High end loot with goofy stats

I think my weirdest drop was a req. 8 fire magic, 20% HSR Healing, 20% HCT Domination with a wrapping of +1 curses (20%) (and of course some other mod that wasn't at all good, so that's the one it salvaged into).

I can honestly admit, nothing would piss me off more.

We feel for you.

And i just noticed that gonzo is a member of the guild that writes 'DotB Comic' by grphyne..

i feel as if i should kneel to you ^^

Classic!

I sold that Tactics shield with +1 Illusion magic for a lot..to an iW mesmer!

HAHAHAHAHA! dude... you lucked out :P

Damn. Any good head-shrink would encourage you to top yourself because that is just the worst thing ever.

A guildmate got focus with the following mods:
+5 energy
-5 energy

Nobody can beat that.

I can..
I found this in pre:
+3 energy
-5 energy

Now how do you explain that?

worst so far i found

max dmg staff with req 8 smiting
halves skill recharge water magic spells 20%
halves skill recharge of spells 10%
communing +1 20%

The general rule is that 99.99% of high-end drops will suck.
Examples:
Req 8 Ironwing Bow. Only mod was +19% vs Dragons.
Req 8 str Zodiac Shield +7AL vs Earth Damage.
Req 8 Oni Blade 15% vs hexed foes.
Req 8 Zodiac Daggers. No damage mod, only +5 armor.
Req 8 str Eternal Shield +1 to Divine Favor (19%)
Must i go on?

Yeah, I found me some Gold daggers yesterday. Max damage, but +1 dagger mastery (19%) - COME ON!! Just round it up to 20%! I don't think I have ever had a perfect drop!

Personally, I like the "Staff Wrapping of Pruning" - Makes me laugh EVERY TIME! +X% Dmg vs Plants! Since neither me nor my brother had a staff wrapping of death magic for my new necro, I decided to go for pruning for a laugh - time to farm in Pongmei Valley methinks!!

Me too. I can't even give these things away. This thread has made me really laugh. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that gets these crazy drops. You know, with some of the stats, the devs must have been working some looonnng hours. I can only imagine them working late one night, howling with laughter as they come up with some of these weapons. "Hey, I got one! Let's make this perfect axe with Req. 13 Inspiration Magic. LOL!"*

*No, I haven't seen this. But the day will come!

I feel for you on that crystalline dude.

I've gotten my fair share of triple-attribute mods, especially with high-end skins, in such combinations as fast casting req 13, +1 to Divine Favor (20%) and 20% of faster recharge of Air Magic skills, things like that. I think those oddities debuted at Sorrow's Furnace, at least that's where I started seeing them drop.

I had a Sundering 20/20 +30 Health 15^50 Flamberge 15-21...

So i thought id salvage at least id get some money... I got 2 steel ingots..

At least you can try to salvage one of those perfect mods out of an axe... with a shield you cant do that

And yes, i find it weird that high-end chests can give such crap items... especially the ones where you have to pay 1.5k a key

actually, there are some monks out there that would LOVE to have that shield.

LOL I had one similar to that

Max Dmg Plagueborn Staff - req 8 Divine
Halves recharge Inspiration Magic spells 19%
Halves cast on communing 10%
Fire Magic +1 10%

Yeah Righto

Gave it to a Monk friend of mine as I had no use for it whatsoever

Painful! But I'm right there with ya buddy. I've never had a successful salvage (yes, I use the right kits).

Didn't I buy that from you?


I remember buying a celestial staff from someone, 11-22, r10 smiting...20%hsr water, 10% casting all..
