as a level 50? The imbuement buff is not worth 2 skill slots.
I’m hoping that they give arcanium weapons 4 or 5 weapon skill slots, and then 1-2 customizable spell slots. This would hopefully make them fairly unique as they could have up to 7 different abilities rather than just being a worse copy pasted strength weapon for magic.
They’re kind of disappointing at the moment. Can anybody confirm if they really will be “heavily changed”?
but this does sound way cooler, instead of just the base weapon skill visuals imagine an arcanium bow shooting tons of blasts with arrow shape when you use quickdraw (just wouldnt do the damage of a full blast)
honestly the only weapons i’d actually like arcanium versions of like this are the guns, they dont even have enough skill slots anyway to really lose anything.
I feel like imbuement should just be removed from conjurors once arcanium weapons are an actual thing and give them something else as a first awakening.
Imbuement has always felt like a placeholder ability for arcanium weapons to me anyways.
or perhaps arcanium weapons are stronger imbuement? maybe imbuement is only 50% effective in stat changes due to the magic? and costs more energy because arc weps make imbuing easier or shit?
Arcanium’s whole deal is that it imbues real good and gets better the more its imbued.
(see: exalted arcanium weapons)
It being possible to imbue other stuff makes sense in universe I guess but it kinda feels pointless when we already know that conjuror second awakening is going to be taking weapons and turning them into arcanium versions of themselves.
Like if you’re running conjuror and not running arcanium, you’re just missing the point, aren’t you? (saying this in reference to a future where arcanium isn’t the borderline unusable mess it is right now)
