Arcanium weapons are important to the topic of strength weapons— as they’re the next coming addition to the weapon roster. the balancing of one type of Hybrid weapon should be roughly equal to the rest, and Arcanium is our only upcomming hybrid weapon to compare too.
We do know Arcanium weapons will split stat costs for Weapon skills, just like Strength Weapons do.
Arcanium also won’t be gutted in speed like Strength weapons, because there is no thematic reason for such, aside from Arcanium weapons made of things like Earth and Metal; we don’t know enough to state how imbues would function, but it would be wierd if conj just lost its awakening ability because its dedicated arsenal just doesn’t work for itself (aka Arcanium can’t be imbued is stupid).
Weapons seem to be getting their hybrid content the quickest, so it probably feels a bit more overtuned than the other classes mostly due to that; but It feels like Hybrids are going to rapidly be getting more variety of content compared to whole builds.
Like realistically, if we don’t get lost magics, Lost weapons, Lost Relics, and Lost Styles… Hybrids are just going to have the same arsenal as pure builds until Higher tiers catch up. Like between Warrior and Warlord, if we had a strength weapon of every category, we’d have every weapon skill available to Warlord, which makes Warrior a bit worse.
Yeah vetex said how they work. The weapon skills are split cost and the magic skills are full magic still. It was stated in the QnA
have they even been confirmed to work the same way as strength weps?
Arcanium weapons and strength weapons are parallel to eachothers. Strength weapons feel op right now because no other weapon hybrid have their hybrid weapon yet but we know arcanium is soon because there was a patch note saying they were added just not functional yet which is why they aren’t in main game. The issue isn’t warlords are overtuned the issue is warriors have nothing to their name.
Boxing is a tiny bit faster then wind but you also have to account strength weapons are slow by nature so boxing being faster wouldn’t help on a weapon that’s slow by default
not to mention warlords are limited to 8 different imbues vs magics 20. This isn’t even mentioning DoT/Statues and greases mixed in which conj have a much easier time using fully
knowing Vetex, probably not. Thermo was already made “not hot enough to make steam” (i think, i remember hearing this, i never seen thermo because it has long been dead). I’d believe he would nerf Fstyle imbues first in all honesty.
The only FS with a magic reflection to beat its magic is in on leg and metal magic. But iron leg loses to earth basically the cousin of metal magic so yeah. No
Sailor at max is debatable but as you fight it drains and unless you constantly drink in combat it’ll go down. So judging it on average water dunks sailor fist
