GW EON precopy items worth buying?

I saw GW EON precopies forsale still on ebay for around three dollars, is the in game items that come with that worth much in game, I mean are they halfway decent items? I don't mind spending the 3 dollars its less than I give the pizza guy for a tip just don't want to buy junk thats all.

like always there is always something better. The skins are what I like the stats on the sword are good if I remember correctly.

The Glacial Blade is okay i guess... Only cold damage and +15% dmg while enchanted.

The Darksteel Longbow is pretty good. Sundering, and +15% dmg (but -5 energy as a drawback)

But it's the Hourglass Staff that owns. Any caster can use it, as there are reqs for every caster primary.
Energy +15 (5 more than normal staves)
HSR 20%
HCT 10%
HP +45 while enchanted

I stick this thing on all my caster heroes. Works like a dream.

Highly recommend the preorder.

The only real use I found for any of the preorder stuff has been for my heroes. Its also nice having max dmg stuff in pre-searing if that applies.

This is simply reflecting an insightful staff head built in to the staff, normal staves can have all these stats (exept the req)

and yes it is good to have these items for heroes, or even yourself, til something better comes along.

The sword looks great and is good if you run a w/e conjure ice build. +15% while enchanted with conjure ice + damage from conjure ice + +20% for being customized is a good damage boost.

Yup, the hourglass staff is just an invaluable hero weapon. The others don't suck either, and I like how they look.

Sundering is worse than -5en. Sundering is awful on a bow.

Glacial... well, conjure frost builds will have a pretty sword. But 15^50 is still more versatile. The hourglass staff is a hero weapon, nothing more.

Hourglass Staff = weapons for the majority of your heroes.

YES. I can't say this enough. And Vekk running around with that big ol' staff just owns.

It might be bad, but when compared to "poisonous" prefix on nevermore... you know which weapon to use as cheap hero stuff..

If your build uses poison, then poisonous is good. However, the nevermore bow has the significant drawback of being a flatbow.

i don't get it. don't they come customized? why would anybody ebay them?

Someone is most likely selling the access key to the pre-order items.

Personally I dislike "while enchanted" mod. Too much enchant hate all over the place.

And those builds that don't supply their own enchants will at very least have their health jump up and down due to monks.

Hourglass staff is great for heroes, until you realize it looks like some kind of mashed up wrench out of your garage =o I went out and got a few Kerrsh's staff to replace mine on my heroes. 60hp unconditional > 45hp while enchanted.

The 45 while enchanted is pretty effective on hero eles tho since they keep their attunements up 'almost' all the time. But honestly, Kerrsh's ftw )

The bow's pretty bad, both Sundering and 15/-5 are pretty poor mods for bows.

The sword's ok for a Conjure Cripslash or something of that nature.

The staff, however, is pretty darn good... generic mods you can throw on any caster hero (admittedly, a straight +30hp would be better...).

Lol i love the hourglass staff, i actually use it on my own ele, since its really flexible and I can use a combo of earth and fire magic :-). Great on spellcasters. I would say the 3 bucks might be worth it, although it was selling for 99 cents and you should have got it then...

I like the preorders.

They have a pretty cool skin, and half decent mods.
Plus i can recreate them at any time

Thats what I heard also but I am unable to find the 99 cent deal guess I will have to fork over the extra 2 but after looking at the Staff and other items I will just go ahead and buy the precopy. Thank you all for your input
