And the block doesn't apply unless you're using two claws, so both things that would've made it viable are gone. :P Ofcourse I might be wrong. You're wrong on one count. Whirling blades alternates hands (well, randomly picks one of the two hands to deal damage) when you attack with it, so both weapons must be eligible for the skill. Don't take my word for this, you can make a level 3 marauder with a driftwood club and a nailed fist with ground slam and test this yourself. I misread the claw and thought it was 10% dual wield block (in general), not with claws (which it is). Sorry about that. So it's only 15% block, 10% aspd, and Ghost Reaver. Less viable, but still worth trying (since a 1h mace can still pump out some serious damage, enough to keep your eshield topped off). EDIT: Using this to keep your eshield high means you get full benefits from "on full life" effects like melee physical damage on full life support, shavronne's pace 35 mspd, etc. Last edited by pneuma#0134 on Oct 6, 2012, 4:49:04 AM	Posted by pneuma#0134 on Oct 6, 2012, 4:47:13 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post
Nevermind, found my answer. Let a man walk alone - Let him commit no sin. Let him bear few wishes, Like an elephant in the forest. Last edited by Zakaluka#1191 on Oct 6, 2012, 10:23:07 PM	Posted by Zakaluka#1191 on Oct 6, 2012, 10:16:17 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

Why are recent uniques not build-enablers anymore? They give racial skills... no more build enablers? I can easily pick ghost reaver on shadow, why have a claw that gives it? Ghost reaver would be cool for templar maybe. With some hefty penalties. I liked the old uniques that enabled some strange combos and at the same time gave strange penalties.

I tried it before. Unless they fixed it it mst definitely did work Build of the Week 14 The first Righteous Fire/Non-Shavronne's/Shavronne's HC Shameless self-proclaimed theory-crafting extraordinaire and forum crusader	Posted by Invalesco#7360 on Oct 12, 2012, 4:03:04 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
I hope we find the 2 missing uniques before .9.13.. " pneuma wrote: I misread the claw and thought it was 10% dual wield block (in general), not with claws (which it is). Sorry about that. I'm so disappointed that you were revealing already known information and you're not actually an Alpha spy.	Posted by FaceLicker#6894 on Oct 12, 2012, 6:33:20 PM Quote this Post

I'm not sure if I've said this in this thread or not, but the Ghost-Reaver enabling claw actually came first as a concept. It's been in the works for a while. It's just that the keystone was enabled before anyone found the claw. The person who came up with Sanguis indirectly enabled any build that uses GR. SO while the item itself might not be of that much use for people, what it actually represents (the creation of GR) is priceless. https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.
