well yes customize...since pvp
The Bard
i customize almost all weapons except caster. I like to take my pve chars to pvp from time to time and i don't resell. cash is easy enough to get anyway so i just keep them all ^^

Theres no point customising caster stuff, but on War weapons, it's a choice between +20% damage or not. More damage = better Warrior, so therefore I customise.

Honestly though, not customizing your weapons as a profession that can deal considerable damage through their weapon is stupid. It's a mere 10 gold and this game isn't some sort of "dress your character, enlarge your e-peen, and maybe sell it off when you get bored!" game. If you really think you're going to sell it off buy a few more weapon sets that are cheap and use them instead, because you're only decreasing your damage capabilities by alot. You're not going to be wanting a +15^50 / vamp / Fortitude martial weapon on a caster over a -5E or +5E. You're not going to need a bow on anything but your Ranger if you're being serious (and if you do I'm wondering why).

Stop bringing up wands and staffs its pretty obvious to anyone who has a clue people who are saying you should customize are talking about weapons you use to do damage with not caster stuff. And Tyla casters should be doing their job not worrying about how much damage they are doing wanding stuff, if you have to rely on wanding for damage you have more problems than worrying about customizing.
And jokes about wanding stuff are as funny as mending jokes, just stop it.

I just hate the feeling when I hit something that I could be dealing 20% more damage. Oh and I'm talking about Wands and Staffs, customizing martial weapons should be too obvious to even be discussed.

If one chooses to play those classes (the ones that are left out) - then based on your definition - one is retarded. If one does not play the specific build (not only team but also class build) - one is retarded also. Running non-customized weapons is sub-optimal. In PvE - that isn't an issue. PvE not only allows that - but it's actually designed for that. In PvP on the other hand one should be running around with the best possible gear. Which means EVERYTHING should be customized. And maxed. And if one can not afford that - one should be running PvP-only guys. |

YES

YES

I always customize my stuff, just a habit. Really though the only classes that need to actually worry about it though are War, Rang, Para, Derv, and Sin. Casters generally don't wand mobs to death and even if they did it would only be 2-4 extra damage from the customization.

There are some cases where having customized caster weapons would make a difference (QQ vs EW!). However, it's so minor that it's not really important. That slight increase on wand damage is made negligible under effects like overheal, overkill, party heals, and so on.
Physical weapons, on the other hand, don't have a reason not to be.

On the other hand, +20% damage is always and unconditionally a good thing to have, and it gives a significant boost to your killing power.

What you want is the game catering to the best players and this means that you have those people running the builds in question.
And that can only mean - the fastest clear.
And only that.

The funny thing is, people will spend 100s of Ks on a weapon that would do less damage then a customized white weapon with no damage modifier.
Owik Gall
I customize because I keep the weapon specifically to that character. Although giving extra damage to a staff that usually isn't used for attacking is sort of silly. +20 for casting or more energy, maybe. Hmm... I sense an idea to post in idea thread.

I just look at that and see lots of gold washed down the drain.. Most of those weapons have the same mod combination. I might understand if each one had a different mod combination. like dazers, cripplers, deep wounders, etc..
I wonder how much each one of those daggers would go for uncustomized?
miskav
Only thing I don't customize are caster weapons, cause they swap between my casters :3, they rest, yep.
Shasgaliel
I think trying to sell most the weapons is a waste of time and +20% dmg even for a monk can be useful so YES I am customizing stuff as well. If I do not use it the heroes will. The only problem is when I want to move those weapons to heroes on the other char... Then it comes to face the consequences of the previous decisions...
Sjeng
Customization should have been account wide from the start anyway... But meh.
Usually I don't customize, but that's because I simply forget to. I'm gonna have to check my weapons and customize some here and there, especially on my heroes...
Man... 10 characters with lots of heroes... I'm gonna need to work out some sort of organising system. Huge Excel file with chars + heroes + equipment + customized yes/no.
Madness!!!

Generally no. With an exception for some Destroyer weapons I was forced to customize in order to add them to my HoM.

I meen I am a
GodValue ? idk 10 mill ? No Biggie. If I didnt customize them than I might get the urge to sell some of them.... but why would I want to. I have the best dagger collection in the game.

Back in the day nah, I was too cheap.
However like a year ago I said wtf, a game is for fun, just customise that thing when you get it, the money you'll make from it won't get you far anyway.

I customise any weapon I use to deal damage with. I leave spell caster weapons alone though.
+20% damage for just 10g is an awesome deal.. I'm surprised that the price for customising hasn't been increased since it would be a brilliant gold sink.

I customize everything - wands/staffs/melee weapons - but not shields. I don't want to have to buy 9 of each +10vsX O:

I normally craft the weapons that I want like charrslaying shields and weapons and customize them. Everything else I sell sell sell.
Cale Roughstar
Yes, +20% damage on my warrior and ranger makes them better, and isnt that the point? Customizing my rare skins is just a commitment to myself that I will not sell them (even though I wouldn't anyways), and now I can use them for pvp.
Oh, and nice dagger collection ^^

Same as most here - I customize any martial weapons and leave the caster stuff alone. Resale, schmeasale - it's only monopoly money anyway.
Uhh, pretty sure shields can't be customized there, champ.
Even if they could, there's no bonus from it (think /bonus, PvP, or BMP shields: customized automatically, but no different stats).

To Arkantos and Fenix, don't worry be happy. I know GW's player base can be a frightening thing... but umm... I don't know where I'm going with that. At least there is always booze to cheer us up.
