New Ammon's Gear

I'll update this as I progress through the new PWs, but here are the first two for the DK.
Nothing is localized yet, so we don't know most of the set effects yet, but we do know that 5/6 should be interesting for PvE, even if it is totally useless for PvP. It also looks (based on the first two items) like it will be a rather balanced set with some respectable damage. Also, I don't know if you can see the icon behind the images, but they look totally new. It would be nice to see people actually using this set as opposed to just doing the quest to get the achievement and then moving on, but time will tell.
Enjoy!

These boots are obtained from buying it with new version of the PW fragments.


These shoulders are obtained from quest part 3/3 in the Hagastove Grotto/Loxly Caverns maps. I should finish this quest tomorrow and I'll hopefully be able to show you the third part once I get to it's quest..

 

Although the window is tight, the variable stats are a detractor. Keep 'em coming Bara, I've been hoping to see these so I could start doing some planning lol.

 

Like you said, the windows are tight which is a good thing... much tighter especially when compared to legendary windows. Also, the two damage ranges are good, even if you end up in the lower end. I'd be curious to see if the damage lines are higher for the ranged toons... trakilaki, could you oblige us?

Speaking of Legendary windows, in R158, they have also improved the HP/Armor/Resist stats on items (at least DK items) and retroactively applied the change to existing gear. I got a present surprise when I logged into Test Server and had an extra couple hundred HP, a bunch of armor, and resistance. That being said though, the gap from the top of the line to the bottom of the line is still significant.

Here are a couple of the items I already had that got retroactively improved. They show the high end stats for Armor/HP/Resist that I've seen on R158. Just remember, these are some verrrrry nice items that I've managed to save up on the test server.

 

Is that KK number in the upper right corner part of the rating system they hinted at? And GOOD GAWD at those stat numbers.

 

Yes I just logged in with my stable tank and saw that all my items have higher hp, armor and resist. I don't know if it's the same for all the classes. But if it is, maybe it's their way of fixing the dmg mitigation.
50 hp radiant gems are 70 hp now.... 50 armour gems are now 70 armour..... 40 resistance gems are now 45.
Dmg gems... radiants from 15 to 16 wow thx, 1 dmg will make all the difference

Q1 looks really nice now, visually. And also the new city for parallel worlds that will replace the current one.
Will we have to redo all the q missions again? I hope the ring of life will be improved.

 

I'm good with that, in fact they shouldn't have raised Rubies or Sapp's at all. Very happy to see core changes to Armor, HP, and resists though both on gear and gems. {cough cough} I'm beginning to think they heard us and took action to fix it, OMG, im feeling light headed.

 

Let'$ hope they won't increase mobs' dmg and hp too. Does anyone have perfect gems on the server? I have a few perfect armour and hp and resist gems. Before, my armour gems had 70 value... Now maybe 100 ?

 

Sorry i can't I was playing yesterday before I lost my connection (issues with my ISP) ... today if I am lucky with the connection I will play the challenge #4

Royal ruby - 38 damage
Royal Sapphire - 14% attack speed
Royal Amethyst - 180 HP
Sacred Cyanite - 135 armor
Sacred Diamond - 135 All Resistance
Flawless Onyx - 250 critical hit

 

nice~~~ all change~~my damage add high and my HP lol ~~so nice ~~i like~~
and new PW all need re doing PW

 

Did you found any items with critical hit value? Are they finally more reasonable lol

 

New Ammon Set Bonus:
2: Heal Spheres give you "Strengthen" for 2,5 Seconds.
2 (Strengthen): +15% Armor
3 (Strengthen): +15% Attackspeed
4 (Strengthen): +30% Walkspeed
5: 15% more Health Points from Healing Spheres
6: 35% Chance of creating a Healing Sphere when killing an Enemy
Items got much def, and a bit of Damage.

 

have the stats been reworked on pre 155 items as well or only on the new lvl50 gears?

 

Yep, from the roadmap...

I've seen the same old same old crappy crit stats. Sorry, no good news to share here.

Don't know. I only have LVL 50 items on my test toons.

Ugg, 2.5 seconds is nothing useful... plus, what about against bosses?

So, the set isn't useful anywhere other than PvE against normal mobs who would drop plenty of spheres, and they would probably be just as easy/faster to use a high damage build against.

Oh well, I guess that it is another set to collect for the achievement and then never use again.

 

so ,basicly the bonus only give free short buff form Healing sphere ,pffff

 

My stable tank on test server, level 45 has only level 45 items and they have been improved. I've seen over 300 hp lines on some items which were much lower before.

 

Thanks for the update and YESSS Finally some good news

 

This is the way the CM thread should look. Thanks Bara.

 

There us a tendency from BP, every bonus they throw in, its very small.
2.5 seconds buff...what?
Same applies for pet buffs, after few hours they decided to add second buff for a single pet.
Christmas cape give 3% I think.
Few more that I cant think of it now.

Do you know why this is happening? Because the game was not designed towards all this bonuses/buffs. I believe the design included nothing special except skills and mob bashing. But then buffs decision was made so not to break the system they have to make these buffs small as possible.

Original Ammon set was PvE, this one is too. Why 2.5 seconds buff + the current Strenghten. Why not 10 seconds buff + lower Streghten?
At least let us FEEL the buff flowing through us. Let us FEEL we are a bit stronger. I cant feel anything for 2.5 seconds because the time window is so small.

I'm seeing fail here, and I'm not even slightly surprised.

 

it looks like (i'll edit myself) EDIT

I know that is not final version but how did they get this lets call it "bonus"??
ammon set take time to get it but it is only good for achivemnt (witch on othere hand doesn't bring a thing...) so it is good for 29400 GOP

 

That is incorrect ... the original Ammon set was massively used in the arena ... at least some items since the set was incomplete for very long time.

Regarding the newest Ammon set version ... I can only thank the devs for refreshing my memory ... because I haven't seen something so stupid in a loooooong time.
