Your Xan Parry Sticks fail.

This on the other hand might actually be a useful idea.

Bump.

It's time ma's learned a new trick, bring on the cold fists, shameless self bump.

whats the point?

I'm not sure why you are asking for cold dmg on the party stick anyway...

I'd say screw that, lets go for melee dmg. I mean, cold would be nice for biodome, but other than that ....

106 melee dmg >> 53 melee/53 cold +dmg type modifier

ofc, it does have a lower cast req, and that is kinda cool.



I think we should get a nano called sacred calm that is a short term meditative stance that adds -130 crit (on opponent) for a duration of 11 seconds with a 1 second cool down and a 30 second lock out.

bump for a bit of defence vs all the upcoming AS sh*t we're going to have to deal with. yuck AS. Mass pvp is goign to be even quicker for MA's bleh.

I don't have any real deep reason for wanting cold fists other than it's something I've always wanted, and it's necessary to accompany parry sticks if they're gonna have cold dmg (and not that it's a big deal, but they'd probably end up having a glowing blue highlighted color like other Xan weapons, which is the common color for 'icy' things) .

But as always, this is just a concept, the actual stats aren't terribly important - if FC wanted to bump it up to +125 cold dmg with higher reqs I'd be cool with that too.

And its true, that cold damage for Xan parry sticks is completely superfluous as well, other than the connection to the water oriented flavor text on the Lotus Parry Sticks, which inspired them.

I've always wondered if there was any significant boost to be gained by using cold damage in inferno, where cold AC is a lot lower than all the others (and some mobs get higher Fire AC than others as well). I've been meaning to get an alba damage generating device to test it out one day, but never really got into it.
